Iâve been trying really hard to understand takes like this about Donda. But itâs like talking to someone who only speaks a different language. Donda is such an awful album man
That vaccine got you boys trippin
Donda was such a better project than clb
I feel these donda stans only care experiments and if it sounds different than last album.
I just want good music that I can vibe too, f*** if itâs âexperimentalâ
I live in the present, drake will listen musics for years to come and adapt his style to whatever it is
CLB a classic
No ones mad, we eating
Trust
Just perplexed⊠we really accept this mediocrity from someone who gave us gems like look what youâve done on his sophomore
Just like we accept what Ye gave us when he dropped MBDTF in 2010
Both of em declined in a sense
Clb literally no originality
Sound like drake last 3 albums
Very forgettable album

Forgot how original DONDA was. So crazy to me this is the first christian/gospel themed hip hop album Ye has ever made.
Iâd put views above this but this is otherwise on par with views
lowkey disappointed with this album but I still enjoyed it. just not the classic I was hoping for

Donda really isnât that experimental at all either itâs just good.
Maybe the sequencing of the album is experimental but most of the songs arenât.

Mbdtf hate?
Anything else you say is invalidated

Itâs a fun song and itâs much better than RHB. One of those songs you spin at a function.

I see you misinterpreted my words
Let me clarify
Youâre saying Drakes best stuff was during Take Care
Iâm saying Yeâs best stuff was MBDTF, which is a classic
Donda is nowhere near MBDTF, not even close
Wait werenât you like HEAVILY hating last night??
Lol i know
Revisited Views, yeah itâs easily better than this and Iâve never really been a fan of that album

The thing is Kanye changed his sound multiple times, but he kept that sound consistent every album.
Drake has ALWAYS juggled multiple hats every single album. That ain't changing. And even this this sounds marketedly different than Scorpion/View/ML
Damn u really werenât feeling at first right?
Yea. Been happening like this since views
Certified Lover Boy review
1. Champagne Poetry: The career-best Drake intro, this sets the tone for the entire album. The haunting sample, the razor-sharp bars, the beat-switch. A perfect start to an amazing album.
2. Papi's Home: A solid, energetic song, it's the perfect track to follow after a nearly 6-minute intro. Another great use of a sample. The bounce. The flow. All seemingly effortless.
3. Girls Want Girls: The album's first weak offering, it does the job of carrying over that energy of Papi's Home but a better topic over better production could have this a more magical moment on the album. Lyrically, it's the first weak moment on the album for Drake. Lil Baby comes in later but with very little to work with, even he can't save this song. With that being said, this is still a fun listen and I'd let this play all the way through every single time it comes on.
4. In the Bible: Save for Lil Durk's excellent verse, this song is the first true dud of the album. Giveon adds nothing to the song and this felt like a filler track on the first listen and even more now.
5. Love All: As decent as Jay Z's verse on this is, this song did nothing for me and adds nothing to the album. An easy skip that drags the album down a good amount.
6. Fair Trade: A solid rebound from 3 straight unnecessary moments on the album, Drake returns to form here with a flow he's never used before. The hazy, dark production compliments Drake's flow, the beat switch and Travis Scott delivers one of his better rap performances as a featured artist. This has legitimate hit potential.
7. Way 2 Sexy: Another great collaborative record. This marks a breather from the serious tone embraced on the album so far. Future has the best performance on this, followed by Young Thug and then Drake. A solid listen, I could easily see this taking off.
8. TSU: The production on this immediately made me recall Pain 1993 from DLDT. A soundscape Drake feels at home in. Intro was unnecessary long and should have remained as short as it was when this leaked titled as Not Around. The laziest beat switch on the album, Drake closes out the track perfectly.
9. N 2 Deep: This track doesn't do anything for me until the beat switch where Future delivers another stellar verse. Strippers will eat this up.
10. Pipe Down: This felt like filler to me on the first listen and still feels like that. Does nothing for me and something I'd skip.
11. Yebba's Heartbreak: A solid reset, this is the only song to not feature Drake vocals. Drake exists stage left and leaves Yebba to herself and the result is the best vocal moment on the entire album. This also marks a tonal shift in the album, it's no wonder why it was placed mid-point on the album.
12. No Friends in the Industry: Drake's rawest rap performance on the Industry. This has the umph sorely lacking on Nonstop off Scorpion. Over a menacing beat, Drake goes into overdrive and doesn't slow down till the song is over. A very solid addition to the album.
13. Knife Talk: A clear fan-service effort, this sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. The first song on the album I didn't like at all, this feels like a throwaway from Savage Mode 2 and despite excellent performances from Project Pat and 21 Savage, this does nothing to elevate the album.
14. 7am On Bridle Path: One of the 3 major introspective moments on the album, this is the first time/place in Drake's famous series to be featured on an album. A bold reminder of Drake's prowess as a lyricist when he really wants to go in.
15. Race My Mind: Over a moody, dark beat, Drake croons and then laments about his romantic failings and shortcomings. Not a bad addition but far from great.
