| Before The College Dropout | 🏅 Green Eggs & Ham (with State of Mind) | First song Kanye ever recorded in a studio. Written when he was just 13 years old, with his rap group named State Of Mind.

According to No I.D. in an interview, it was "real super-early, 90s-sounding, yelling type of hip-hop record with a computer keyboard beat that was really quite funny", but he also stated that "the music wasn't good". | | | | Confirmed | Not Available | https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2007-11-13-0711130488-story.html https://beats-rhymes-lists.com/facts/no-id-kanye-west-manager-early-days/ https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-mentor-no-id-on-early-days-mc-hammer-pants-6745313/ |
