Release your novels! I don't know about anyone else but I'd support! I'm currently nearing the end of writing my first one 📚
Not to put anyone down, but Kanye fans are truly wild. I like the album alright but I sympathize and agree with most of Bob’s opinions here. Divorced from the rollout, divorced from the background info, it’s a fairly hollow album.
Dude you need to check out No Hands by JVB, no one it talking about, I’m very surprised no one has recommended it to you yet
This bummed me out a bit. Top 3 Kanye for me. Music hits different for everybody though.
I am the only human on earth that likes Junya apparently 🤣
Ok Ok pt. 2 is so much better than Ok Ok. Shennsea kills it.
i've cried so much to this album, it came out around the time my father died and some of the songs specifically jonah,24, and moon, really speak to me in that regard. sucks you didn't rlly like those tracks but its ur opinion lol. overall i think if this album was shrunk down a little it'd be a all timer
I think the whole idea of Donda is about being free. Kanye has talked about how his mom enabled his free thinking and ideas, making her the key to his freedom. That's also why the album seems so scattered; I feel as if it's Kanye trying to make a point of "he's free to do what he wants," which is also pretty frequently pushed in his rhetoric. I also believe Kanye is aware of the idea of trying to convince himself that he's following God; Come to Life essentially encapsulates your whole perspective on Kanye's spirituality (super valid take btw) in the lyrics "Took your thoughts and penciled them in... maybe they'll come to life". Great video as always, much love!!
no full faces reaction and he didn’t like donda fuck my tarded life mane 😔✊🏽
I think this is a tough album to react to. Not only is it over an hour and a half, but a lot of the love for the album comes from the roll out. there's a lot of filler tracks
Also I 100% wouldn't listen to vultures. It'd be a waste of a reaction, there's a lot of better music out there
Bob if you like Fivio Foreign, you gotta listen to Pop Smoke. They were friends and have collabs together. Plus the 808’s in his production are very similar to Off the Grid!
I love watching people react to tell the vision LOL
yess finally he didn’t like it.
Have not listened to this yet but surprised to read Bob didn’t like it. It’s S tier IMO. I’ve waited so long for this. Maybe the album will grow on him over time, like it did with me. But given that reactors are constantly moving on to new content, they will never live with the music like we have.
this album is his second best next to pablo imo. the rollout was extraordinary, the atmosphere of this entire album is like Kanye had a fire in his belly again and the reasoning behind the censorship of the album is because Kanye made this album for North and didnt want any swear words
Bob straight up not liking it is kind of wild did not expect that tbh. It’s aight tho everyone’s got their take, this is actually tied for my second favorite Kanye album so it definitely has a special place in my heart. Listened to it every time I drove from college back home. Glad he finally got around to listening to it tho.
this is like a year before the alex jones stuff
Donda is more of an atmosphere than a concept
The story of the fivio verse is that he kept doing like 8 bars and Kanye and whoever else just kept being like alright more
Can’t believe he didn’t love Off the grid. I thought he would be blown away tbh
Tbf that’s probably his first exposure to drill or something similar to drill.
Just landed in Croatia from Vienna and was praying the whole flight that this would be up by the time I got service again Praise God
The second style of Off tha Grid you liked is UK/NY Drill. Its hard to explain but Chicago created Drill music, certain artists in the roughest UK estates loved it and started to make their own version and then NY liked our style and started doing their version of it.
Yes! A skepta reaction would be awesome!
Been needing this since I joined
WE ARE SO BACK
LETS GOOOO
Donda
They’re playing soccer in my backyard, I think I see Messi
Oh bob, you really are santa.
Oooh can’t wait to listen at work later!
Don’t know if he’s gonna like It, but I’ve been waiting for this reaction for so long. Really great to have this as a Christmas present from bob. Thank you 🙏
Finally
I have a 9 1/2 hour drive ahead of me to move out of my college apartment. This is the most perfect timing possible
Update: my car broke down and I’m listening to this waiting to be towed.
YESSSSSSSSSSS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
I’ve been refreshing on Patreon for the past 15 mins and it finally dropped lmaoo.
