Albums Kanye West - DONDA Deluxe (Discussion Thread)

[ItWasWritten]

808s is fantastic and one of his most cohesive works. Yeezus criminally underrated as always. Placing Cruel Summer over either of those is comedy.

Yeezus is horrific
808s I hated


It is what it is

There are some gems on this album, if he refined it down to 10-12 songs it'd actually be great.

Half of these songs start to sound the same after awhile and I find it hard to differentiate which song is which, especially when alot of the guests have a similar sound and style.

I don't get the "stadium music" genre people keep putting this in either, most of this shyt would be a snooze fest at a festival. Outside of a handful of songs there is miminal energy, not a lot of catchy hooks/verses and nothing to really dance too either.

I'm still waiting for the beat to drop on mose of these joints

I stopped listening to "secular" music like a year ago, so appreciate Kanye trying to put out music that has to do with his faith/spiritual life. That being said, listening to "Remote Control" has me tempted to go listen to every Young Thug song ever made, his verse is the best thing I have heard since I stopped listening to hip-hop.

"I treat you lovely and righteous and kind (Hah)
And we’ll be messin’ with another until we die (Yeah)
I’d give you kids at the drop off a dime (Dime)"

highly recommended

brahs gotta listen to “No Child Left Behind” so much positively. When this album comes out I’m gonna cop it.

Idk if it got anything to do with Kobe, but 24 is my shyt.

I was wondering the same.

There are some gems on this album, if he refined it down to 10-12 songs it'd actually be great.

I stripped my version down to these 12 tracks:

1. Jail
2. Off the Grid
3. Believe What I Say
4. Remote Control
5. Moon
6. Heaven & Hell
7. Keep My Spirit Alive
8. Jesus Lord 2
9. Lord I Need You
10. Pure Souls
11. Come To Life
12. No Child Left Behind

This makes the album an incredible listen for real.

Da Baby went off

 

[ML29]

He's not even the first artist to do that

…Okay

 

[ElectroMan]

The "jesusssss Lord" background vocal is a sample from swiss singing is from a random IG live story (52 sec)

Ye's ear for samples is incredible

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Might be a career defining moment for him if he plays his cards right

him and pop smoke has that “sound” he should make it his own.

Its boring and falls off a cliff

How can you argue store run, moments and nobody ....

You think the last half compares to that ?



No phone love
Brunch on Sundays is wack
Count me In is decent
Compuure i just want to hear nas not hitboy
My Bible just meh
Nas is Good ...Boring


The tracks are ok, I'm just saying coming off of 3 5/5 tracks, it just slips, and so does the production...

I just prefer Kings Disease I more... sorry


But I think i see why you stay in this thread, I think your upset people are talking about something other then Nas, its ok bro I think he's the GOAT too...

I'm just not emotionally attached

Bruh. I’m in like 6 threads. And I don’t stay in the thread. I get daps and quoted and I’m back in. And this shyt has NOTHING to do with Nas. Check my post history when it comes to Ye and his bullshyt. I been calling it out since before MDBTF. Don’t play yaself. Also ya taste is trash.
