Lady Gaga joining the s*** album cover competition
nah this is dope, but either way no one can compete with drake
People don't like it when you talk about God n' s*** on your records even when the music bangs.
But will give you a 9/10 talking about bleached a******s & people jacking sandwiches outta' yo' fridge.
I love the B sides and Ye giving us LP2 features. I love the extended version of Jesus Lord personally. Dababy kills it on Jail too tbh. I f*** with the length heavy, Ye and KSG were way too short. JiK was cool but incomplete
people really rating it based on s*** other than the music, shows you the society we’re living in
joker moment
ngl it has nothing standing out if i'm being really blunt
It's not his best. But it's def solid enough to get a middle of the road score.

I couldn’t stand the preaching in JIK but some parts of Donda really got me believing

TALK TO EM
So where was all this complaining during the listening parties I never actually tuned into them s***s
I fw the cover art. It’s both simple and incredibly complex. On the one hand, it’s just simple emojis. Seems very low effort. But this is Drake saying that he wants the music to speak for itself first and foremost. He doesn’t need gimmicks, theatrics, or controversy. Music comes number 1, as it should.
But a second glance also reveals a striking complexity. The use of emojis is Drake commenting on how the digital age has reduced complex emotions and difficult conversations previously held and expressed in person to simple images, emojis. Brain dead consumers, whose thought has been reduced by corporations to the lowest common denominators that could never possibly capture the full intricacy of our individual thoughts and feelings. Corporations like Apple attempt to homogenize us into simple unquestioning sacks of flesh, reducing, capable of only communicating in through grunts in the form of emojis, not much different than our Neanderthal progenitors. This breeds a knuckle dragging populace incapable of thinking critically about the role technology plays in keeping us under heel and subservient to our corporate overlords. Drake invites us to ponder this.
I think he’s also asking us to reflect on the burden women are forced to carry in our society, and how this burden is further complicated by the intersectional oppressions of race and gender, hence the beautiful diversity of women showcased through this art.
Hoping to do more of a deep dive on all this after I’ve had a chance to reflect more on this bold artistic direction. Drake effectively makes a statement while simultaneously asking us to consider some very hard questions posed by our postmodern society.

Bro i want to say yes, but this is the first time i can't find anything in me to root for this album
But i'm sure it'll grow on me...
right?
Sometimes we vax and sometimes we cry, but I guess you know now, baby
I took a Pfizer and she took the Moderna, slow down, baby (baby)
We took a trip, now we on your block and it's like Wuhong, baby
Where these antivaxers be at when they say they doin' all this and all that?
Yeah as much as I love the album you really can’t say Kanye didn’t shoot himself in the foot, especially when Jail pt 2 and the rest of the part 2s are unnecessary. The meaning and shock factor really only soured it with these white publications, so I hope ye wasn’t expecting 10s across the board
I'm loving the pt 2s tbh
why is Kanye going to jail tonight
why did he guess he is going to jail
he drinkin and drivin
