Here we are 7 months later and Im still trying to understand the hate behind Jonah. Part of it I feel is the people jumping on the "Ye could have kept Jonah" bandwagon. Another part Im wondering is do people really feel the lyrics in the song and what they are talking about. I get it 99 percent of this forum hasn't lost a close friend/brother at a young age but man for me this song hits home. I mean the pain in the hook of feeling left behind to fend for yourself even in a situation where it wasn't your brothers choice. To knowing you'll always be there for the fam even after a tragedy. I could go on and on, but I just need to know what am I missing or getting that others aren't.

Hook sounds whiny lyrics are fine

Its inexplicable @op. Exploring the answer to this question involves sailing on streams of thought that will inevitably take us deep into the darkest whirlpools of the human psyche, plunging us into the depths of the reality of human condition.

That s*** slaps

Also ye verse was kinda weird and off topic imo

How can you hate this

I hear the whiny sounding hook thing all the type but thats what give the song its soul imo. I mean its a cry out to a dead homie asking why Im still hear to fend for myself in this world. For me it gives me that sense of being loss that makes me feel that losing a part of you.

Ill give you that he started off strong but then went off topic. But the beginning he definitely went in talking about how all that hate and s*** talking can end up in tragedy aka it get bloody like that.

I admittedly have demoitis when it comes to Jonah
I love the hook but I f***ing hate the beeps in the song and I can't get over them. I was at lp2 and that version didn't have beeps and I want that version

This i get. LP1 felt like there was something missing, LP2 was better and then I definitely got used to that version. I was at LP3 and the beeps threw me way off initially. Eventually the beeps grew on me but I definitely understand that. The gift and the curse of Donda LP era.

jonah is top 3 on donda

that s*** hit you in the soul. you must not have one if you hating

not hq, but here's lp2 version

new again deserves the slander tracks like jonah and remote control get. it's criminal how much ye butchered that song.

lp2 version with rerecorded ye verses and a new mix would be perfect, but he kept his struggle recorded on iphone in a room full of shards of glass ass vocals and removed chris brown.

Worst Byrde child

Real. As far as songs hitting me on Donda its Jonah, Pure Souls with Shenseea outro, and Come to Life are top tier. And thats no slander to Moon, Hurricane, Jesus Lord, and Lord I Need You. S*** forgetting about No Child Left Behind.

I agree 100 percent. New Again was getting better and then he just downgraded it. Jonah and Remote got better and better to me. Especially Remote. I loved the LP1 robocop style sound, was mad when it was removed, loved the complete verison, especially with chior at LP3. Then adding Cudi back on the deluxe was icing on the cake.

Vory voice annoys me on it

I like him on the other songs tho

Amazing song

Ye’s verse was not needed lol sounds very last minute

Song is cool but not all that compared to the greats.

I will die on the hill that Kanye has the worst verse of his career on this song. It's so awkward and terrible. Like a child writing a rap for a presentation at school. I love the rest of the song.

Beautiful song.

Hate the beeps, hook is so damn repetitive and none of the verses are really anything too crazy

Feels like a cheap stab at a rap caviar track

The song sounds much better without the beeps and drums but either way still a great song

i don’t agree but that description is hilarious and i can see it
