Normal people don’t separate the art from the artist bro especially in the internet era

If the majority of people hates who you are as a person all of your art will be viewed through that lens

Same reason they rail Drake albums post IYRTITL

I don’t think the public hates Drake but I think they find him predictable and cheesy even when he’s not so everything he does is viewed through that lens. Perception is 100% reality

It used to be different 15-20 years ago

Gen X and Early Millennial Critics were more objective and Kanye could get away with being hated and having the most acclaimed music

Now soft white washed late Millennial and Gen Z critics are taking over and they all seem to be heavily biased

outside of that one year Drake lost to Chance, rap albums nominated for AOTY usually win RAOTY automatically

Tyler is a good choice but not a safe bet. I could still see it going Tyler's way for sure but Kanye is just as strong if not stronger of a contender

i don't get the idea he's some Grammy darling just yet. He only has a few career noms and won once on the year and category he was the clear favorite

I don't really like that last update to the tracklist.

That's just the New York Post so not even a big deal no one is taking that list seriously and not having it in top 10 isn't biased. If Donda was in everyone's top 10 that would be even more suspicious that they favor Ye. This is such a small thing its not even a issue

I thought publications and critics didn't matter tho?

Because it was mid

They want publications to drop on their knees and praise it as the next MBDTF to validate their listening experience

maga ye

He went against the powers that be

I haven't listened DONDA in full since the stadium drops but, I see nothing wrong with this post lmao.

It's a good album! Doesn't take multiple spins to acknowledge it

u can drop some links

Needs explicit release

That's your opinion but the majority just doesn't agree. That doesn't matter who likes it other than yourself you put too much emphasis on what these c***publications think

Didn’t really stick with me outside Believe What I Say and Remote Control

fam cut it to 10 and threw some of the worst tracks on there Junya and Ok Ok?

I like those songs

yeah this is why i dont take some of yall seriously

OP im'a keep it real as far as all the lists go. these publications listen to and really indulge in way more albums than you and I. ye is no longer making it into their top bracket, ah well. so aren't a lot of artists

Lmao just my opinion broskii
These the songs I replayed

bro kept donda chant and globaglobglob but cut come to life and 24

I like those too. I went off top

Jail had a Grammy nomination

Idk that Manson/DaBaby is a problem

Album good but way too long

someone on here called it the biggest moment in hip hop in the past 5 years
