Racing Kanye used to be very exciting. It's fun to watch a rapper face his ego in his way, all of which serve the passionate pop music that lives on the edge of acting skills and solipsism. He is a tightrope walker wearing Louis Vuitton stockings and blinds. Now something in his field has become dull, and the pleasure of seeing people and art has become a routine for Kanye and his stadium-sized albums, releases, archive projects, and multi-billion-dollar sneaker empires. accept. U.S. dollars, openly fighting bipolar disorder, pious.
Christian and non-secular music, meetings with former President Donald Trump’s MAGA, and his own presidential campaign. The clauses that need to put the artist himself in the context now envelop everything he does. Kanye’s music once said that 400 years of slavery was a choice. He once said on Twitter that Bill Cosby was innocent. He completely changed rap and didn’t produce a great album in five years. It sounds like As an afterthought, some extra voices have. His 10th studio album, Donda, was named after his late mother, Dr. Donda C. West, and was brought to life through three listening events held at the two largest stadiums in the country. When the masked Kanye was doing push-ups and frolicking with DaBaby, thousands of people and more people watched songs about God, family, divorce, and "Goat from Throat to Throat" on the Internet. He recently released Fear Same comment. With Marilyn Manson, she is currently facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits. Each meeting felt like a market test disguised as performing arts, and in some ways it was worse than the 2016 reunion of Pablo's life in Madison Square Garden with their infamous Jackson Hole.
Like any album released on a streaming service without the artist's approval, Donda was almost unfinished when it arrived, and with a lot of luggage. Its running time of 1 hour and 48 minutes includes the euphoric orgasm of lack of connective tissue, and the data dump of songs seeking higher calls. On the surface, the subject Kanye was about to explore was obvious: his mother and his beliefs shaped his way. Christianity has played a role in his music since at least "Jesus Walks", but now it seems to inspire all aspects of his creativity. Pablo's concept was built around his attempts to connect the apostle Pablo with the drug lord Pablo Escobar and the revolutionary artist Pablo Picasso. He founded the Sunday Service Choir in 2019 and re-recorded a clean version of his classic songs. Soon after, West stated that he would stop cursing his music altogether, which could explain why the clean version of Donda is currently the only version that can be streamed. When you choose which parts of the religion to follow, it is easy to become evangelical.
In Donda, West's relationship with God pushed him in a more deliberate direction. The last section of "Off the Grid" focuses on Kanye's Tao, because he elaborated on his religious mission statement: "I am not sending a heavenly message for fun / don't try to test me; I keep clean, but you may Will get dirty". The opening poem of "Jesus Lord" is Kanye's most concentrated and primitive verse over the years, a mass of repressed anxiety, drug addiction, and memories of his mother. There are a lot of lines about talking, finding strength, relying on alone and needing God, such as Kanye asking her partner to text "Hey, there are many ys" and sneaky carols condensed.
Under the gloomy youth, the shepherd resonated around him. The outbreak of delayed croissants and the reference to The Waterboy on Yeezus is a low-level comedy in high art. With Donda's indifference and chaos, Kanye's infamous prank bar crashed to the ground. , Features. This is my work: Except for the title song, G.O.O.D. President of Pusha T Music, Donda himself does not appear in most of the contents of this album. The first two versions of Donda included more sound clips from Kanye's mother, a guiding light, and a platonic ideal for him and his guests to fight for. (The basic advice found in the edited track "Never Give Up Your Family" is a blank in this final version). Although she appeared several times, her truncated presence here deprived the album's original tribute to the trust in maternal love and wisdom. Because of the lack of women in the track list of 27 songs, including the male parade accused of sexual abuse, including Chris Brown and Manson, and others with homophobic backgrounds, at least the reverence he sought in performance has not been lost , Such as DaBaby and Buju Banton. However, the guest is Tangda's most famous glade. Roddy Ricch and Baby Keem sing and scream to have their respective songs, but Texas singer Vory shines, his wave-like melody is ghostly on a few of his characteristics. The veteran Jay Electronica and Yonkers trio Lox complements West's contemplative posture in the great "Jesus Lord pt 2".
The number of guests, and the leap in production from cheating and mockery to vigor and gospel, has evoked G.O.O.D. starting in 2012. Cruel Summer music album, but this at least gave us "Clique" and "Mercy". "Off the Grid" and "Junya" are the closest things to suppressing this manic energy, but neither of them will destroy the Summer Jam stage in the short term. Kanye is good at A&R, which is also part of the frustration here. We already know that even if Drake, Kenny Beats, and West’s own protégé Travis Scott have dealt with this problem better since then, you can force some of the best artists on the sausage board.
The reason why Tang Da stands out like the affectionate "Jonah" or the flying "Pure Soul" works is because they use the energy of the zeitgeist in 2021, but these moments are few and far apart, and the chaos of anxiety and superficial anxiety after marriage Drifting in the ocean. The level of religious concepts. It takes away most of Donda's background information: constant editing, a long guest list containing real cases, including hypotheses and confirmations, hip-hop's biggest self in the past two decades, and important parts of it. The album still sounds incomplete, and I searched for its meaning everywhere, but it turned out to be surprisingly short.
