Kanye West held the Donda 2 listening event at Miami’s LoanDepot Park on Tuesday night (February 22). After over two hours of playing nothing but a heartbeat, the main attraction began with a burning replica of his childhood home and Kanye dressed in head-to-toe black.
Wading through water and enveloped in smoke, Kanye blazed through each song and was soon joined by The Game for the previously released “Eazy.” When Ye got to the line about Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Pete Davidson, the crowd cheered as he spit, “God saved me from that crash/Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass (Who?).”

Kanye West was then joined by 2 Chainz and Migos while dozens of armored soldiers surrounded them, their faces obscured by black helmets. But throughout the project, there were so many lines directed squarely at Kardashian that it became quickly apparent the album is a primarily sad affair.
“Keep the flowers, sent a hundred thousand,” he raps, possibly a reference to the truck load of flowers he sent her on Valentine’s Day. “When you give them everything/They always want more” and “Never stand between a man and his kids/I’ll put your security at risk” also sounded like nods to his failed marriage and Kardashian’s new relationship.
Even so, Pusha T brought the energy level up when he joined Ye for “Diet Coke,” which the Clipse MC released earlier this month. Kentucky-bred rapper Jack Harlow, with all of his posturing, stepped up next and spit a few bars before the next song started.
The album took another sad turn when vocals from Kardashian’s Saturday Night Live monologue started blaring over the speakers: “I married the best rapper of all time/Not only that, he’s the richest Black man in America/A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.” The ominous song that followed found Kanye rapping about how he needs to “remove” himself from the situation before he “loses” himself.
Anticipation for an André 3000 appearance, whose bars on “Life of the Party” won the 2021 HipHopDX Verse of the Year, sadly didn’t lead anywhere, but fans were shocked to hear the late XXXTENTACION pop up. Notes of Carl Orff’s masterpiece “O Fortuna” floated through the air as the show continued.
Kanye West Announces 'Donda 2' Will NOT Be Available On Streaming Services
Marilyn Manson and DaBaby eventually surfaced for “Jail,” which Kanye did for the Donda listening event in Chicago last summer as some sort of statement on cancel culture. Alicia Keys also donated her talents to the event, playing and singing the hook from Fivio Foreign and Kanye’s “City Of Gods” collaboration.
Other contributors include Playboi Carti, Soulja Boy (finally), Baby Keem, Don Toliver and Vory. But anyone wanting to get their hands on Donda 2 will have to purchase a stem player for around $200. The album won’t be available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube or any other streaming services as part of Kanye’s “anti-streaming revolution” — at least not yet.

Now that’s marjeting
Gonna be a bunch of trash like the 1st 1
I assume all those people in uniforms got paid, or maybe just wear this for free access eitherway 100+ costumes + all the stage lighting and props…. just saying I never rapped in my life but pretty sure I could spend the same 1M on a show and get people to show up to watch me lip sync in a mask while music played, once yes sycophants melt away and nobody is checking for his music he offs himself in less than a week, honestly dont no anyone who still listens to his stuff but apparently theres still enough, I try to listen to everything once and i dont think i could get past his last 5 joints, oh well only in amerikkka i suppose
If you can do it better, do it man! Lol do it bro was stopping you im here to see it, get it i’ll even buy your album. I wanna you do better in Amerikka dont just type, lets see.
not burning a M to make an M and really dont care about money as much as others been there done that cant take it with ya, but holla back in like 8 years when ill have another bill maybe ill start caring again, but seein as 40% of people couldnt come up with 400 for an emergency id ecxpect 80+% couldnt come up with 1000, so im blessed to have stacked years worth of bills, all i know is if im “worth” 10B I aint doin no concerts, im not marking up hoddies and t shirts 5000%, not selling 30 dollar mp3 players for 200, im actually changing my community for the better without beggin massa for a seat at the table only diiference between me and ye is he could walk off the lot with a new bently and it wont effevt him much me id rather lay in bed the next 10 years and whip the minivan
Lol all i read was excuses. Jealousy is a female trait like Jay said dog you do you live and let live. Dont be mad at the dude that’s about his cash.
whose mad? i find it funny glad dude made it but being a huge hypocrite aint my wave, i guess i am jealous as who wouldnt want millions of dollars but no need to sell my soul to get it will sell everything but though lol simple as theres many other things id do with 1M than throw a party that barely breaks even or if it does profit equals less than .00001% of my 10B “worth” dude out here preaching black power letting his black babies be raised by white bimbos screamin out his mamas name and p i m p i n g god if thats being about his cash so be it, its entertainment at the end of the day straight clown ish
Srt8 garbage definitely wouldn’t pay 10$ or stream this shit.
Kanye hasn’t put out a good album since MBDTF. The crazier he’s got in his personal life, the worse the music has been. Plus, it’s pretty fucking sad that so many clowns adore this goof when he’s opening stalking his ex, now rapping he’ll put her “security at risk”.
WTF is wrong with this dude?
Of all the exaggerations and goofy shit rappers have said over the years. The security song is what did it for you LMAO
