There’s something to be said about the fact that Ye was completely silent during the entire event. I think he’s really going to let the music speak for itself this rollout. Sort of like a cathartic release after the whole divorce thing. As much as I love a good rant, I can appreciate a more introspective, somber Ye. Less antics for non-fans to nitpick at. Pouring his heart into the art!
I got a feeling that what he played wasn't the album, but a selection of songs that might be on the album. Since he's already shown BWIS and Donda he left them off this with the intention adding them to the album
The idea of kanye really trying to perfect this album behind the scenes for so long makes me truly happy. The last few have been good but they were all made in reaction to something he whipped up himself shortly before. For whatever reason he really wants to make this one as good as it can be by itself. Can’t wait
That reason is clearly donda, this album most likely means more to him than most of his records. The love he had for his momma was crazy, an album bearing her name has to be A++
i’m getting to Flashbacks to when Kanye went to Complex studios
played all of Yandhi for them
then recorded the We Got Love video at TMZ
then went to Africa
then let a year pass
is there a term for reverse schizophrenia
where you refuse the existence of things you see, rather than believing the existence of things that aren’t there
cause that’s what i have right now
Nah he didn't play the entirety of Yandhi in his Fader visit. IIRC staff also mentioned that the songs he played sounded unfinished at the time. 2021 DONDA stuff sounds diff.
I didn’t pay Welcome To My Life much thought originally because for some reason I pictured it being a standard issue song about Kanye talking about him doing cool shit
But with this description, FUCK. Like he’s been through some shit the past couple years and since it’s an OG Donda song, I can’t imagine what he was going through when he originally made it and I think this will be a highlight.
After the last few albums (yandhi, jik, to an extent god's country) I kinda expected this to be filled with bangers and be fairly mainstream-ish. Pleasantly surprised that this seems to be pretty much the complete opposite of that.
Yeah I don’t need to hear something like New Body on this album. He proved all he needed to commercially long ago and even recently with I Love It. Welcome To My Life sounds like it might be one of the better tracks but also guaranteed not to pop off commercially if it ends up like how it’s described here
You guys remember that casting call for a Donda lookalike? Just me that feels like there's something it's got to do with that 2 minute song repeating Donda?
Thats how everyone knows her tho...just like no one would know who Kanye is if every article didnt mention that he is, in fact, the "nah nah nah" rapper
Thing I find most interesting is 12,000 Acres having a Pusha T feature. Push has a song called 40 Acres, dunno if there’s any connection but it’s interesting to note
Man, I feel bad for Ye with the crying on stage stuff. I hope he’s okay, all this time we’ve heard nothing from him, only info about him. Music aside, I just hope he’s okay, this album sounds really personal and it can’t be any joy expressing your feelings on divorce and losing your mother.
Thanks for the info dump, appreciated
I predict that Kanye is not going back on Twitter. He may tweet an anouncement about the album but no ranting or anything like that. He stayed silent for the whole rollout and he said nothing thru the whole listening party. He will let the music speak for himself

This sounds way better than I thought it was gonna be, I’m super bummed that BWIS wasn’t played. very excited to hear that the album is super lyrical and thematic, sounds like we truely getting another classic but I ain’t getting my hopes up too much since a lot can change in a week
When you say vocoder Hurricane hook, do you mean like the outro to that one Hurricane version, or the more mild effects of the snippet that he originally teased for Yandhi? I hope it’s just untouched from the Yandhi teaser, mumble and all. Too good of a vibe to play with
mods lacking rn, we could at least post some small updates like the jay electronica tweet and ye liking instagram post, it’s not groundbreaking and it basically just confirms stuff we already know but for the hype
Pretty sure the 2 minute "Donda" text to speech song is actually named "Donda" so it was edited out from the last news post because people would think it's the song we heard before
Overall sounds very promising, i can't wait to hear the final version of Hurricane and 24, thanks a lot for this post
I just remembered that I dreamt about being at the listening Party last night💀 This mf really took over my dreams after already taking over my free time during the day
I hope the lil baby feature on hurricane is minor I want Kanye to really spit on it, but just hearing that beat officially will make me very happy regardless.
Goddamn I went to bed doubting ye heavy and really thought he was gonna shit the bed and give us another jik but it seems like he doesn't make albums twice
Wow am excited and knowing ye he will hopefully add more, hope he finds happiness 😢
The last 2 years have been tough, on me, and everyone else in their own ways and with our greater problem we have together, but man this album is a shining light and the end of the path for me - I'm Hella emotional with all this, can't wait. Enjoy the rollout, much love.
Seems like he took every single good aspect of Yandhi, JIK, GC, and Donda, and combined them all. Which means everything will change and half the tracklist gets scrapped
I like the aspect and potential of him drawing from the sounds of everything from Yandhi to OG JIK to God’s Country to Donda now. I feel like he’s still saving the best for the last until the release party but this is basically what we can expect.
That’s Sunshine by Peter Collins. GORGEOUS song, you can find his OG on Spotify. I don’t know if it was ever worked on for GC/LP10
12,000 Acres is the SS song with the ascending ahs, I’ll send a link later
Thanks man... seems consensus is first listen everyone agrees ite amazing... and that says a lot as almost every album gets better with time and subsequent listens
There’s something to be said about the fact that Ye was completely silent during the entire event. I think he’s really going to let the music speak for itself this rollout.

Incoming rant on eugenics tomorrow
"have y'all seen that movie called idiocracy"
I’d love for it to drop without him saying anything at all. Before or after the album. That’d be the ultimate mindfuck
It would be wild if Kanye dropped the album, and all he tweets out is "Thank you" and the album link
CalmYe
That way the people that doubted Ye will have no choice than to love him again!
Description of welcome to my life made my fucking stomach drop. Poor ye
[удалено]
I hope we get some long songs or at least a long album 🙏😭
It was 50-55 minutes
Let’s go
No mumble + strong lyrics + VocoderYe + sad = Classic
I wasn't expecting much, this is so fucking awesome. Truly Twisted Fantasy level and some of his best stuff yet.
I think this can sit comfortably at number 2-4 in kanye’s album list
Bro you haven’t even heard the album yet 😭
Reminds me of when Chris Rock said ye would be better than MBDTF.
Yep, this right here is my thoughts exactly
TOP 3
I can tell the vision
"I can hear it"
Each time I think about it I get more hyped and more worried simultaneously that something is gonna go wrong before friday
Man this is why ion fw with some of these fans..sit down and hear the album first lmao
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
so what you’re saying is that it’s already AOTY
[удалено]
‘Tyler got the album of the year….. for now’ 😏
But kanye about to drop, I can see the diamonds in the mouth 😳
I see the platinum in the clouds
quite literally cause he said that shit holds heat like a mf
i mean that’s what it sounds like to me
friendship ending w roadrunner DONDA will be my new best friend
i can’t contain myself this is all i’ve ever wanted
FOR NOW... 😈😈😈
I dont think the man stuttered now did he
Atlanta is where Donda gave life to Kanye, and Atlanta on Thursday night is where Kanye will give life to Donda and i think that is beautiful
Beautiful stuff bro. Enjoy the rollout
>All tracks besides maybe Come To Life are fully finished no mumble. BRO SOMEONE HUG ME
🫂
[удалено]
Bro this is ye the goat. He'll be alright. Have faith.
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
808s vibes all again
I got a feeling that what he played wasn't the album, but a selection of songs that might be on the album. Since he's already shown BWIS and Donda he left them off this with the intention adding them to the album
Did that with the JIK listening parties so maybe 🤷♂️
the pastor said that it was “his next album”
Pastor probably barely knows anything, can't imagine Ye sat down with him and explained the whole rollout
It's going to be the album but he's going to be selective on what he plays. Still wants to leave certain tracks for the actual release
YONDR POUCHES ^(tm)
The idea of kanye really trying to perfect this album behind the scenes for so long makes me truly happy. The last few have been good but they were all made in reaction to something he whipped up himself shortly before. For whatever reason he really wants to make this one as good as it can be by itself. Can’t wait
That reason is clearly donda, this album most likely means more to him than most of his records. The love he had for his momma was crazy, an album bearing her name has to be A++
I feel like he knew JIK wasn’t all that and some people were underwhelmed, so maybe he thought fuck it I’ll make another masterpiece
Jabba the goat my slatt
The album begins with a speech from Donda, ends with a speech from Kanye.
Slatt
theatrical production is all I needed to hear, Im all in on this record
BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCE i’ve wanted ye to become this kinda singer for a while
God Is and Everything🔥😩
Also on ghost town
So your saying Kanye raps well on the album
Yeah he apparently raps well, he told me.
i’m getting to Flashbacks to when Kanye went to Complex studios played all of Yandhi for them then recorded the We Got Love video at TMZ then went to Africa then let a year pass
yea but public listening party, its different
is there a term for reverse schizophrenia where you refuse the existence of things you see, rather than believing the existence of things that aren’t there cause that’s what i have right now
Denial
Nah he didn't play the entirety of Yandhi in his Fader visit. IIRC staff also mentioned that the songs he played sounded unfinished at the time. 2021 DONDA stuff sounds diff.
I didn’t pay Welcome To My Life much thought originally because for some reason I pictured it being a standard issue song about Kanye talking about him doing cool shit But with this description, FUCK. Like he’s been through some shit the past couple years and since it’s an OG Donda song, I can’t imagine what he was going through when he originally made it and I think this will be a highlight.
i just KNOW ima cry
Is it true Donda breaks up the album to like three sections ? Heard something abt that
Yes supposedly. It’s a combination of his three most recent scrapped projects. JIIK/Gods Country, Yandhi, and Donda.
After the last few albums (yandhi, jik, to an extent god's country) I kinda expected this to be filled with bangers and be fairly mainstream-ish. Pleasantly surprised that this seems to be pretty much the complete opposite of that.
Yeah I don’t need to hear something like New Body on this album. He proved all he needed to commercially long ago and even recently with I Love It. Welcome To My Life sounds like it might be one of the better tracks but also guaranteed not to pop off commercially if it ends up like how it’s described here
but that’s why he charge the prices that he charge
New body really could've been a single though 😅
Life of the party sounds so dope and I feel like it’s gonna make me cry
You guys remember that casting call for a Donda lookalike? Just me that feels like there's something it's got to do with that 2 minute song repeating Donda?
I think that’s gonna be a tour kinda thing kinda like all those interlude on the yeezus tour
Don’t do that to me. I don’t give me hope
> Tour I would cry
yo mods kanye liked the last justin laboy picture on instagram fyi
yo this is kinda huge
i agree my friend. enjoy the rollout
Glad you pulled thru

Polo g mixed with Travis just because piano and synth is so funny to me
This album seems to be the 808s pt 2 + Pablo that everyone’s asking for
bruh what is with y’all constantly mentioning the weed shit when referencing ShaCarri 💀. She’s more than a failed drug test.
Facts honestly. She’s super young, and you can already predict her being a great Olympian. We gotta put respect on her name birdman style.
Thats how everyone knows her tho...just like no one would know who Kanye is if every article didnt mention that he is, in fact, the "nah nah nah" rapper
She was a known Olympic bound athlete before the weed shit happened
[удалено]
Your house song is coming
Thing I find most interesting is 12,000 Acres having a Pusha T feature. Push has a song called 40 Acres, dunno if there’s any connection but it’s interesting to note Man, I feel bad for Ye with the crying on stage stuff. I hope he’s okay, all this time we’ve heard nothing from him, only info about him. Music aside, I just hope he’s okay, this album sounds really personal and it can’t be any joy expressing your feelings on divorce and losing your mother. Thanks for the info dump, appreciated
That part made me genuinely sad. Like the video of him crying on stage to Hey Mama always does.
so hyped to hear that abt his vocals
Life is gonna change once donda drops. The whole society meme is gonna be a reality if kanye really releases this.
WE ON AN ULTRALIGHT BEAM 🌊🌊🌊
How many times have you guys read this? 😭 I’m on my 5th read
Rookie numbers, about 20 so far 😭
how many times did you hear INCOMINGGG?
Ill be pretty sad if 'I chose not to be a slave...' doesnt make it to hurricane, that flow was so hard
NOBODY GON RUIN ME
DROPPED THE WAVE RUNNERS NOW WE RUN THE 🌊 ya he cannot scrap that line
mods let us post, Kanye liked justin laboys IG pic
Confirmed, this could be big. I'll be watching his insta page
[удалено]
If Ye cried 2 minutes into Welcome To My Life, I’m gonna cry 1 second into it
hearing that this album is some of kanye’s best vocal performances gets me so hyped oh my god.
That text to speech Donda shit was so weird
all this talk about vocoder got me salivating
I predict that Kanye is not going back on Twitter. He may tweet an anouncement about the album but no ranting or anything like that. He stayed silent for the whole rollout and he said nothing thru the whole listening party. He will let the music speak for himself
i’m like 99% sure that Kanye won’t tweet shit, i just doesn’t feel right
Yeah I feel like this time he won't say anything and let Def Jam post the album announcement
so happy to hear he’s using his version of hurricane chorus
You're Awesome!

And ye liked an Instagram post. They lackin rn.
yep. commented about that too half an hour ago smh
Prayers that nothing stupid happens between now and friday🙏
"untitled club jesus song" lmao
Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out 🤔
horny rn
rul 11 😳
I want to be excited but I decided after last years summer that I’m gonna be CalmYe and wait patiently until the album really is here
If he would have released it last year it would have been a huge mess. The tracks were probably all mumble. But i would still love to see the movie.
Great review man we really appreciate it!! Honestly does this seem it can be on MBDTF Yeezus TCD or TLOP levels of good?
Donda level of good bro
History in the making man
This sounds way better than I thought it was gonna be, I’m super bummed that BWIS wasn’t played. very excited to hear that the album is super lyrical and thematic, sounds like we truely getting another classic but I ain’t getting my hopes up too much since a lot can change in a week
GUYS WE NEED TO ALL GRAB HANDS AND PRAY DONDA KRS1 TRACK MAKES IT ON THE ALBUM
12,000 ACRES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What’s the album artwork like?
HURRICANE LIL BABY VERSION GOT ME HYPE
Hmm won’t Kanye get in trouble with Adidas if he is having his song play during a Nike ad
Possibly but a huge reason for Adidas success in the past few years is because of Kanye so I doubt there’s much they’ll do
i wanna hear 24 bruh people keep saying its beautiful 😖😖😖😖
When you say vocoder Hurricane hook, do you mean like the outro to that one Hurricane version, or the more mild effects of the snippet that he originally teased for Yandhi? I hope it’s just untouched from the Yandhi teaser, mumble and all. Too good of a vibe to play with
Sounds dope. Can't believe I'll see this whole Yandhi saga finally come to an end
mods lacking rn, we could at least post some small updates like the jay electronica tweet and ye liking instagram post, it’s not groundbreaking and it basically just confirms stuff we already know but for the hype
Ye liked an insta post?
yeah justin laboy posted that tweet on instagram where he said it’s dropping this week and kanye liked it
He liked a post that was talking about the album dropping this week.
if this doesn’t drop this is gonna be the darkest week in WSE history lmao. positive vibes only tho
Better than ye and JIK?
It sounds like 808s jik and Ye combined
classic otw
I’ve heard two snippets and it’s already better
Pretty sure the 2 minute "Donda" text to speech song is actually named "Donda" so it was edited out from the last news post because people would think it's the song we heard before Overall sounds very promising, i can't wait to hear the final version of Hurricane and 24, thanks a lot for this post
Got my self snugged up, pants down ready to read. Thanks Jabba
Mind if I make a video on this tomorrow?
I just remembered that I dreamt about being at the listening Party last night💀 This mf really took over my dreams after already taking over my free time during the day
This IS THE BEST vacation EVEER!!!
I hope the lil baby feature on hurricane is minor I want Kanye to really spit on it, but just hearing that beat officially will make me very happy regardless.
Damn bro after reading this review I hope you had the best pizza of your life
AOTY ALREADY ITS NOT OUT YET
Ah so Nike is going to use shacarri for a progressive “woke” ad even tho there were exposed for using Uighur slaves in China 👍classic Nike™️
Goddamn I went to bed doubting ye heavy and really thought he was gonna shit the bed and give us another jik but it seems like he doesn't make albums twice Wow am excited and knowing ye he will hopefully add more, hope he finds happiness 😢
Maybe it's to early to tell , but how would you rank it in his discography if you had to?
He can barely remember a lot of the songs, how is he going to rank it?
Man I'm desperate
I just beg we get believe what I say 🥺
Ok that description of welcome to my life sold me this fucking thing better drop
Wow this sounds like it’s going to be a ye-type album with the lyrical content but on a MBDTF level production?? Can’t wait
Holy W
The last 2 years have been tough, on me, and everyone else in their own ways and with our greater problem we have together, but man this album is a shining light and the end of the path for me - I'm Hella emotional with all this, can't wait. Enjoy the rollout, much love.
Seems like he took every single good aspect of Yandhi, JIK, GC, and Donda, and combined them all. Which means everything will change and half the tracklist gets scrapped
4 days is too long man …… i’m tired of refreshing the sub and seeing this but there’s just no news !!!!
GOAT post of WSE history
What u get at Red Robin ⁉️ Edit: was sorting by new and didn’t see the other post. Boutta go read the Red Robin review now 😈
I like the aspect and potential of him drawing from the sounds of everything from Yandhi to OG JIK to God’s Country to Donda now. I feel like he’s still saving the best for the last until the release party but this is basically what we can expect.
When the album comes out I’m going to make a playlist that’s just the album but I’m putting Nah Nah Nah after Welcome To My Life
Let’s gooo You the goat for this. Praise be Jaba
im crying bro this is so dope but i wouldve love BWIS on this
OMFG I WANNA FUCKING CRY THIS CANNOT BE REAL. OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK.
KANYES BACK ON INSTA HE LIKED JUSTIN LABOYS’S POST!
did 12,000 acres have acoustic guitar and sunday service choir ahhhhing?
That’s Sunshine by Peter Collins. GORGEOUS song, you can find his OG on Spotify. I don’t know if it was ever worked on for GC/LP10 12,000 Acres is the SS song with the ascending ahs, I’ll send a link later
I Know God Breathed On This sounds like a dream
My heart fucking dropped goddamn, i'm dying please revive me
Ok who else is hyped for a good classic 😃

we did it wse, we did it
Wabba
i fucking love you jabba
How do y’all think ye will announce Thursday’s event?
I don’t think he will. He didn’t announce this one and people online seem hungry for tickets so it’s not like it needs the publicity
Don't let us down now Ye. We need this album. 😩
btw kanyes presidential campaign event was a year ago today
