Albums Kanye West - DONDA Deluxe (Discussion Thread)

It's not conspiracy, but there is a cultural bias.

that's fair. I won't argue with that.

5 songs in.

Drake cant fux with this.

I dont get the complaint for iTs ToO lOnG

Do you nikkas have ADHD? How is 1hr 44 minutes too long? Like have yall never sat through a movie? what the hell

Just play the damn thing and stop complaining. The alternative is 6 tracks and each are like 45 seconds.

I actually think that's a fair complaint. Film and music are different art forms. A 2 hour movie and a 2 hour album are different things. Most people are not ever asked to have to set aside 2 hours to digest a full album. It's not a thing that people are used to having to do, and for people that want to hear an entire album front to back without skimming it or putting it on shuffle, then 2 hours is a big ask.

Also, there are plenty of albums in the 40-70 minute range. It's not like Kanye can only choose between making 7 track projects or 27 track projects.

Ppl who don't like Kanye LOVE to let everyone else know they not listening to his shyt


With most artists if you not vibing with it you just keep it moving, maybe drop one post letting ppl know your opinion and then move on. But with Ye it's a true obsession. It's some of ya'll dudes that supposedly "hate" Donda in here posting more than ppl who actually vibing with the album. Like you gotta announce from the rooftops that you don't like the album or some shyt. We see you

He blew it on the release date fukkery. He pissed too many people off.

Naw. He dropped perfectly. If you got the right set of eyes and Gno.

As the Hurricane hit. With Hurricane as the single too allegedly.

Agreed. Also I think he dropped it on Michael Jackson's birthday. Not a coincidence.

Why do people care about reviews anyway? Because some people don’t fukk with Kanye, they’ll use these poor reviews to support their case. However, when an album like TPAB by Kendrick has the highest rating of all time, people hate on that and call it overrated (even though I personally thought it was a great album). I never cared about some white suburban person’s opinion of anything involving hip hop culture.

Watch what type of reviews Lil Nas X will receive when his album drops

Reviews shift perception. Yeezus has universal acclaim and to me, that album is a hodge podge that lacks direction yet 9/10 online will say it's a classic.

Marilyn Manson’s 11th album, ‘We Are Chaos’, spans everything from Satanism to angry Enya – review

Here is the Independent's review of the latest Marilyn Manson album btw, 3/5. Are they going to change it to 0/5? Of course not

I think Ye delivered a good album (Probably his best since MBDTF). However I do think if he tightened up more on the songs/sequencing and left off like 5-6 songs it would be in the upper echelon of Kanye’s best work.

College Dropout
Late Registration
Graduation
808s & Heartbreaks
MBDTF

Those are his best albums imo

It does sound like that a lot of effort was put into the music which I didn’t feel on his previous albums. There’s nothing downright terrible on here…There’s a few standout songs, while the rest of the album has either good to mid shyt.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

This shyt is so trash I might summon ol boy myself to put me out of my misery after listening

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Believe what they say track is dope

 

[Organic Trees]

I’m not saying u did. I’m saying the people u co-signing did. Look at the exchanges. nikkas is hurt and tryna shyt on people with a different opinion. People get literally nuts when it comes to Kanye and this is why I should’ve followed my own advice and stepped away from this thread to prevent exactly this but people kept quoting me when I was gone.

I respect your opinion, G.

Removing Cudi from Remote Control was a good call. Them hums weren't hitting.

As for the negative reviews by the critics…It’s funny to me because those same publications are the same ones that were on Ye’s nuts and overpraised his albums like he was perfect. Now they’re switching up

I ain’t caping for Marliyn Manson weird ass or anything (He was nothing more than a shock musician/troll during his heyday) but i don’t understand what that has to do with the album. You can attack Kanye for that without attacking the album.

Those publications either have an agenda or try to maintain they’re “coolness” it seems. Its clear Kanye has lost a lot of support from those same hipsters and those are the ones that control those publications. Kanye ain’t looked as being cool anymore.

They’re partially responsible for Kanye becoming the monster that he is today…with all that dikkriding and overpraise.
