I’m not complaining by any means I think it gives artists in the future to follow the same pattern.

But it seems like there isn’t a consistent theme or message on some of the songs... such as Lil Baby on Hurricane in comparison to what Kanye and The Weeknd are saying

I suppose that’s what happens with trap/drill music features though

its cause lil baby is just not good at rapping

I was just thinking about this and how I feel like this album has no replayability in it’s current state

Honestly, I think that's why Ye hasn't released it yet.

Obviously a lot of great material, but that's mostly from the very valuable features.

Why does each song need that?

No, its another album about god and being saved

This has potential to be top 3 ye album

He prolly heard it for the first time all the way through at the listening party

Then was like nawww

How doesnt the lil baby verse fit? I thought it fit quite well

It's cause Kanye wants Lil Baby's revelancy to carry on his project.

The album is not out yet

All lyrics are on geniusdotcom?
Thought they were a mix of JIK and perhaps some Yeezusisms (ego trips)
Malik pen not hitting as before tbh

I feel like most Kanye albums have loose themes that are usually defined by the more personal songs

f*** no lol

let me start by saying kanye is one of the goats and i f***in LOVE donda

but i kind of agree with you OP, and i think kanye is hiding the lack of theme / subject matter behind the same overall idea he's used for TLOP, the dichotomy between wanting to follow god and being the man he is.

to an extent, I think MBDTF is similar to that same theme, highlighting the excesses and pitfalls of the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and ye is similar in that its examining the ups and down of being bipolar.

in that way, it seems like many of his recent full length projects were about exploring those juxtapositions and so the themes kind of run together.

with that said, we've seen kanye do concept albums throughout his career (808s, yeezus, jik) and i dont think he cares enough about music to dedicate the amount of time / perfectionism a project that like requires rn

donda works BECAUSE of the lack of central theme imo, it allows kanye to explore all of his musical styles, which is why we get don toliver + kid cudi crooning about making it to the moon less than 10m before hearing fivio foreign rap his ass off for like 3m straight

im also real high rn so pardon the paragraphs

Tbh this is why the album should be named God's Country and not Donda

Album's subject matter has to do more with God than with Donda

Yandhi leaks also felt this way to me.

It's typical and easy to immediately hate. I've been playing it everyday, its pretty damn good so far

not really it feels like he using god to finally properly grieve his mother’s death. there’s a few songs that are slaps but generally it’s a very emotional album and definitely an update about him.
