Complex News Exclusive: Kanye West's Unreleased 2002 Freestyle
In 2002, Kanye dropped a few incredible bars for Complex's editor-in-chief before anyone knew that Yeezy had raps for days. And they're being heard for the first time, right here on Complex News.

As Complex's The College Dropout Week comes to a close, we've saved one of the best Complex exclusive gems for last. On Monday, we released our digital cover story, an unedited interview with Kanye West from 2002 with our Editor-in-Chief Noah Callahan-Bever.
The cover story was loaded with goodies, including original animation. But the best that was saved for last was a never-heard-before freestyle that NCB recorded during his conversation with West. If didn't think Yeezy's always had bars for days, check out the video above and listen for a prescient, enthusiastic reference to a sneaker brand West is now linked with.
