Only a Sample of Strong Women

It’s telling how Kanye uses women’s voices on a record dedicated to the most important woman of his life: as cameos in his own grand production of himself. Early versions of Donda featured a clip from Gwendolyn Brooks, reciting her poem “Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward (Among them Nora and Henry III),” and multiple spoken-word passages from Dr. Donda West herself. On the final record, Donda appears just once (on “Praise God”) and speaks mostly of her son, while the Brooks poem has been removed. These absences loom large, a missed opportunity to lend gravitas to an album packed with goofy similes (“God the father like Maury”) and hymns of praise. Out of the dozens of features and scores of contributors, only a handful of women appear on Donda: There’s a Lauryn Hill sample on “Believe What I Say,” two verses from dancehall queen Shenseea (“Pure Souls,” “Ok Ok Pt. 2”), and Syleena Johnson’s one-word “Donda Chant.”
