it's fascinating to track his mental degradation over time using his controversies as a pin point

he cared more about protecting his legacy after embarrassing some girl on stage than calling for the death of Jews

You skipped Bush Doesn't Care About Black People era

Well his both his mental and potential have degraded over time so I wouldn't expected him to release a good song after a controversy at this point

To be fair, Ye has quite a few mid loosies: XYCY, Ye. Vs. The People, Lift Yourself, Nah Nah Nah, etc.

I remember niggas claimed Donda would be a miss cause of Nah Nah Nah and Wash Us not taking off like that.

You just never know. We'll have to wait and see if he's gonna drop the ball or surprise people.

I think he could but he'd need a great writer on his side and to have an executive producer help him pinpoint a concept.

But, on his own, Ye's basically a huge gamble due to his mental state and lack of ambition.

Wow his 4 best songs

What a career Ye has had. Will always respect him for his music, the many funny and good memories and the impact he has had on the culture but at this point I think he should consider retiring.. He still got it in him when he wants to - or is able to - focus on his craft, like we saw with 50-60% of Donda.
But most of the times it seems like he is pissing about and doesnt even care about what he is putting out...

Even his loosie Champions was met with mixed reception when it first came out.

I remember niggas on the old KTT calling it mid and saying that Ye was losing his touch.

Like I said, you never know with Ye.

People were ready to call it a wrap when JIK dropped and when Ye spent more time trying to run for President than work on Donda but Donda ended up being a solid album.

Song actually slaps after third listen

I was wrong

All of them besides the Nazi one are hard

F*** man KANYE COME BACK

APOLOGIZE AND TAKE YOUR LUMPS LIKE THE DUMBASS YOU ARE

BUT COME BACK

Nah Nah Nah is unironically one of Ye's best loosies

Everyone been counting him out since day 1

Grad hate
808s hate
Mbdtf hate
Wtt hate
Yeezus hate
Tlop hate
Ye hate (I was in this one)
Jik hate
Donda hate

Donda 2 hate (deserved)

This new song is way better than Nah Nah Nah and Lift Yourself was purely a Drake troll with poop lyrics. If anything, it’s an upswing from the other two, not a degradation.

As for Power, there isn’t a single song fw in 95% of artists catalogues so that isn’t really a fair standard to hold.

i’m still goin to bat for xtcy

It's not.

One of the best demos ever

Lotta gems

A hiatus would probably do him wonders.

He can work on his PR and mental health, try to reconcile certain relationships, have an executive producer, have people miss him, and find passion before dropping a new album.

I'd rather he do that then randomly drop a rushed album full of pseudo-demo songs and mid lyrics.

Only mid loosie on there is ye vs the ppl

Very depressing to see the longer he goes on without help the more and more his creativity goes down with it. I can't imagine how little effort will be put into the future comebacks if the last 3 are anything to go by

Donda 2, to me, is just a scam and not even an album lol.

Nigga pulled a bait and switch dropping 2 legit singles(COG and Eazy) when most of the tape is unfinished demos.

Donda is still his last true solo album imho. Even Wiki labeled D2 a demo tape lol.

Jay didn’t even want him to rap at first. He stood up to Chicago niggas who tried to shake him down for a piece of his publishing

Ye been counted out and done wrong at every level
