part you quoted is facts, i'ma check this out

“Off the Grid” has a particular intensity, bringing listeners the best verse of feature Fivio Foreign’s career, the most focused rap I’ve heard from Kanye in ten years, and a speaker-shattering beat that practically begs to be added to gym playlists.

Real

I couldn't imagine what ye would do with this

it's the only choral s*** I love more than God Breathed and Say You Will

Last Sunday, the ever-evolving Kanye West released Donda, his tenth studio album. The rapper — and Kanye collaborator — Jay-Z once remarked that it is essentially “impossible” to rate an album properly in the immediate days after its release. To some extent, I agree with him. Time and time again, music critics have slandered albums only to praise their genius years later (and vice versa). So it’s possible that my own assessment, as well as that of others, may change over time; true understanding only flowers with patience.

this is also true

LOOK, I REMEMBER THE DAYS
SAME 'FIT FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT
I USED TO EAT 50 CENT CAKE
NOW IT'S PHILIPPE'S
IT'S PHILIPPE'S FOR THE STEAK
BUY IT, I DON'T CARE WHAT IT COST
AND I ALWAYS KEEP A POLE
I DID A HUNDRED ON A PRO

That 5d on top of the post is a reality slap in the face.

Threw LOTP on after No Child Left Behind for the hell of it and it really feels like a Late type-track in that context, Ye just talking s*** over a lavish beat to end off the album, kinda dig it ngl

So what songs are going to make it on the billboard? Is all 23 songs going to make it?

DaBaby was recently “canceled” for controversial homophobic comments and subsequently dropped from radio play, collaborative sponsorships, and half a dozen major festival lineups. His maligned public image would seemingly make him the last choice for an immediate song feature. Yet Kanye added DaBaby to the album almost immediately after his fall from the public’s grace. This was intentional, and emblematic of one of the album’s most prominent themes: redemption.

why is this review so good

See through it, neck, igloo it
Habla en español, I "y tu" it

Praise gods so f***ing hard

finally someone who heard this f***ing album and understood it

I was just telling my friend today…

I’ve 100% listened to Donda more than any reviewer has, and my understanding of the album just keeps evolving to this day.

How could a reviewer who listened to the album a couple times get to my level of understanding that I’ve got in at 10+ full-focused listens?

There is so much unappreciated depth here.

melody and chord changes floored me at first but then what ye was actually saying started to seep through

the melody usually gets to me before the lyrics have a chance

there are so many aspects to this album, fair play to anyone attempting to delve into them and report back

architectural digest

My god at the top (la flame)

The 3.4 metacritic got me dead

Uncle right back to the pen

PEOPLE AINT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE ALBUM YET BRO!!!!
