Kanye has just become the crazy cousin that you used to love hanging out with when you were young, and you still have love for him, but you just don’t hang around anymore because he lost his mind and might stab you in your sleep

This is probably the only time I’ll ever say this in the history of existence, but DaBaby’s verse was better than Jay Z’s.

I enjoy Yeezus and TLOP, and Ye, and Kids See Ghosts.

Even Donda had a few great tracks

He is really all over the place. Feel bad for the dude. I wonder what exactly happened that got him so f----- up its not only the passing of his mother. He wasn’t as disjointed back then when she died like now.

It’s just wild how he got to be like this. I want to go to the dimension where he didn’t lose his mind and see what s--- he put out.

This is kinda why I didn’t bother checking out Donda 2 as well. True Love with the X feature was nice though, but only because of X lol. Don’t like the “no hard feelings cuz these feelings harder” part repeating over and over again

Kanye West’sDonda was a star-studded affair, but at one point during the making of the album, he threatened to remove several artists from the project — including JAY-Z.

On Wednesday (June 7) a mini documentary on the making of Dondaleaked online, with the five-minute film offering a behind-the-scenes look at Kanye’s unorthodox creative process — which involved turning Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium into a makeshift recording studio — and somewhat turbulent emotional state.

Featuring never-before-seen footage, the documentary shows Ye reflecting on his late mother, Donda West, while visiting his childhood home in Chicago, tinkering with various songs in the studio, delivering impassioned speeches and prayers to his team, and linking with Pusha T, Playboi Carti, Fivio Foreign, Rick Rubin and Mike Dean, among others.

One particularly noteworthy scene captures the Chicago rap mogul on a phone call inside a locker room and threatening to take anybody’s verse off the album — including JAY-Z’s — who doesn’t attend one of his listening parties, which were held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Chicago’s Soldier Field.

Everybody that’s not here, I’m taking their verses off,” he says. “I’m taking JAY-Z verse, I’m taking — if there’s anybody not here on the porch with me, they’re not on this version.”

After hanging up, Kanye looks to the camera and adds with a laugh: “How do you even describe these kind of conversations, bro?”

JAY-Z’s verse on “Jail” was in tact when Donda finally hit streaming services in August 2021, marking the Watch the Throne duo’s first collaboration in five years following Drake’s 2016 song “Pop Style.”

After playing the JAY-Z version during his first two listening sessions, though, Ye replaced Hov with DaBaby on the track during his third and final show — a decision that not only disappointed many fans, but was criticized due to the North Carolina’s homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami weeks prior.

Pusha T and Kid Cudi — whose relationships with Kanye have soured in recent months — also saw their guest vocals (or entire collaborations) get cut as Kanye chopped and changed the album over the course of his three listening parties.

Soulja Boy and Chris Brown made no secret of their disappointment over being removed from Donda and took aim at the Yeezy founder on social media following the album’s release.
