Over the few years that they've been together popular boy band/ collective Brockhampton (aka kings of teasing snippets of music they'll never let fans hear) have made a habbit of teasing song snippets for unreleased tracks. Why do they do this? Do they want their fans to suffer? We may never know. But today OP has taken time out of her busy cleaning-up-after-the-holidays schedule to give you all the content you neither wanted nor asked for!
Over the past two months BH has released episodes for their self-produced miniseries, Keeping The Band, on their official YouTube page. And with the release of these episodes? A handful of song snippets that are varying degrees of good. We can assume that these song clips are from songs that were cut from their latest album GINGER and honestly, I'm okay with that.
4. 1998 ROOSEVELT
Literally no one talks about this snippet and that not okay. This features some instrumentation (and some of Matt's verse) that was used in 1998 TRUMAN and Kevin's verse from TONYA and overall gives us a peek of what kind of album iridecence maybe could've been before it went all the way left (not that OP doesn't love iridescence, because she does, but this would've been cool too).
The only reason it's not higher up on the ranking is because the elements that they took from this were used to create two songs that were marginally better so nothing of value was lost.
3. LET'S GET MARRIED
This song is assumed to have been on the infamous unreleased Brockhampton album that never was: Puppy. It features vocals from frequent BH collaborator Ryan Beatty and is just, overall, what seems to be the beginning of a really beautiful song.
Brockhampton's leader, Kevin Abstract, later included Ryan's vocals and some of the instrumentation from this on a track for his solo project. And while OP loves Baby Boy, she also loves Joba's verse on the original and is sad that it'll never get an official release.
2. BANKROLL
This is probaly the fan favorite as far as unreleased tracks goes. Originally teased in the video announcement for their 'i'll be there' tour, it's assumed that Bankroll was an outtake from their album iridescence. The clip features public Swedish enemy no.1 and failed pornstar A$AP Rocky.
Not going to lie, I didn't really get the hype for this one for the longest of a time. Only recenty have I found myself activley looking for it and listening to it on loop. Honestly not sure why this one wasn't on the album. It would fit nicely between Something About Him and Where The Cash At but hey what do I know.
I feel like this choice may come as a surprise to even the most well versed Brockhampstan. When it comes to unreleased songs that get asked for the most amongst fans you mainly hear Bankroll, Capri-Sun, or Ready For War. But this is my list and I make the rules!
Although OP is not the biggest Matt Champion fan I feel like this snippet is my favorite thing he's ever done. That being said it feels a lot like something that could've been on the Saturation trilogy and wouldn't have fit on Ginger at all so I understand why it wasn't included. But man imagine Merlyn on this beat.
Thank you all for putting up with yet another Brockhampton post from me! What is your favorite unreleased BH track? Do you agree with OP? Any that I didn't mention? Once again wondering what the hell is Brockhampton? Tell me what you think!
