blonde soounds excellent tho and none of those songs were begging for drums
everything frank does feels very intentional - meanwhile, you can tell that everything kanye does on tonight's version of DONDA is born out of a lack of time + effort
Waiting for the version of this album where critics said Kanye was rapping like he was broke and trying to get signed. Where's Life of the party? Where are the bars? Just mubling and unfishedness again from Kanye. The streaming era really has f***ed his process.
no these people aren’t thinking straight
How can u say that? Kanye’s vocals are literally unlistenable on the opening track they chose to show us tonight.

Nigga do you know what a ballad is?
Songs don't need drums, are you a f***ing primal creature?

This captures it so much better than the live stream b
honestly
I feel bad that the viewers of the livestream didn’t get the same vibe we did
yes but only for the listening party.
in regards to the album, i still think the version he played at Vegas is the official version. Just couldn’t play it in front of Kim and the kids because of the subject matter
ok this is an interesting theory. i could see kanye doing something like this.
the songs that dont have much of him are the best and thats sad
but like the roddy song.... why isnt there a repeated chorus? why isnt there drums? that was almost a moment
Aesthetic choices
I think he let young voices shine on purpose, don't imagine the album will have any new vocals just be cleaned up and mixed
Niggas bringing up Blonde…
that album is trash let it go
I don't even like Frank Ocean that much but even I wouldn't call Blonde trash lol
Come back Kendrick
If you like Kendrick I’m sure you’ll like Reason
Did Kanye actually perform great on any songs?
I’m tired of features carrying him for the past 4-5 projects.
Nigga show UP on your OWN album. Wayne was the “best rapper alive” in 2007 and you still went hard and bodied Barry Bonds..
Still went hard on So Appalled surrounded by some of the best lyricists…
Still went hard on Two Words, Never Let Me Down, etc
Went hard on We Major on a song with Nas
Went hard on Gone on a song with Cam
Spazzed on Gorgeous on a song with Raekown.
I just want Kanye to act like it’s HIS album for once. Like bro you not supposed to be the weakest link on your own s***.
Ok i agree with the sentiment but youre really gonnna bring up barry bonds as your first example?

During that remote control song everybody in my section was moving and dancing and the version that got streamed has no oomph
Blonde haters are corny
Just let people hate what they want to hate, man.. Same for what they want to love.. People can have opinions.
Blonde sounds like Demos, Frank's Endless sounds like demos. Hell Pablo sounds like demos.
Ye's good at making very "scrappy songs" but if the idea is complete it's complete; mixing and mastering is part of the musical process
I feel like poor mixing is part of kanye's "aesthetic brand" now
Alright
so I watched some of the streamed version yall saw
Lmao it didn’t even capture the crowd atmosphere and I guess listening through an arena sound system made it better as well with a crowd

Here’s a whole audio recording I let ride while I was at the concert so excuse me going wild but it was rly different and I understand the complaints now on the mix
woah this does sound way different
He put out an unfinished body of work under his late mothers name.....
You think old Ye would've done that s***?
Don't blame his mental state either.
If he can't handle s*** nowadays, take your f***ing meds.
God damn... It's just frustrating cause I know what this man's capable of.
