Name an album this year besides CMYIGL that’s honestly better than Donda.

Idk why you guys are denying that this record is bad or say it’s not on par with his previous work. Lyrically and sonically it’s his best effort since WTT.

The only skip are Tell The Vision and Donda (interlude).
Miles better than TLOP, Ye, and JIK.

It’s not as good as Kanye fans think it is.

Why do yall act like your ears are everyone's ears? You lovee Donda this much bro, alot of ppl didn't. It's cool.

It's bloated as f***. Kanyes performances were subpar and it has way too many features.

Donda isn't in my Top 10 this year and that's not because I hate Ye. I just didn't like the albun that much. I like 7 songs

I like many albums more than donda and Kanye is my 3rd favorite all time artist.

I think there are a lot of moments on there that most artists can’t pull off

And he did it on one album, as usual

I live Ye. He will always pull of moments artist won't but that doesn't make Donda better than 99 percent of rap. That's asinine to say

What performances were subpar? What’s wrong with too many features? lol Dark Fantasy and TLOP had the same s***.

It’s asinine to think more than 1% of the rap game can do Ye does

Only nigga above him at this point is Kendrick 🤷🏾‍♂️

Kanyes rapping on the album was subpar. My favorite moments were the guest eatures and as I said I loved 7 songs.

I could've removed Ye from moon and it would be just as great. He is a guest on many of those songs.

Jesus is King isn't better than 99 percent of rap bro stop it

safe to say his money and power burdens the creative process more than it helps. he can endlessly tweak the record to his hearts content bc it’s kanye. it’’a sadly clear that streaming numbers, audience réception, insecurity, and his own manic depressive ass all played apart in the music we got and how it was presented to us and re-presented through deluxe versions and track list changing

there’s some cool concepts here. at its greatest, the stadium stay recording process wears itself proudly on songs like jail, hurricane, come to life

but at its weakest you can def tell this is another high budget last minute kanye production. not to sound corny but from producer testimonies, the ATL livestream, and knowing kanye, it’s safe to say he’s been producing this record and his last few more like a business than an actual organic creative environment

hence, there’s great MOMENTS on this record, but it never fails to come together to create something meaningful.

i’m sure there’s politics as to why it’s not being praised to high heaven by major media publications. but whatever he knows it or not, i think some media publications would take the risk in praising it, if it actually meant something. but it’s obvious that his manson and dababy guest appearance is solely for the sake of shock, and show’s ye isn’t really interested in making this a serious album about feelings of grief, loss, life after death, etc

and maybe that’s okay, you don’t have to make it deadly serious to portray the nuance of grief. but honestly it feels like he’s not interested in portraying much of anything as much as he’s interested in competing with drake

When Kanye retires, critics will come crawling back to call Donda a misunderstood work of sprawling, emotionally vulnerable genius. Whether you like the album or not, that's exactly what's going to happen.
