This thread is a mess, Drake fans are keeping it real when it comes to Donda while Ye stans are trolling when it comes to CLB, there's no way y'all hate it like this. This ain't a competition, just enjoy both wtf.

Kanye is my favorite artist ever, and Drake is my second favorite rapper ever, so please don’t think my opinions of these albums are biased because I love both of these artists.

I’ve listened to Donda in full at least 6 times by now, and it’s honestly shaping up to be my favorite Kanye album, or at least in my top 3. I still think MBDTF is a 10 and a damn near flawless album, but Donda, even though it definitely is flawed, just has this quality about it that I love so much. It’s long, but I don’t find it to be bloated whatsoever, it feels like Kanye’s version of an epic three hour movie. There are a few tracks I would’ve cut off, and the sequencing is a little questionable in the middle of the record, but it’s nothing too distracting to take away from my overall enjoyment of the album. It’s very consistent sonically and thematically and it has a sound that’s very simple but very specific, and he doesn’t have another project that gives off a similar vibe to this. Kanye gave us some of the best rapping and singing we’ve gotten from him in years, and virtually every feature gave a highlight performance and made their mark. The best words I have to describe this album are: emotional, impactful, and epic.

CLB, on the other hand, I’ve listened to three times now, and while I know it’s still the first day of release, after my third listen it just sounds very lifeless, stagnant, and emotionally empty to me. I don’t really understand what he was going for with this project. I thought it would be hits because of the amount of tracks and big features, but there are barely any memorable hooks / catchy moments of songwriting. So then I thought it was the rapping and lyricism, but there are barely any standout lines on the entire album and the flows all over the project are pretty lackluster. The title of the album combined with the cover art is even more jarring after actually hearing the album, and I just don’t understand why it took 3 years for Drake to deliver this. The feature list is stacked on paper, but their contributions were pretty forgettable and their placements make no sense. Why is Lil Baby on Girls Want Girls? Why is Jay Z on Love All? The decisions surrounding this album just don’t make any sense. The best words I have to describe this album right now are: soulless, redundant, and confusing.

That's the problem, the tracks are just "good" but nothing more

I don't think there are any particularly bad tracks on here btw

Fam, I'm not saying every song is following the new kids but you listening to the production for most of these tracks? How niggas say Jonah beat sounds derivative and not Jesus Lord? Yeah, Kanye and Jay E are spitting but that beat (imo) is just mid to me.

But also, you could argue 24 is Every Hour pt. 2™
