    It’s probably true, the stems are wav files which are super uncompressed/HQ audio files…but that also means they are very large files :kreepykanye:

    Yep. releasing it in this state is just pathetic even by the low standards Kanye has set for himself over the past 5 years

    I honestly think there's something there if he can refine it a little more, though

    Sounds like he smoothed out some of this censoring, too.

    Not ideal, but better than it was when there were only four tracks out

    The delay, multiple fumbles, and unfinished product all s--- - but I do think there's a solid piece of work here.

    Production and guests do most of the carrying, but that's pretty on-par for recent Kanye and I'm fine with it

    Agreed I was actually looking forward to this song because I loved the minimalism. I thought the lyrics were only incomprehensible because it was a live performance with sound issues, but it was really just a mumble demo lol. Need my native english speaking friends to tell me if they actually understand something besides "I still get lost sometimes mumble mumble, 'memba when we hahunhein mumble mumble"

    All in all this album is pretty weak, especially compared to the first Donda. I can't believe that Kanye actually listened to Pablo, with it's 2015 Travis Scott type beat and basicness pouring out of all it's pores, and said: Yeah we put this on my album. Where is the vision, Kanye? I watched jeen-yuhs recently and he was so proud of his rapping and didn't want to be limited to just producing. Now he is neither producing and his "rapping" consists 90% of just humming a melody with some fakeglish thrown in.

    His major flaw is putting arbitrary timelines on his projects, as if to force himself to complete the project, when clearly it's unfinished.

    They sound like reference tracks where the actual words to the verse aren't done yet. It's super annoying, who wants to read a rough draft of a novel, or pay to watch practice games, or buy a half finished painting...
