    4 44 the benchmark on late career albums. Yet yeah the mixing is kinda garbage lmao.

    Agreed I love 4:44 but the mix man! Hahaha. That s*** will pass for that kinda album where Hov is rapping over record loops but on this kinda album, mix is going to be very important.

    ok

    why do you think people need to be close friends to make music together? I get sometimes it helps but its definitely not a necessity to make quality music

    It’s not as bad as a Nasir tho

    At least I can hear everything.

    Will admit it is a little overpowering but readable still

    i did not get this impression at all

    Guitar on Moon, Jail, and Family
    Synths on Remote, New Again

    The mix throughout is very Mike Dean

    i don't think that

    i was just pointing out that like half of the donda features are guys kanye barely knows at all, he has minimal connections with them and the only reason to put them on the album is because they are popular w the youth rn. feels like he's putting popularity and what he likes in modern rap over what would actually sound good on an album of organ beats.

    sigh

    Yeah no s***, son. Your "God" sure has been good to you while countless people die of starvation, or at war, you name it.
    Even though I'm very firmly a non-believer, I don't mind some religious music. Aretha Franklin for example made some bangin' worship tunes. I'm even a fan of "Jesus Walks" off of Kanye's first record.

    But I sure as hell won't listen to a f***ing billionaire preaching to me about miracles. F*** you. I'm not f***ing having it. This is so depraved and disingenuous. I'd rather put on The College Dropout or MBDTF again. F*** this

    is this from r/wse?

    The reason this news is so bad is because Mike is literally ALL over Donda , the album as we know it today. His synths, guitars, production credits...he's on damn near the whole album if not every track

    crazy how mike dean's guitar and synth work is easily the best part of the album

    Bruh he had to live with Kanye West for most of the past 3 weeks in a stadium locker room

    even during the second party Ye called Dean twice during 2 songs to yell at him for the mixing

    if he wanted to avoid getting yelled at he should have done a better job mixing the tracks

    Even without seeing the credits, He is a massive, irreplacable part of the Donda project as we know it

    Havent heard Nasir in a looong time. 3/5 of the Wyoming albums sounded like they were cooked in the time span of a month. I dont mind the mixing either that much. You can only tell when you listen with headphones or in a really quiet setting.

    Fr. Hoping they can get their s*** together so we can get some awesome music. This is like 40 and Drake, Tumay and Thug or Hov and Guru taking different paths.

    Not true
    Mike Dean didn't show up until the week of the first listening party, album existed without him albeit obviously more unfinished
