Pleaseeeee go outside I’m begging you

he recorded and changed things at rick rubin's house

Interesting I don’t think Donda was rushed at all. Definitely was expanded, but I think people hearing the album change live gives the wrong impression it was rushed. Really the whole heart of the record is done by ATL LP1 and then it just gets refined from there imo and songs fleshed out.

Also a lot of the songs that were “new” were slated to be performed at ATL LP1 but Ye cut it short.

Oh word, makes sense

He basically changed the whole album with Rick Rubin lmao

9 songs out of 10 of top 100

Do you even like the music or just that it’s on billboard?

most of the 2020 songs were completely reworked and barely resembled their old versions.

2020 praise god was similar to this.

2020 24 like this

2020 gbot

2020 ttv

2020 off the grid

all basically different songs

He had 2 public beta listenings before releasing the final product, seems like he took his time with it

you literally have 10 times the amount of posts that I do, so take your own advice kid

He rushed to drop before Drake. He thought Donda would last more than 3 days and ruin CLB release... but he was wrong.

Damn

We have any idea what it was like pre-Rick? I’m assuming Rick is the reason why it was only 13 tracks

Paul got 3 top 40 (including a top 5) singles out of it so its kinda a different scenario. Also got to perform at the Grammys and have full on solo sessions with Ye. Kanye made it sound like them doing an album was shot down by a higher up but at Paul was happy about the experience

Todd was just a part of the ensemble and backed out probably even before the 1st listening party

bound 2 was different (bound 1 with tyler)

Yeah, some people probably think that feat with them would be a special moment on the album, but Kanye has so many people on his records that I see how it can be frustrating.

You are literally taking Drake’s achievements and flaunting them as your own

Posted from my job btw

So this s*** was unfinished and still better? Tf

Can you advice his best albums?

"After West played him a rough cut of the album that Rubin thought was due out next year, the producer spent two hectic weeks helping West shape the album to meet a deadline that was a mere five weeks away. “We ended up working probably 15 days, 16 days, long hours, no days off, 15 hours a day. I was panicked the whole time,” Rubin said.

The rough cut ran nearly three and a half hours, Rubin said, and West had initially intended Yeezus to have 16 songs. Rubin suggested trimming. “That first day, before he even asked me to work on it, I said, ‘Maybe you should make it more concise. Maybe this is two albums. Maybe this is just the first half,'” Rubin said. “That was one of the first breakthroughs. Kanye was like, ‘That’s what I came here today to hear! It could be 10 songs!'”

That's the process of music man

We not supposed to hear leaks

very curious to see how Todd Rundgren's contributions played out in the process he is a studio wizard after all much like Kanye and Prince

Didn’t Kanye complain the label dropped it early without his consent, he wanted to drop same day as Drake

Oh wow, thank you for this

“And in the end, Drake ate his lunch anyway.”

Todd wasn't around for even the first Atlanta party it seems so he likely had no idea how the album progressed in its final month. It says he doesn't even know for sure if his stuff is on the album so who knows if he even fully heard it either
