Albums Kanye West - DONDA Deluxe (Discussion Thread)

[DoubleClutch]

Jesus Lord part 2 needs to be a single with a video plus throw NAS on it

Can you image It getting radio spins and all the DJs gotta say “Jesus Lord” every time they play it

Kanye made “Jesus Walks” and “Jesus Lord” he never going to hell

I hear hurricane & jail everywhere right now
Fans of music winning right now. Especially with Drake & Kendrick dropping soon

All this hype over Jail?

He would have done 400K easily on a Friday release

I’d argue higher than 500k. Had this dropped midnight Thursday….would have been a whole weekend of purchases/streams. Given the hype, I’d even say 550k

All this hype over Jail?

I think part of the reason is because it is at the top of the album and features Jay-z so it is going to be one of the first tracks people listen to even if they don't make it all the way through the album.

"Instead of focusing on “Donda” as an album, or a playlist version of an album, it’s helpful to think of it more like theater, an iterative affair that evolves a little each time you encounter it. In the last few weeks, it has gone from regional company to Off Broadway to the Great White Way — each stop on that journey matters."

Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ Era, on a Chaotic Stage

This is probably the overall fairest sentiment towards Kanye's mind state when making the album. Performance Art is more important to him than just "merely" making music. I'd argue that Childish Gambino has done a better job mastering that overall philosophy. But Kanye at the very least will always manage to make the journey something fascinating.

There is a reason why Gambino tweeted this out after the album dropped.

You supposed haters secretly bumping this shyt, how many more posts y'all gonna make.

You aren't changing anybody's mind

I swear some of you nikkas are definitely paid by Def Jam.

Be sounding like straight groupies.

The 3 song run of remote control, moon, and heaven and hell are god level to me

 

[Busby]

Remember the writer over at Pitchfork who gave a bias and unfair review of Nas’s “King’s Disease 2”? Well he is back..this time at GQ

 

[YakSpiller]

shyt is strange. A supposedly pro-black website is so hyped for a man who was pro Trump. Told us slavery was a choice. Doesn’t write his own raps and let’s Euro whites feed him in limousines.

Dude is a clown with a whole bunch of clowns telling him how great his whack ass music is.

Really says a lot about who really post on here
