Albums Kanye West - DONDA Deluxe (Discussion Thread)

Where’s all the Kanye haters at now?

At this point he's selling strictly off of his name and hype. Not because of the quality of the product

Blood on the Leaves was trash? FOH, I didn't like a few of the tracks but overall it was dope

“New Slaves” is great too

This is definitely his best album in a long time, he could've left that Pop Smoke song off though.

That Westside Gunn verse was some Troy Ave shyt - terrible. There was no reason to remove the LOX and then censor them on the bonus track, the original Jesus Lord was monumental and he should have just kept that. The rest of the bonus joints are disposable. Other than that I like the final version more. Remote Control He could have done some Frank Ocean Nights beat switch shyt with that song. As a whole package this is the best hip hop album in many years. This easily stands out over the copy-paste algorithm bait stuff most rappers are doing nowadays.

That’s wild

I firmly believe he would have beaten Drake on the charts….if not it would have been extremely close…on some election shyt.

That’s some Michael Jackson shyt right there

I live the positivity on this album the most. To come from an album a little inspired to be a better person isn’t a bad thing.

Adrien Brody was supposed to be a lead in Terrence Malick’s war movie (Thin Red Line) and when he saw it at the premiere he had like one scene.

Thats wild

Better than his last two, those were unlistenable

Most people won’t be listening to this in a mere 3 months. Reminds me of when Yeszus released to a lot of hype and folks were talking like it was next level genius and then it was just forgotten.

The themes on this are powerful and probably the strongest point of the album. Big upgrade over the good old exploration of "sex, wealth, violence and addiction". It was about time someone rose above.

But in all fairness to that movie, a lot of actors in that movie who were huge names went through a similar experience. Sean Penn had one scene even

So far i'm liking

remote control
off the grid
jesus lord (took a while to heat up but was fire)
believe what i say
no child left behind

haven't finished it yet but that whats resonated with me. It's not terrible so I expect it to blow up the charts.

Kanye is a very polarizing person. You either fuxk with him or you don’t. I can’t take the criticism too seriously because it’s always personal for y’all nikkas. If we talking music okay it ain’t for everyone. But when y’all start throwing shade at people who enjoy it that’s some lame shyt.

I said the album was trash.

the problem is the people who likes it always take it other the top. We can all agree that it's not a exceptionnal piece of work, so people sayin "this is a masterpiece" "it's the best album of the last 10 years" "this is michael jackson level right here", that tend to bother us a hip hop listeners. If it was just people sayin I actually like the album and keep it at that, there would be no problem
