Blac Chyna f***in Rob though he overweight
I wish a trainer would tell me wut I over ate
Highlights is up there with my favorite Ye songs tbh I love the energy so much definitely my favorite to rap along to.
This should have been the final Kanye West album btw.
We would’ve never gotten Donda AKA his best album since MBDTF
When Rocky and Tyler made a classic out of Freestyle 4 I was playing tf out of that at 14
tyler really lusted after the laferrari for close to 10 years man, glad he finally got one
This should have been the final Kanye West album btw.
Nah.
The Wyoming sessions, Donda, and even V1 were cool additions to his catalog.
JIK, Donda 2, and Vultures 2 are the only real stains that I wish for non-canon.
We would’ve never gotten Donda AKA his best album since MBDTF
That's a stretch lol. At best, I'd say Donda can go toe to toe with TLOP musically but not any album before it.
Donda era has gotten very underrated on here due to the f***ery after it. Compared to 2016, there was less social media antics like "COSBY INNOCENT", less album/song delays, no rants in live shows, no hospitalization and endorsing Trump afterwards, etc.
The Donda vs CLB era revitalized this whole forum and Donda had celebrities calling it AOTY on social media and was nominated for an actual AOTY Grammy.
I'll always say that Donda's worst crime was being sandwiched in between the worst eras of Kanye(2019-2020 and 2022-2025). And it gets unfairly lumped in with them.
One of the most exciting album rollouts of all time. One of my best friends right now is somebody I met during this rollout just being excited for it
this is more so about Yeezy in general, but it’s crazy how dismissive fashion critics were of season 1 and the sequential seasons, and yet it STILL continues to have an influence across the board till this day
I got a very random casting call that said something about a kanye west fashion show, TOMORROW. Said yes immediately..
I report to MSG at like 10pm and sure enough a bunch of black ppl in are getting filed into the arena. We’re just floating through a bunch of rooms in MSG for a while. Some ppl get sent home, I get pulled in. They take measurements and then they just send us to the 100 level to chill for a few hours, dk why. Think we had some snacks and s***. But sitting in MSG at like midnight, basically all the power off -- was some special s*** by itself.
Eventually music starts playing, unfamiliar tracks but definitely Kanye -- all of us eventually deduce it’s the f***ing album. A few mins later we see someone in the seats on the other side of the arena dancing crazy. Then he makes his way, through the seats, over to us and as he gets closer we realize it’s f***ing HIM. I’ll never forget this image… he just jumps into the mob of ppl and dances with us for a few minutes. Then leaves. We get sent home after.
Have to report back to MSG early next morning. They bussed us out to Jersey to a giant warehouse with mountains of generic yeezy-esque clothes. Everyone gets styled and sent back to the bus. My fit was f***ing crazy. I wanted to steal it. Then, costumed up, we get driven back to MSG.
They load us directly onto the MSG floor where we are told to just chill. Our only instructions are basically, when the show begins, we have to remain as still as possible through the entirety of the album. Like statues. I wasn’t on the stage thing but I was in the crowd on the ground.
They cover us in the sheet before any of the audience gets let in. Literally just siting there under a sheet for hours. But we start to hear ppl and s***. Ultralight Beam starts and the sheet gets pulled to reveal all of us as the song ends. it’s the first time we see we are completely surrounded by screaming people. Insane energy. People are losing their minds at this point.
The concert/listening party is crazy. I'm right by Kim and s***. Bunch of celebs front row just staring at us lol.
No one wants to stand still for the entire s*** so eventually ppl sit, lean, etc. A rogue group ended up rushing the stage thing in the center. Def wasn’t supposed to happen but production ran with it. I wanted to join in but it was too far.
I’m in the video in OP somewhere I gotta find it again. Truly one of the most wild, random, only in NYC days of my life.
This is a mesmerizing read, this s*** reads like I was right there with you. Such vivid detail. Really appreciate you typing all this, it’s clear how much it meant to you cause the level of detail is insane you’d think it just happened yesterday. GOAT s***.
I was one of the models in the show
Incredible 36 hour experience ...
Got to listen to Pablo with 100ish other models and Ye the night before the show ... Just us in a completely empty MSG at like 2am.
LGND

thanks for sharing this story man. Cool to see how spur of the moment of it was. Glad you got to experience it
This album really was the decline of his "perfectionism" but there are so many joyful moments around it. This show, the clothes, the note book with everyone's signatures. I think it is a really fun album to listen too
so grateful I got to see him in Toronto, the stage and everything was something I will never see again
Hope I get to see him one more time before it's all said and done
Kanye forever my favorite artist of all mfkin time. Every other artist are still on earth Ye is a martian
Iconic
Walking into MSG and hearing them sound testing Feedback (which at the time we only knew as A Long Time) was a crazy surreal experience.
Incredible day.
10 f***ing years.
I still remember you posting “THEY’RE PLAYING FEEDBACK” before the site crashed for 12 hours
