There are 16 tracks in total and a few of them sound different in one way or another from the final copy of the album, for example, ‘ Blame Game‘ has Kanye himself singing the chorus instead of John Legend. And yes, the file recovered is absolutely legitimate. They are not exaggerating, this user has become a part of internet history for sure, solving one of the greatest mysteries for a Kanye fan. “This random anon doesn’t realise he has just become part of music history,” said one message. “idk who you are but you literally just solved a grail thats been tried to be cracked for 10 years,” one user replied to the person.

Once they were able to unlock it, it still asked for a “master” password which was obviously not in anyone’s knowledge and we all know how hard it is to randomly guess them. However, on Sunday night, some chatter began on the YandhiLeaks Reddit forum that multiple passwords for the individual songs had been decoded.
There was even a fierce effort by some KTT users seven years ago - again with no success. The files when unlocked were coming up as “corrupted” in extraction software. For the past 10 years or so, users on the internet with expertise in decryption have tried to unlock it but to no avail. It was very carefully protected by multiple passwords - one for the entire folder and then separate ones for each song.
However, there were two issues with the file. Somewhere on the way, the file got hacked and then leaked on to the internet. It was an early version of the album with some songs slightly different from what came out as the final product later in November, 2010. The purpose? So Hype could get a feel of the music and start creating ideas around it. zip file was sent to someone from the management team of Hype Williams, the storied director who was supposed to create multiple visuals for the album. For those who don’t (even I had to revise some of the facts - it’s been a long time!), there was a file named recordforhype.zip that was reportedly hacked by an unknown person from an email account.
