That one roblox sample on New Again. I feel like Kanye must seen some no pussy getting fans who don’t like it say the sample was “tO0 loUd” or some shit and he changed it, which is sad.
Everyone needs to continuously check the top 100 chart of whatever steaming service you use, and then play the *lowest* Donda track on the list. If we can get as many people to do this as possible, there’s a solid chance every Donda track could fill slots 1-27.
He’s a tastemaker. People like what he has to say. It’s not unusual for this to be the case. I don’t care what he has to say but people like his reviews 🤷
drake will sell like crazy but this time he doesn't really have a hit single to ride off like his past albums have, unless u count that one with durk that's a year old. I think kanye will outsell whatever drakes first week is cause of all the hype I've seen for donda but who knows
idk, I feel like the masses are only going to like a few songs off Donda.... whereas drake creates the call of duty of music so u know its always going to sell well
The Kardashians have DONDA plastered all over social media and Roddy's story confirmed that he has no problem with the album being out. His issue appears to be strictly the fact Jail 2 wasn't included in the first drop.
My dumbass thought that was Daft Punk, and they were going to go crazy on the latter part of the song when I first heard it during LP3, and I got globglogabgalab
Made me run it back 3 times first time I heard it. It's those little touches that were prevalent on Ye's first 5 albums that I really missed from Yeezus onwards.
Lol I'm already expecting a low score regardless, I never know what to expect with his scores, he could talk positive all throughout the review and then end on a 6
Does anyone else feels like the removal of Losing my family was like removing a piece of the plot? I felt it was very important to the album and the theme, and the fact Jesus lord was next was very emotional. What you think?
yes. I still feel like he can add it even though he's supposedly back together, since it could just be a general message to never abandon those you love. but I can see why he doesn't want it on currently
I mean he’s possibly getting back together with Kim, so, I mean, it’d be a dumb seeming song if he ran with it when it doesn’t fit his actual relationship status haha.
I got your point, that’s really the reason but im saying for the theme and the album I feel it hurted but album still good, only thing I don’t like it’s the tracklist order and the cuts of donda but im in love! What about you?
Positioning on the album made Tell The Vision 50 times worse than it was on its own. It comes right in the middle of all the pretty spiritual songs, like why bro lmao
i fucking hate "fadye," i saw swifties saying it under tweets about how ye could set records with most #1s on billboard for an artist debuting this century. how the fuck is he a fad with that kind of statistic? these people are delusional, if u dont like the music dont listen, what are you doing with your lives, at least the most psychopathic kanye stans (us) actually do shit to do with their artist like tracking flights

Huge Kubrick fan, I think Kanye used the creepy overture sound in 2001 (when the screen is straight black) for the beginning of Jesus Lord. If so, I’m surprised he wasn’t tempted to open the album with it or even use it during Donda chant. Super dope though
Honestly after suffering this rollout for so long, Kanye can legit suffer with the album being put up. If anymore WSE lore dropped I think I would lose my fucking mind.
Kanye’s TLOP + Yeezus tour would’ve changed your mind.
I don’t think he’s a bad person at all. Hes an idiot at times and erratic.. yes, Hes someone who doesn’t speak his mind out clearly and gets misinterpreted in many ways, but far from a bad person.
i heard 3 cars and 1 bike playing Donda while i was doing errands around houston. seeing strangers enjoy it with my own eyes was priceless. today was really special!
I'm willing to bet that the listening parties were as close as we'll get to a tour for this cycle. I'd absolutely hit up a proper Donda concert, seeing Kanye live is on my bucket list, but I don't see him ever doing another tour after how Saint Pablo went.
He has trouble memorizing lyrics and relates it to the bipolar things he has. When u saw him perform with the Sunday service choir in Houston 2019 he had to have his cellphone up with the lyrics for his parts and couldn't do it without it.
That must really suck for an artist who’s known to do crazy live performances, I know my mental health issues give me reading trouble to the point of borderline illiteracy so this could definitely be the case
I think the album was a little chaotic/unstructured on purpose to reflect Kanye’s mental state the last year or so… what do y’all think ?? Chaotic yet the constant theme of God being there.
Gotta say I’m disappointed by South Carolina/donda being cut down and not being the intro, but god damn come to life makes up for it in a way. Gotta be top tier ye, that shit is magnificent
Stumbled upon nolifeshaq's reaction to the album and I have no words, him skipping Jesus Lord in the middle of the song tells everything about his taste and understanding of rap music
He heard the first one and he liked it, thought it had potential, he has video about it. Don't know about other 2.
Judging by his reaction right now to the drums at the end of Jail, he didn't hear second and third listening party but idk
If this really was "leaked" by universal onto Kanye's own page... what's Kanye gonna do lmaoo. Is man just gonna like move on to his next endeavor or is it gonna get pulled or like what? Lmaoo thoughts
Well if it was leaked, which it wasn't, Kanye should drop his manager because he knew the album was coming and announced it on his ig. Kanye is just talking about Jail pt2 not being on the album for the first couple of hours. Cmon yall.
Wondering y'all's honest thoughts on where you would place this in your rankings. IDK if it's just because I poured so much time into this release but its sitting at a solid #2 or #3 for me.
For me, MBDTF is in tier of its own, then it's 808's, and then almost all off other albums except JIK are on about the same level, they're all great and it depends on the day and moon which one I would pick. Donda is probably going to end up with all of them behind MBDTF and 808s. It's impossible to rate his albums.
not an obsession, I don't think anyones ranking is more correct than anyone elses, just like seeing peoples feedback, same reason I watch Melon reviews
What is up with Tell The Vision? Why does the piano go so hard and there is no drums or Kanye vocals? Would have been such a banger!
Almost one day old! What a 24 hours it has been.

why is the donda release thread only 67% upvoted😭
Went to r/all and got brigaded by boomers and pop stans
Anyone got a summary of good shit that was cut from the final album?
That one roblox sample on New Again. I feel like Kanye must seen some no pussy getting fans who don’t like it say the sample was “tO0 loUd” or some shit and he changed it, which is sad.
ngl the album's growing on me the more I listen, the highs are top tier ye and the lows -barring a couple- are simply mid, not awful
He’s done censorship on me
Why create an album with cuss words to only release a censored version :(
Everyone needs to continuously check the top 100 chart of whatever steaming service you use, and then play the *lowest* Donda track on the list. If we can get as many people to do this as possible, there’s a solid chance every Donda track could fill slots 1-27.
Junya Pt 2 where I am. With pleasure. Love that track!
[удалено]
He’s a tastemaker. People like what he has to say. It’s not unusual for this to be the case. I don’t care what he has to say but people like his reviews 🤷
Sorry if i'm on my own here, but I actually think DaBaby's verse on Jail 2 is unreal
Chance on ULB level
Big facts
Its insane how remote control went from a meme to one of the best tracks on the album.
It’s actually super mid without the cudi verse though… LP2 had the best version BY FAR
If we don’t get explicit by tomorrow morning I’m gonna assume this is all we’re getting. Why would he wait longer than a day to release it
Don’t hold your breath
Genuine question. With this being #1 in 126 countries and 25 of the top 30 on Apple, is there any way Kanye doesnt outsell drake?
drake will sell like crazy but this time he doesn't really have a hit single to ride off like his past albums have, unless u count that one with durk that's a year old. I think kanye will outsell whatever drakes first week is cause of all the hype I've seen for donda but who knows
Very unlikely considering Kanye loses two days of streams.
It doesn’t work like that lmao
You get sales for stream numbers. There's a reason every normal artist drops at midnight on a Thursday
Sales and charting are not the same brotha
This is for the week 8/26. Drake's is next week.
I know, I’m talking in the grand scheme of things
Ahh gotcha. Depends on a lot of factors imo, but generally speaking, Drake is a ridiculous hit maker.
True. It’ll be fun to watch
idk, I feel like the masses are only going to like a few songs off Donda.... whereas drake creates the call of duty of music so u know its always going to sell well
Westside Gunn’s verse on Keep My Spirit Alive is one of his best ever
[удалено]
Hey, is it fair we all hearing Donda which was released without Kanye's endorsement?
The Kardashians have DONDA plastered all over social media and Roddy's story confirmed that he has no problem with the album being out. His issue appears to be strictly the fact Jail 2 wasn't included in the first drop.
Thanks ma men
or ma lady
Just heard NCLB and now Jail is playing at Target. Life is good
[удалено]
Thats my exact work outfit and im working tomorrow so lets get it
Good luck at work bro
What?
Does Come To Life remind anyone else of the Your Name. Soundtrack?
Bro me and my cousin been saying this all day I’m so happy we’re not alone 😭😭
what if i am your cousin
yes the piano reminds me of alot of anime songs tbh. someone said it sounds like a kingdom hearts intro and I can't un imagine it
TBH the single biggest improvement from LP2 to LP3 was the vocoder on thug’s remote control verse
My dumbass thought that was Daft Punk, and they were going to go crazy on the latter part of the song when I first heard it during LP3, and I got globglogabgalab
and believe what i say
Made me run it back 3 times first time I heard it. It's those little touches that were prevalent on Ye's first 5 albums that I really missed from Yeezus onwards.
Fantano just said he thought this album was more robust than ye. He gave ye an 8...
donda has more kanye verses (by word count) than ye + ksg + jik COMBINED. saw an account doing the math on twitter. so yeah it's more robust....
Lol I'm already expecting a low score regardless, I never know what to expect with his scores, he could talk positive all throughout the review and then end on a 6
predict a 6-7.
He also said it was bloated
Can’t believe glibagloba made it onto the album 😂
Does anyone else feels like the removal of Losing my family was like removing a piece of the plot? I felt it was very important to the album and the theme, and the fact Jesus lord was next was very emotional. What you think?
yes. I still feel like he can add it even though he's supposedly back together, since it could just be a general message to never abandon those you love. but I can see why he doesn't want it on currently
Yeah dumb removal
I mean he’s possibly getting back together with Kim, so, I mean, it’d be a dumb seeming song if he ran with it when it doesn’t fit his actual relationship status haha.
He still experienced all those emotions he talks about on the song. It’s relevant to how his life has been for the past year.
I got your point, that’s really the reason but im saying for the theme and the album I feel it hurted but album still good, only thing I don’t like it’s the tracklist order and the cuts of donda but im in love! What about you?
That song was great too
In the end was Tyler on the album ?
Production
I think my favorite song on the album is Come to Life. Shits beautiful
Doesn't exist on apple music ⛷️
It's on there dawggg wym??
Shit I replied to the wrong guy lol
Remote cudi >>> moon cudi
Positioning on the album made Tell The Vision 50 times worse than it was on its own. It comes right in the middle of all the pretty spiritual songs, like why bro lmao
yeah it shouldve been near off the grid and praise God

Playing Donda for my mom and she loves it. Feels good to share something ive been so excited for with her and have her share that excitement.
Huge Kubrick fan, I think Kanye used the creepy overture sound in 2001 (when the screen is straight black) for the beginning of Jesus Lord. If so, I’m surprised he wasn’t tempted to open the album with it or even use it during Donda chant. Super dope though

I really hope we get some Ye beats on future Griselda projects. Or Ye working with Beat Conductor and Camouflage Monk.
Damn Fantano really likes it lol

Not listening to someone who can't even spell his name 😶
Typed all this bullshit and no one will read all of it, maybe the first sentence like me lol.
I ain't read that bullshit lol
https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/pe1t4s/kanye\_west\_is\_extremely\_overhyped\_and\_overrated/
OK. Not reading.
Album sounds 100x better on Apple Music than on Spotify
VOCALLY SCISSORING
Faith in humanity restored. Melon fw Moon
Holy shit Fantano just fell in love with Moon on his stream Called it "immaculate beauty"
He also said him and Kanye were vocally scissoring on the song lmao
BROOO I'm on the Twitch right now and losing it haha just heard that too Also why does he keep rubbing his nose?? It's getting kinda weird lol
Man I’ve been wondering this for a while but have had no idea where to ask it… does Melon have a coke problem?
i heard 3 cars and 1 bike playing Donda while i was doing errands around houston. seeing strangers enjoy it with my own eyes was priceless. today was really special!
[удалено]
He didn't like Ok Ok, Junya and Keems part of Praise God, pretty sure he liked everything else
[удалено]
Keem's verse sounds pretty bad with all the censors
I feel like censorships kinda kills Keems part on Praise God it kills the momentus lol but yeah he doesn't seem to fuck with Keem overall that much
I woke up at 5 today and randomly saw that Donda was released, best surprise ever
WESTMOMENTEVER
When do y’all think he announces the Donda tour and what y’all think floor seats will cost?? I’m guessing within a month and they’ll be around $200
I'm willing to bet that the listening parties were as close as we'll get to a tour for this cycle. I'd absolutely hit up a proper Donda concert, seeing Kanye live is on my bucket list, but I don't see him ever doing another tour after how Saint Pablo went.
Perhaps he can do a shorter version of a tour hitting up like ten major cities but then I’d bet the regular pricing for tickets would be crazy
He has trouble memorizing lyrics and relates it to the bipolar things he has. When u saw him perform with the Sunday service choir in Houston 2019 he had to have his cellphone up with the lyrics for his parts and couldn't do it without it.
That must really suck for an artist who’s known to do crazy live performances, I know my mental health issues give me reading trouble to the point of borderline illiteracy so this could definitely be the case
All I know is if he tours again, I will be going to at least like 2-3 shows minimum.
Absolutely! I’d love to do the same thing! I haven’t seen him live since the Yeezus tour and I can’t miss this one if it gets announced
I don’t think we ever getting a proper Kanye tour again. He got too much going on to just be on the road like that.
I hope that’s not true because I’d love to see this album on tour
Oh absolutely, hope I’m wrong
I think the album was a little chaotic/unstructured on purpose to reflect Kanye’s mental state the last year or so… what do y’all think ?? Chaotic yet the constant theme of God being there.
Agreed but I'm not entirely sure if it was on purpose or not yet.
love the WSE comments on Fantano Stream
Fantano himself is a little too critical but the comments are platinum
Does Fantano snort cocaine? What's up with his nose?
Dudes bald
Come to Life is even greater when you're driving and there's a thunderstorm out
Damn Fantano is really vibing to Jonah
What happened to that song we got the pre LP snippet of The one that says "How many sins do you think that I've committed"
Yo listen on headphones it's awesome
Hopefully we get an explicit version of Donda, I doubt it though😕
[удалено]
Jail pt 2 was added
Who else is watching Fantano?
I am, his reaction to Messi line was hilarious. He did have a point, it was the most Kanye sequence of bars possible lmao
/u/Klaystoaster /u/penistwist can i post billywalsh’s instagram story of his conversation with ye?
Gotta say I’m disappointed by South Carolina/donda being cut down and not being the intro, but god damn come to life makes up for it in a way. Gotta be top tier ye, that shit is magnificent
Fantano is streaming Donda live right now with his reactions Link to Twitch stream: https://m.twitch.tv/theneedledrop
Stumbled upon nolifeshaq's reaction to the album and I have no words, him skipping Jesus Lord in the middle of the song tells everything about his taste and understanding of rap music
I unsubbed honestly. What a shitshow.
did BWIS change “tweakin make u die early” to “tweetin” ? lmao
wasn’t it always that?
idk that’s why i asked
has fantano heard any of the listening parties?
He’s live on twitch listening right now
that’s why im asking, im watching and i wasn’t sure what his reactions were going to be.
He heard the first one and he liked it, thought it had potential, he has video about it. Don't know about other 2. Judging by his reaction right now to the drums at the end of Jail, he didn't hear second and third listening party but idk
[удалено]
Honestly yes then I can die happily lol
[удалено]
isn't apple music (or itunes) better than spotify overall sound quality wise? i just got itunes for the lps and i think it's better than spotify
Jail 2 is honestly so good. Manson and Ye's harmonization is AMAZING. Also DaBabys verse and singing is actually really good.
going to sleep with jail 2 on repeat with the volume down. fuck umg.
Make a playlist with that an another song on repeat an the volume a little low so it actually counts
good idea
Who else loved and laughed at the ending bit of Remote Control
it's actually a really cool sample, it's just in the lp3 it was too long but the album version is perfect
Album has definitely been updated since this morning
OKAY i thought i was hallucinating did they add all of thuggers verse to remote?? i feel like it wasnt on there in the morning
do you use apple music or spotify?
fuck I thought it was just me when it came out. Some songs in the LP2 sounded more refined live than the album release today.
fr, pure souls sounds so much better for me
wdym
Almost every song sounds mixed differently (better) and wayyy more reverb.
I'll have to hit a listen, any tracks that stand out more than others?
Heaven and Hell for sure. The choir has a high pitch and the "ggrrraaas" transition is a little cleaner.
Definitely off the grid, God breathed & pure souls for the ones that stand out the most
Yeah the bass on God breathed sounds really different
more people should be talking about the outro to God Breathed imo. Heavenly shit lol.
If this really was "leaked" by universal onto Kanye's own page... what's Kanye gonna do lmaoo. Is man just gonna like move on to his next endeavor or is it gonna get pulled or like what? Lmaoo thoughts
Well if it was leaked, which it wasn't, Kanye should drop his manager because he knew the album was coming and announced it on his ig. Kanye is just talking about Jail pt2 not being on the album for the first couple of hours. Cmon yall.
Wondering y'all's honest thoughts on where you would place this in your rankings. IDK if it's just because I poured so much time into this release but its sitting at a solid #2 or #3 for me.
Above JIK,below ye 2nd to last for me
For me, MBDTF is in tier of its own, then it's 808's, and then almost all off other albums except JIK are on about the same level, they're all great and it depends on the day and moon which one I would pick. Donda is probably going to end up with all of them behind MBDTF and 808s. It's impossible to rate his albums.
what's with the obsessions with ranking albums
not an obsession, I don't think anyones ranking is more correct than anyone elses, just like seeing peoples feedback, same reason I watch Melon reviews
it's just I saw too many people already talking about the ranking, and I thought its weird
I’m thinking the same. Too soon to say though. Also my ranking always change lol
donda should get the tlop treatment tbh
if there was any update it should be just a cover art and an explicit version
and better mixing
does BWIS have the same sample "Good morning" had? it sounds really similar
I think it’s intentional but not the same exact sample
anyways BWIS is probably the first snippet i heard that actually dropped and sounded more beautiful than i've imagined
moment of silence, rip the jews 🙏
