Kanye is so good at taking songs that start out sounding so iconic that they wil surely last as cultural footnotes for decades to come.
Then he opens his mouth.
He'll make something that sounds within half a mile of the legendary quality, ambition and creativity of something like Dark Side of the Moon in mainstream pop form, then he reminds everybody that he's bipolar and f***s b****es in they ass, while simultaneously downgrading the complexity and grandeur or his beat and melody down to a fifth of it's initial splendor. It's like drenching a five star five, diamond medium rib-eye in cold A1 Sauce, or giving Leonardo DaVinci only mud-covered sticks to create art. Like a s***stain on a wedding dress, absolute clockwork every time. He makes good enough rap, but he's shown his capacity for how great he can make his music sound countless times. Even then, there are a thousand mainstream rappers, dead or alive, that are better than him at the actual lyricism alone, let alone any other parameter for distinguishing a rapper's skill. It's the exact feeling you get when you're listening to a great 00's/10's pop song, then you suddenly hear the "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEE" of the one and only Pitbull, and you know that you are about to be bombarded with an entire verse + hook of whatever the f*** Pitbull raps about for thirty seconds, and that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. It's the feeling Gus had when he realized there was a pipe bomb three feet away from him with a detonation time of T-three seconds and that all he could do was sit with the gtim reality of his immediate fate, and writhe in the morbid inadequacy of everything about his situation, except a little more saturnine in it's hue. That is the exact emotion I feel when I hear the beginning of nearly any Kanye song that isn't from one of his s***tier albums, waiting for him to downgrade his marble sculture to a snowman, thinking of what he could have been, but never will be.

Yea he has actually tons of finished songs which is a completely different situation to XXX
Wonder what Tell the Vision sounds like
Per leakers it was a DONDA track and it’s a drill beat

drill beat isn't confirmed that is speculation. But it's confirmed that the track which is releasing is the Donda one which had a pop smoke feat even back then now it's just been given to his team. Don't know if final version will have ye verse though, could have been removed who knows.
