Ye wants to make rap that is popular right now, hence the durk and lil baby and westside gunn features

I'm sure he likes them and they are probably some of his favorite modern rappers, but that's not saying much considering the fact that he doesn't even listen to modern rap

my theory is, he only knows about these guys by chance, like he happened to hear about them from other people or encountered them online.

F***ing s***

i think about this often lol

a lot of artists are hilariously insecure past the point where it makes sense.

Wouldn't say he's done with Kanye

More of just this particular rollout

Does seem chaotic and toxic

Ye called that nigga mid performance screaming at him at the mixing of Heaven and Hell

Kanye doing shrooms during dropout era is the biggest revelation of the night

NIGGA WHAT LMAO

Lmaoooo

Mike Dean, Ye, and the team probably are all burnt out in their own way. There’s a difference of recording in Hawaii for months with a long term plan and recording in the basement of MBS in Atlanta for a month straight and sleeping in the equivalent of a dorm room after missing two straight deadlines and intense pressure to finish the album while also changing it.

this makes so much sense as to why Syd was the only feature on the album lol

Yea without Mike this album is probably gonna go off the rails, RIP to an album that could’ve been a classic

I understand that but like couldn't he have picked another person to listen to instead?

timestamp?

16:05

Yep. Meanwhile you gotta millions of people breathing down your neck because you announced the release date prematurely

I’d imagine it’s a s***show in that environment right now

I genuinely don’t understand why Kanye does this to himself. He probably can’t help it and I understand slightly because I’m a spontaneous and unorganized person but damn you got a whole team of people with you too. I ain’t just you to think about lol.

Of course idk what’s going on behind the scenes but

Tyler has eclectic taste and he knows good music when he hears it, Uzi could benefit from his ear but he should’ve also trusted his own way more, to the point that he only would’ve changed a few things due to Tyler’s criticisms

never thought abt that but that makes a lot of sense lol

His stans scare me lol

What a mess.

tyler has to be up there with being the worst executive producers in hip hop then. that has to be one of the main reasons why no one wants to let him produce an album for them

This hurts not gonna lie

Damn Mike's been with him for how long? s*** sad to see - wonder what broke him after all these years

Hopefully it’s just a donda thing and not a permanent thing

I’m sure they’ll apologize and make up in the future but we’ll see

"FUCK THIS"
he was really was fed up
