Seriously? I loved AWT. Did it live up to the hype? Maybe not. But I thought it was decent

I was bored tbh. And Jay-Z felt kinda out of place.

Yoooo well written. Don’t necessarily agree with it all, but you made strong points.

what would your personal score be (assuming an editor made the official score for RS)? I agree the later portion of the album is the strongest.

thanks for talking about the actual music in the review.

Did you even read the article or just look at the score

Kanye stans on some serious copium rn

Bro you listen to Eminem you’d get made fun of in real life if you played that s---

Just went to KTT and WPG’s headshot was being posted because they didn’t like the score lmao

what the record is actually about. West’s mother, whom the record is named for? West’s relationship to God? Or West’s relationship with his uber-famous wife and their four children? By the end of it, it’s not clear if West himself even knows.

not gonna happen but if it did, it should be a trimmed and finished version of Donda, not more tracks lol

There’s no signature burst of horns, no deep-cut oldie sample—none of the inventiveness that makes West one of the best producers in the game. And it’s not because West doesn’t have it in him. He produced Teyana Taylor’s KTSE in 2018, just three years ago, and the resulting record is polished and sleek, with not one dead note in sight. Where’d that West go? Why does his own music have to be so cumbersome? Where’s the joy? Where’s the fun?

It’s sad that Kanye built all of this hype around a record that should have been his magnum opus. Instead, on display for everyone is his self-preoccupation, circular thinking, and disdain for anything resembling accountability. Perhaps if he hadn’t again spent so much time ginning up media hype surrounding the album, he could have taken his time to edit. And that’s the thing that’s missing most from this record, with all its myriad problems: No one edits West anymore, not even himself. And that’s a d--- shame.

If you think Donda should have been his magnum opus you’re crazy. No one should be expecting that at this stage of career

??? Irrelevant point. Listening to an artist isn't a crime. I listen to both of them about the same, probably Kanye moreso.

I don't stan. I gave MBTMB a 6-7/10 and Side B like a 4. Tell me if that's stanning to you.

I praise projects I genuinely enjoy I don't try to justify projects when they're not good.

 

Sep 1, 2021

I half-disagree. No one expected a magnum opus. But with all the time and money spent on this projects, and all of the industry connections he has, there was at least reason to expect this to be a decidedly good album instead of a lukewarm one.

Kanye had all the tools at his disposal to make a great project. The only things that held this project back were Kanye's ego, lack of focus and lack of self-awareness.

He had not made a good solo album since 2016. This was a step in the right direction

What a genius.
