Can I just confirm rq cus I see everyone hating this song

This song is from the perspective of pop smoke in heaven right?
He made it (to heaven)?

Is this not a genius lil sample flip & fire interlude in memoriam of pop or no please lmk cus I’m a lil lost

Copium levels high

It’s just a piano bop

are you asking us if pop smoke is in heaven

No I’m just asking cus I feel like the response to that track is weirdly averse given it’s concept

makes sense in the context of the whole album, it sticks out so hard that it does have to have a meaning like that

like i guess my question really is - is this a reach? i thought this at the first listening party but the reception is still so negative i dunno song makes perfect sense to me & seems kinda obvious i just wonder whether people that hate it just think its like a throwaway hook or something

is just a tribute

so U think it's a reach that the perspective is flipped givem the context of the album?

I don’t think it’s a reach but I also never understood the hate for this track. We made it was supposed to be a Ye song and he decided to use it anyways. I like your take.

I think kanye just put it on cause he liked it and sort of as a tribute. Maybe on relisten it might click for me, but it just seems like a interlude/throwaway track. Dont really think ye put it on the album with that intention but who knows

lmfaoooo

Maybe I’m high but I think the point of the song is that pop is so great all he needs is a sparse piano instrumental and he can still hype you tf up

I'm fine with it being included now that the album sounds finished

Ye's discography will be played for decades, he's a legend he's a superstar he's an icon, and it's like he took a moment on his album to do his part in immortalizing Pop within his body of work

over hated from the jump imo

was pretty much just meant to be a pop smoke interlude and hearing him over just the piano will grow on everybody

it'll be a great transition between songs at live performances

Honestly brilliant insight bro. People gonna say you’re reaching but I love this thought.

but why is noone talking about the perspective flip?

that takes it from a kinda lukewarm tribute, to a stroke of genius imo

thank you bro, would love to hear someone involved actually speak on this cus im kinda bugging out on whether this is just a coincidence lol

Cursed

and that’s fine but blaccmass literally ripped the vocals from spleeter?

Can I just confirm real quick that this album hasn’t released yet and people are shooting in their pants over a low quality audio rip?

if loving music is a crime just bury me under the jail bro lol my jeans are full tonight

After all these years of Kanye’s antics, it still surprises me how worked up everyone here gets before the album drops as if it won’t change 900 times.

ok so what

This one and the track where “donda” is just repeated can honestly just be taken off
