You were more hyped for an album he barely worked a month on with an unfinished demo vs an album he spent nearly a year on with a single and a finished snippet

This. Idk why ppl itt think it’s cool to act like there was no hope for DONDA when there were multiple (brief) moments when it seemed legit (west day ever, wuitb, tracklists, twitter snippet, etc)

The things Ye has us doing lmfao

Because he decided to make a movie 2 days before the album was supposed to drop

definitely not lmao 2018 was absolute hell

yeah at this point every ye release is just a tradition of coming in this forum and freaking out when ye says an albums coming and then the inevitable pain that comes with when it doesnt

TLOP was by far the worst, don't even compare this. At this point, no one should have been expecting this album to release when Kanye announced it and no one should expect it for months

Waves 10/10

Yandhi and the 8-9 month dry period before coachella and JIK. Kanye sub was like an abandoned town in a western movie from like January - April 2019

Donda’s been rough but Kanye’s not scrapping an album with an accompanying movie and tons of heat according to everyone who’s worked on it

yandhi

Ain't even been that painful really

ooof reading some of these pages hurt man.

thank god tlop..shit maybe even yeezus.... (his last great album) was the last one that I stayed up for and followed from the beginning.

I find I enjoy them a little more if I completely ignore him and his tweets and rollout and just listen when its out

The confusing thing for me is what he would actually gain from doing these announcements and then disappearing.

Is he just acting on impulse with a genuine intention to try and release it on the date, even tho the reality is that it would be impossible to achieve?

Or is he just doing and saying anything for any fleeting bit of hype he can get?

After all these years im not sure i even whats pain anymore

I think he thinks everything is ready, then he listens some songs again and realizes that this part could be actually better or this sound actually doesnt fit here or here he should change the drums, now he has 5 tracks he not sure about, now this means the whole album doesnt fit actually and maybe the last song should actually be the first song after all???

the biggest issue for me is the fact that ion even know whether this album will be great or not

i used to always be able to bet on ye to drop a masterpiece and shake the music world up. these days all i want is for him to rap on beat again

If you’re a 12 year old white girl then maybe

TLOP was the most painful, by far. Learned A LOT of lessons during that rollout mainly to never get my hopes up ever when it comes to Kanye but ofc still be excited every day for it

Yandhi era really was continual and never-ending pain

The "Ima wait" at Coachella during Jesus Walks right when he was seemingly supposed to announce, choir went quiet, cameras focused on Ye, and nothing
