I mean I doubt Tyler told him anything besides “nah this is basic you can do better” and leaving it at that

most definitely.

mbdtf was a beautiful merging of powerful features.

donda is just a bizarre mix of random rappers that someone probably played kanye or he heard about on twitter. I think a lot of it just has to do w him getting old. Kanye has said on record that he doesn't keep up with rap. he doesn't listen to modern hip hop. and that's fine, because he's never really tried to make modern rap, he always just does what he likes. for a long time, whatever he did became modern rap. When he put together the feature list on mbdtf it was a bunch of artist who came up with or around him, and people who's music he was genuinely a big fan of.

the sense i get w donda is that kanye said "i'm gonna make christian music cool. I'm gonna put christianity into cool rap songs" and then realized he doesn't know what "cool rap songs" even means. It seems like he grabbed a bunch of guys who he heard were popular with the kids and threw them on whatever tracks he felt like. This time around it really doesn't seem like there's a deep connection with most of the features at all. I really doubt Kanye and Lil Durk are close outside of the recording studio.

Honestly this keeps going with the beats. I think Kanye has picked up that short zaytoven style 808s are popular now, but hasn't realized how important drumkits are in this digital age. You need the right hats claps snares etc to make a good beat. when it's homebrewed stuff it has to be either really well done or really unique, otherwise it just sounds cheap and off brand. and that's exactly what's happened with so many of these beats, the 808s especially. For all my producer people out there, I think most of the donda beats sound like attempts at modern instrumentals made with only stock sounds. It doesn't sound like one (or even a few) producers coherent vision, it sounds like a product of session musicians and a bunch of inexperienced producers. while im at it, this is exactly why I hate take a daytrip's production, it just sounds like a lab made imitation of what real production is.
