Even after the album dropped, it was mostly people were praising it. It wasn’t until later that evening and the following day when most of the comments were trashing it and even posting the reviews coming in from white media outlets. Lately, the comments haven’t even been about the album anymore.1). The music sounded better in the context of the theatrics of the listening event than it does as a stand alone album. This is more than likely going to be one of those albums that when he tours live will be an incredible show. But as a straight up and down listening experience there is much to be desired.
2). Kanye shot himself in the foot with having too many songs. The "Part 2" bullshyt to the end the album gives it an unfinished, meandering feeling. TLOP didn't even feel all THAT disjointed in comparison and Kanye released it in a similarly rushed manner. Still it FELT and listened like an album. Donda sounds like a manic playlist.

What does fame have to do with moneyThis is the most overly-simplified, reductionist comment in this thread. You think Kanye does the shyt he does for sales???? Have you watched his Joe Rogan interview, or the Zane Lowe interview he did a couple years back? He talks about the idea that he would ever do anything for the money, in summary, he's got so much money why the hell would he do something he doesn't believe in just for some money? What about Kanye's career/life outside of music makes you think he does ANYTHING other than what he feels passionately about? You can hate on him all you want but the guy is driven by any number of things before money, especially when you are talking what, a few million off album sales?
Kanye having people like Manson, DaBaby (and hypothetically Trump) on stage with him is to send a shot at "cancel culture", its a social criticism. The dude has been outspoken against cancel culture for the past few years, if you cant put two and two together than I don't know what to say.
He is using his platform to defy the plague of political correctness and mob mentality that dominates our society. Kanye has always been one to think for himself, the whole Trump thing was a way of saying "who the hell are you to tell me that just because I'm black I should only vote democrat? I'm an INDIVIDUAL, f*** your identity politics!"
Not bad considering the sunday morning release

good point. if Kanye did more R&B these days i'm sure his rep would be a lot betterThat Teyana album was the best R&B album that year. Kanye the GOAT R&B producer (okay, not really but he's up there). That Nas thing was dumb. Ye tried to do that 1 album per week nonsense but there were interesting things that came out of that. I still liked it.
I personally don't mind the album updates after release. He sort of discovered something there. With streaming, the music you put out doesn't need to be the final product. You can still make changes. I remember he updated one of the 808 tracks this way like 5 years after release date. He thinks outside the box. Sometimes for the better sometimes it's for the worse but I like that he goes for it.
its akin to what the MONSTER verse did for NickiMight be a career defining moment for him if he plays his cards right
