    Yeah but he hasn't made anything genre defining since Yeezus. He already made albums MBDTF, Yeezus and 808s, I'm totally fine with just an enjoyable experience. Rn I see Donda in the Pablo hemisphere, even slightly better than Pablo imo. That's all I need. Although I agree with you on th ealbum length. Normally I hate 18+ song albums, but in Kanye's case did he make us starve for so long that it's alright

    I'm split. I like that there's obviously an effort being made to actually finish this album, but if you tinker around with s--- too much, the whole one-of-a-kindness of the songs gets lost because it just becomes a version.

    The Wolves treatment. Got f----- around with so much that it's not even that fun to listen to anymore. Been a few years since I played it. But I'll never forget that FIRST time I heard it.

    He certainly knows how to make a fun rollout regardless of what the final product sounds like. It might piss some of his fans off, but at the end of the day everyone is gonna listen regardless so it hardly matters. Like no matter how much he makes us hate him we’re still gonna tune in.

    I really dig the choir, it gives me goosebumps. Production is solid for the most parts, nothing genre defining but very enjoyable. I'm not even sure if kanye could carry a whole album alone rapping-wise, so I'm not mad at the features either. They are well placed and add some extra flavour to the songs. I understand why the religious content might be not it for many people but personally I don't mind it (but I'm a christian). He definitely toned it down.

    What feedback did he need from the 1st time other than:

    “Finish it”

    ??

    I'd kind of agree if it just needed some basic feedback and a bit of a level up but to present a completely unfinished product that required weeks (possibly months) of round the clock attention is just another cry for help.

    I like Yeezus and it's weirdness more but I can totally see why people find Pablo to be the better sonic experience

    It would be a nice thing if he didnt charge muchn for tickets and warned about it. Also he shouldnt have any deadlines.

    You cant charge expensive tickets saying it is the real deal and then play some unfinished tracks like he did, come on
