I enjoyed hearing Jay Z on the track “Jail” but then you also got people like Da Baby, who don’t really fit into the album at all. You got people like Jay Z, who previously had a collaboration album with West called “Watch The Throne.” You also have Young Thug, Chris Brown, and many more talented artists appearing on the album. Sadly that’s how most of the album feels not cared for and rushed. The Weeknd and Lil Baby),” the beat sounds generic and not cared for. Don’t get me wrong, there is some great production on the album like in “Believe what I say” that sampled Lauryn Hills 1998 song “do wop (That Thing).” But in tracks like “Hurricane (ft. But even though West had a producer who has worked with names such as Playboi Carti, and ASAP Rocky the production falls flat, in my opinion. Out of the 27 tracks, West produced them all… well with the help of Digital Nas, Mike Dean, and many others. Why I think the album’s ratings are that low is because of these reasons: The production, the features, and the genre. Many people agree, as the album as of now is sitting at 53% on Metacritic. Now that I’ve talked about the making of West’s newest album, is “Donda” good? Well, in my opinion, the album is a strong 6 to 7 on a ranking of 10. In the same performance, he burnt it down and lit himself on fire. West’s point of bringing them on the stage was to “counter cancel culture.” But besides that, the performance was wild, as he built his childhood home in the middle of the stadium. Attending this performance was the rapper Da-Baby, who was recently canceled for his comments on AIDS, and rock star Marilyn Manson who was accused of abusing actress Evan Rachel Wood and other women. This was the most controversial of all the parties. West finally had his third listening party on August 27. Some speculate it to be a religious metaphor. He proceeded to rise to the top of the stadium. During the performance he stood in the middle of the stadium while a ring of people danced around him. 5 there were slight changes to the album, but it was hard to notice because simultaneously there was an intriguing performance. During that duration, he was mixing the album to get the album ready for release under Def Jam Records. After the first listening party, he began to live in the stadium until his next listening party, which was two weeks later. The first one was in late July in the Mercedes Stadium found in Atlanta. However, West is known for not releasing his album on time as his first album, “College Dropout,” was delayed By 193 days.īefore its release, West had three listening parties where a raw version of the album was played. “Donda’s” release was announced more than a year ago, in July 2020, amidst his announcement that he was running for president in the 2020 election. In my opinion, “Donda” is just an okay album, but does not come close to the hype it received. The album was named after his late mother, Donda West who passed away soon after his second album “Graduation” back in 2007. Kanye West released his tenth studio album, “Donda,” on Aug.
