Back in 2008, Kanye had a development deal with HBO for a single camera, faux-documentary show (think Curb Your Enthusiasm). Writer/director Larry Charles told MTV that HBO ultimately passed on the series because it was “too hardcore,” noting also that “HBO doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to black shows.” However, nothing stays buried forever, and now footage from the show has been unearthed thanks to actress Alison Quinn‘s reel. The clip finds Kanye making a Make-a-Wish kid’s dream come true. Watch it below.

This is not Kanye’s first foray into failed television. If you’ll recall, he also attempted a Crank Yankers style series with Rhymefest, which, if you haven’t seen, you can watch a clip of below.
