They'll Laugh Now Cry Later

How can a person taste be trusted if they prepared to put that as their avy

Been a fan since 2004, and I love this album. I’m a hard defender of college dropout and LR, but this one is amazing, productions are clean, Ye rapping like in the old days, featured artists are well used. Album is really cohesive.
You cannot tell he fell off, it’s just that you don’t like it, but the album is objectively great in most aspects

A fellow former KanyeTalk junky....those were the good ol days. I remember the exact moment Graduation leaked, where I was, what I was doing, etc....then it became KLive, blah blah blah, and here we are today. Good to see some OG's still standing.

I'm about three listens through on Donda, and here's where I'm at:

"Inside every big book, there's a small book crying to get out." This album could have been phenomenal, but there's too much filler. I've got about seven tracks that I really really love, and a few more that I love a little less, but I still f*** with. There are others that would be great if they'd just been trimmed down a little more succinctly. I hate to say it, but 'Ye could've used Rick Rubin on this one. Guess we'll see if he takes the Pablo approach and changes tracks over time.

There are a lot of words I'd use to describe the album, but "cohesive" isn't one of them. It's all over the place. Still love it though.

Yeah but why you comparing to 2010, do you compare yourself to who you were in 2010? Like the album is 2 hours long, it’s meant to be cinematic as s***, let him do a 3 minute blade runner outro. S*** is gorgeous, not every song needs 3 verses a refrain and a hook goddamn

To your point about the trimming, I honestly feel like the biggest non-musical flaw is the sequencing. If he broke it into two or three "discs" to illustrate the shared themes (there's a clear Heaven and Hell divide that I wish he went with imo) it would be much more digestible and possibly understandable.

yeah this is a troll

NCLB is in your top 2

How can you like hurricane and nclb but not like the rest I really don't understand

Agree

It’s better than donda. Ye, Jesus is king

But whats your opinion

Your likes
Your dislikes
What you would have rather seen

It just sounds forced . Kanye never used to sound forced . It’s been awhile since I’ve heard a Kanye album that didn’t sound forced.

I'm a Drake stan and Donda is solid. Wish it was shorter.

you can say that album lacks a lot of things but I don’t think creativity is one

An album with Off The Grid could never be garbage. OP's argument destroyed.

Off the grid isn’t that great. Man this is what I use to sound like as a Kanye Stan Jesus

It’s forced creativity . 🤷🏽‍♂️

Excellent bait

Anyone calling this album weak is a f***ing hater lol

not garbage but it's def not better than any of his first 6 or even TLOP tbh

Hey @op
