Kanye West hosted the second Donda listening party at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium via Apple Music on Thursday (August 5), just hours before he was expected to drop the long awaited project. But as typical for Ye, the 24-track effort still hasn’t shown up on digital streaming platforms. But that hasn’t stopped a flood of comments flowing in on social media.
From fans to peers alike, everyone seemed to have an opinion on what they heard. After all, the initial version Kanye played on July 22 isn’t anything close to the latest version. The sheer amount of special guests on the project alone is staggering.
JAY-Z, Kid Cudi, The Weeknd, Roddy Ricch, Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty, Fivio Foreign, Don Toliver, Young Thug, Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Jay Electronica and The LOX (who apparently didn’t sleep after their Verzuz battle against Dipset) were among the many voices who popped up on the album, several of which were added in the eleventh hour.
As contributor Kid Cudi confirmed on Twitter, “I wasn’t on Donda when I tweeted that I wasn’t. Ye hit me the following week and we made it work. Realest n-gga alive. No need to lie to kick it . Hope u guys enjoy!!”
Fellow Chicagoan Lupe Fiasco also had something to say about Donda, tweeting simply, “This new Ye is a slapper.”
But Kanye must’ve heard something he didn’t like and appears to be back at the drawing board, once again putting on what should be the final, final touches.
Kanye West's 'Donda' Album Features JAY-Z, Kid Cudi, Pop Smoke, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, The LOX + More
Even so, Organized Konfusion legend Pharoahe Monch, Guapdad 4000 and BROCKHAMPTON’s Kevin Abstract were among the many artists and other members of the Hip Hop community who loved what they heard — or at least thought it was a vast improvement from what they were presented with a couple of weeks ago.
Check out the reactions below as Kanye fans continue to wait for Donda to materialize.
Gayfish’s Mommy album about God is going to sink deeper than any blue Marlin that he’s ever f***** in the sea lol.
I hate the fact I didn’t pull out your moms. But forget if. She didn’t want child support. When will you let me finally visit you my trans son?
That’s the best you could come up with. You must be in prison right now cuz it’s a crime for you to be this goddamn retarded. Kanye is a Gayfish. Just accept it. He’s got mommy issues and is a self absorbed egotistical false religious hip hop/fashion pariah who needs others people’s validation to feel important. You know what we call that,being a baby. He’s got all this money and he’s still not happy with himself or his line of work. But braindead idiots like you worship him like a God. You created the ocean for this Gayfish to swim in.
100 percent agree. Gayfish is an arrogant self absorbed clown, man diva. professing to be a visionary genius…trying so hard to prove his musical and fashion tastes are eclectic pieces of art. Gimme a break this diva a cry baby and weirdo upset because Donna was ratchet and his breath smells like ray J genitals
A Ye” this shit better be hard and really for right now..No fluff materialistic mess it’s real out here represent the time if you gon do that, but keep it a buck.Hope you used the features right and the n point with the content no fantasy ish
You Ye fans are delusional b***** , He’s been wack AG since after MBTDF and should’ve just retired as a rapper and just stuck to being producer and that fashion BS. Ever since his mom die, he’s lost his creative drive and his mind anyways.
Touch my mom’s tart? Wow that sounds more like you’re after the dad then the mom smh…also why are you fantasizing about a trans son…Like seriously WTF is wrong with you? If you’re that hard up for some, just go hit up tinder or something and go find a guy or something but don’t take your sexual frustrations out on us.
Huh? That literally made no sense. Pretty sure no one is lol.
Then obviously, you can’t read and are just another gayfish too
Damn, have you been living in your boyfriend’s ass for the last 15 years or something? Everyone knows about South Park and The Fish stick/ Gayfish episode where Kanye admits to being a Gayfish. It’s when he made 808 and Heartbreaks, The Autotune made him sound like a fish, and They made fun of him for it. He still gets pissed off whenever anyone calls him a Gayfish. He can’t take a joke.
Its great marketing. He’s trying to get his stream numbers up
While I expect this album to be better than some of his previous ones. I don’t think it’ll come close to Zay’s THIB album.
Wait lol. Who???? Zay? Is he Egyptian?
Naw, he’s just another gay dude.
Tired of waiting I just downloaded rips from the event, it is what it is, i do not care anymore
lol I don’t care but I went thru the trouble of downloading the rips from the show. ? ok….
It took me like one minute. And yes I do not care about that circus anymore. I just want the music. And people let me tell you this, after two listens, this album is not worth the hype it is getting unless you are a fan of jesus that is
Starting to get the impression that Donda will only ever be a live experience where Kanye invites guests along each week to help keep it fresh, like some living organism replacing its cells. Kind of unique I suppose, but im over Kanye’s stunts. If it drops it drops and l listen, but I’ll live if it doesn’t.
Y’all n***** are gay
Found dababy
Give me my Instagram and Twitter back, you racist f*****!
Remember his TurboGrafx 16 album? Where’s that now?
Kanyes my favorite retarded rapper
Next is Courage The Cowardly Dog (Aka Desiigner) cuz that n**** makes me laugh every time I see his videos or him hit the stage lol. All we need to make it perfect is Muriel or Eustace.
ConGay West got the whole world swimming in his gay fishbowl.
By the time his album drops (IF it drops) we would have heard it like three times already, less sales and streams than if he just waited until it was finished, whats the point other than to keep making money from these album streaming shows?
