9 Famous Albums The World Will Never Hear

8. Kanye West €“ So Help Me God

These days Kanye West comes across as so erratic that it's difficult to know what he's going to do, say or release next. Which is incredibly interesting to watch, but it can be frustrating for fans who expect to hear something and then are totally denied the opportunity.

This is essentially what happened leading up the release of West's seventh studio album, which ultimately ended up being titled The Life Of Pablo. At present, fans aren't actually sure whether or not the album has officially released, as it's only available on the streaming service Tidal and West has stated he's still tinkering with the tracks and making changes.

Nevertheless, however, in the years leading up to Pablo, the quest for the seventh Kanye record has gone through some huge changes. In 2013, West announced the record was titled So Help Me God, and featured tracks like God Level, All Day and Only One. In the end, none of these tracks wound up on the album, leading many to speculate that in the time between So Help Me God and Pablo an entire record was scrapped, despite that being where all of the fan hype lay.

Reports that West had finished the album before shelving it and changing direction have led many to believe there's a whole record of potentially great material the world will never hear, especially since the sound between the released So Help Me God tracks and what ended up on The Life Of Pablo is so vastly different.
