jay-z actually named 3 ye tracks in his verse : on sight , hell of a life , and yikes also “playin soccer in my back yard” is a reference to him living in the mercedes benz stadium to make the album
im not gonna lie,,,as a huuuge ye fan,,i was confused that he produced an album this good too cause i literally thought he evolved soo much that the "new kanye" would just never be as good as "old kanye",,,and i accepted it lol
I feel like you two are the only reactors on the platform who really understood the vibe of Junya and that’s why you guys are the best, everyone else complained that it sounded unfinished and that it was “filler” but if you dumb it down it’s essentially just a fun track to vibe to
@@ebenezeramare1 lyrically empty?? If you’re looking for lyrics from Playboi Carti then there’s your problem 🤣 it’s literally just a turn up song, stop looking deep into it and just vibe
The first bar Jay-Z rapped is a triple entendre. He says "God in my cells, that's my cellie". He says God is in his cells, meaning that God lives in his body, making the selfie line more meaningful, he also says that God is his cellie, which means that God shares a prison cell with him, giving a sinner's perspective, and also God is his cellie, some on his cellphone, meaning that he speaks to the world through God. GODDAMN.
I am so glad you just went through that, not down with Jay these days but how can you ignore the madd skillz, there is nobody can do it like J. He could be studied in University bro, not a double entendre, man comes with a fuckin TRIPLE, OMG, and that 5 times a day, muslims, God in his cellie, FIRE ALBUM

This album gain my confidence in Ye again. I’ve always been a loyal fan despite all his controversies but I had my doubts on his talent thinking he had too much stuff to deal w/ to make life changing music again. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. He showed up and showed us ALL out.

Love this album, the more I listen to it the more I love it. The fact that this is Ye’s 10th album and he’s still going as strong as he is, is amazing. Jail is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time, same with 24 and come to life. Donda just might be a maximalist masterwork.
Sonically, this album exists in a dimension between his "Jesus is King", "YEEZUS", "Late Registration", and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" sounds. The production is atmospheric and grandiose. There are songs like "Jail", "Come to Life", "Moon" or "No Child Left Behind" that gives you a sense of empowerment and spiritual ascension. Perhaps these elements complement his revamped lifestyle in Christianity and were intentionally done. The Sunday Service Choir's presence on this album helps elevate a lot of the songs and brings them to life. Their vocal range makes songs like "Jail" or "24" heart-wrenching songs for the listener, but with songs like "Praise God", their low pitched tempo crooning influences the ominous atmosphere of the song; a very ironic notion being the song was called "Praise God". If you weren't a fan of the religious tones of his previous works like "Jesus is King", this may be a negative critique. One thing to note about this album is that this is a direct product of the fusion of the Gospel and Hip Hop genres. Kanye has used Gospel undertones in his past bodies of works, but on this record, the Gospel instrumentation is very prominent alongside the biblical lyricism throughout the album. Songs like "Jesus Lord", "Jail", and "Come to Life" are adequate examples of this. The usage of the organs, pianos, Sunday Service Choir, drums, and tambourine are sprinkled like Paprika over a lot of songs. However, this may be overbearing for non-religious listeners. Another instrument that was implemented effectively on this album was electronic synths. Ever since "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", the usage of synths have been influenced in the genre of Hip Hop as newer generational artists continued to adopt them in their songs. Synths were strongly mixed on "Come to Life" by legendary mixer, Mike Dean. He was the man that used synths and electric guitar combinations on "My Beautiful Dark Twister Fantasy". From then on, he'd continue to use the combination on later projects from Kanye and other artists. Its usage on "Come to Life" is emotional and nostalgic for fans of Kanye's past music as Kanye sings about being free. Sometimes, simple things can be just as impactful as multifaceted things. With only a few notes, "No Child Left Behind" has easily risen to become one of Kanye's most recognized songs. The song resembles that of the resurrection or ascension of Christ and his mother, Mary [Mother of God]. Personally, the song is orchestrated like Christ is resurrecting from death or The Virgin Mary is ascending into Heaven. Kanye draws upon this during his second Livestream listening party for this album where he physically ascends into the sky as the song plays. This could be a biblical reference to the two examples or it could be interpreted like Kanye has finally accepted being able to live with the passing of his Mother through his relationship with Christ. Thus, he is reborn new again. This would be a probable conclusion as earlier in the record, he struggles with her death and ponders how to see her again [i.e. "Moon", "Jesus Lord"]. A big strength of Kanye's music comes from whom he collaborates with on his songs. The artist placements on "DONDA" were masterfully placed as Kanye was able to let the features shine without carrying him to the finish line, which was something that Drake's "Certified Loverboy" record struggled with. On some songs, Kanye's presence was secondary and on others, his presence was adaptive on a competitive scale [i.e. "Off The Grid", "Jesus Lord", "Remote Control", "New Again"]. A common critique amongst the community, at the moment, is that Kanye's presence on a handful of songs were passenger seat-like. Personally, I prefer that decision because it gives his features room to breathe and his production skills room to breathe as well. The lyrical aspect of this album is a combination of emotive storytelling and religious references or imagery. Again, the amount of religious content can be draining for listeners but also refreshing for others. For example, Jay-Z used biblical references to compare himself and Ye to Moses and Jesus on "Jail" as well as comfort Ye's mother in Heaven. On "Jesus Lord", Kanye showcases his storytelling MC skills discussing the emotional changes and manic episodes with his mental health [bipolar disorder], his memories of his mother, conversing with Christ through prayer, and an allegory involving a family member taking the life of another over revenge. For fans who enjoy lyricism with atmospheric content, this song is a must-listen. Overall, I think fans will be satiated with the level of effort and emotional investment that this record showcases. The album feels very cohesive and well put together. A very consistent critique from the "YE" and "Jesus is King" records was that they sounded rigid, rushed, and incomplete. This could be representative of his Bi-Polar Disorder as a common symptom involves a "flight of ideas" which makes it highly difficult to stay focused on one idea. The production across the album is intricate as it feels like you can hear each instrument play its role in the songs like cogs turning in a machine. There's a lot to appreciate with this album whether it be for its lyrical content from Kanye and his guests or the selection of instruments used to amplify his central theme. This album showcases that Kanye is always evolving his music with every record. In addition, it shows that he's not afraid of taking risks whether that be with the genres he wears, the artists he collaborates with, or the lyrical content he douses himself in. Despite the criticisms, there's something to appreciate when listening to this album. In the end, this album will sit beautifully on his discography with his other critically acclaimed albums; an album worthy of surpassing his previous bodies of work.
Bruh this album has like 4 filler songs outta 23. Mfs acting like the rest of the album aint heat. Tell the Vision don't even bother me. It takes me 1 second to skip it 🤷🏽
Been listening to y’all’s podcast lately and all I can say is keep that shit up! I’m a huge fan! In the military and I can just say y’all really help past the time!
Believe What I Say is lightning in a bottle. 24 could’ve opened the album, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Come Back to Life and Moon too. I’ve never heard a track go as hard as Heaven and Hell does. This album is AOTY, and obviously a 10/10.
its awesome to see a real Ye fan reaction pure like this.. I watched every listening event so by the time it came out I knew it was BIG HITS through and through.. "LETS FUCKIN GO!"
Been waiting for this one and it was so good! Terrance has been WAITING for a Ye project like this for so long... I love watching him get to be so happy!! Both of ya are fantastic!!
That Jay bar “Pray 5 times a day so many felonies” to fell on knees is not a bad reach I think may be spot on, didn’t catch that. I thought it was also a reference to how often when ppl go to prison they convert to being muslim and many of them pray 5 times a day. THIS. IS. WHY. JAY. IS. THE. GOAT
@@yeezy7905 their Patreon videos are exactly the same as the RUclips ones they just drop sooner, they probably withheld the RUclips upload bc they got so many new patrons from the video being only on there for so long

I’m a Drake Stan but Donda was album of the year without a doubt the culture needed this 💯
Call me if you get lost😉
@@braindead1 not better than Donda
@@jordan12118 Donda does have bangers but CMIYGL is more balanced and superior as an album imo.
Just my opinion...
call me if you get lost has some good songs not better then donda but it’s a reaaaally good album
@@VZ-VR637 nah imo cmiygl is the album oty but that’s just my taste because both are completely different styles of rap from each other
39:09 Terrell really killed this lol - had me dying lolol 10 out of 10
Really hit that shit wtff lmao
Been saying he can hit those notes lmao
yea he killed that shit 😭
38:02 😂
Love this album, the more I listen to it the more I love it. The fact that this is Ye’s 10th album and he’s still going as strong as he is, is amazing. Jail is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time, same with 24 and come to life. Donda just might be a maximalist masterwork.
What everyone has been waiting for, just like how the world waited for Donda to drop
We can't go back in time to listen to this album for the first time again, but this is about as close as we can get to reliving that first listen
About time💯💯💯 Yall got the most entertaining reviews on this app fr

I still remember I cried 3 times first listen. 🔥 Ye did it again.
Me too..Still do
Is it weird that I’ve watched this at least three times since y’all drop this ?
production wise, this is my favorite Ye project. Enjoyed every song, and each feature fit the production, it was worth the wait ! Loved It..
Sonically, this album exists in a dimension between his "Jesus is King", "YEEZUS", "Late Registration", and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" sounds. The production is atmospheric and grandiose. There are songs like "Jail", "Come to Life", "Moon" or "No Child Left Behind" that gives you a sense of empowerment and spiritual ascension. Perhaps these elements complement his revamped lifestyle in Christianity and were intentionally done. The Sunday Service Choir's presence on this album helps elevate a lot of the songs and brings them to life. Their vocal range makes songs like "Jail" or "24" heart-wrenching songs for the listener, but with songs like "Praise God", their low pitched tempo crooning influences the ominous atmosphere of the song; a very ironic notion being the song was called "Praise God". If you weren't a fan of the religious tones of his previous works like "Jesus is King", this may be a negative critique.
One thing to note about this album is that this is a direct product of the fusion of the Gospel and Hip Hop genres. Kanye has used Gospel undertones in his past bodies of works, but on this record, the Gospel instrumentation is very prominent alongside the biblical lyricism throughout the album. Songs like "Jesus Lord", "Jail", and "Come to Life" are adequate examples of this. The usage of the organs, pianos, Sunday Service Choir, drums, and tambourine are sprinkled like Paprika over a lot of songs. However, this may be overbearing for non-religious listeners.
Another instrument that was implemented effectively on this album was electronic synths. Ever since "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", the usage of synths have been influenced in the genre of Hip Hop as newer generational artists continued to adopt them in their songs. Synths were strongly mixed on "Come to Life" by legendary mixer, Mike Dean. He was the man that used synths and electric guitar combinations on "My Beautiful Dark Twister Fantasy". From then on, he'd continue to use the combination on later projects from Kanye and other artists. Its usage on "Come to Life" is emotional and nostalgic for fans of Kanye's past music as Kanye sings about being free.
Sometimes, simple things can be just as impactful as multifaceted things. With only a few notes, "No Child Left Behind" has easily risen to become one of Kanye's most recognized songs. The song resembles that of the resurrection or ascension of Christ and his mother, Mary [Mother of God]. Personally, the song is orchestrated like Christ is resurrecting from death or The Virgin Mary is ascending into Heaven. Kanye draws upon this during his second Livestream listening party for this album where he physically ascends into the sky as the song plays. This could be a biblical reference to the two examples or it could be interpreted like Kanye has finally accepted being able to live with the passing of his Mother through his relationship with Christ. Thus, he is reborn new again. This would be a probable conclusion as earlier in the record, he struggles with her death and ponders how to see her again [i.e. "Moon", "Jesus Lord"].
A big strength of Kanye's music comes from whom he collaborates with on his songs. The artist placements on "DONDA" were masterfully placed as Kanye was able to let the features shine without carrying him to the finish line, which was something that Drake's "Certified Loverboy" record struggled with. On some songs, Kanye's presence was secondary and on others, his presence was adaptive on a competitive scale [i.e. "Off The Grid", "Jesus Lord", "Remote Control", "New Again"]. A common critique amongst the community, at the moment, is that Kanye's presence on a handful of songs were passenger seat-like. Personally, I prefer that decision because it gives his features room to breathe and his production skills room to breathe as well. The lyrical aspect of this album is a combination of emotive storytelling and religious references or imagery. Again, the amount of religious content can be draining for listeners but also refreshing for others. For example, Jay-Z used biblical references to compare himself and Ye to Moses and Jesus on "Jail" as well as comfort Ye's mother in Heaven. On "Jesus Lord", Kanye showcases his storytelling MC skills discussing the emotional changes and manic episodes with his mental health [bipolar disorder], his memories of his mother, conversing with Christ through prayer, and an allegory involving a family member taking the life of another over revenge. For fans who enjoy lyricism with atmospheric content, this song is a must-listen.
Overall, I think fans will be satiated with the level of effort and emotional investment that this record showcases. The album feels very cohesive and well put together. A very consistent critique from the "YE" and "Jesus is King" records was that they sounded rigid, rushed, and incomplete. This could be representative of his Bi-Polar Disorder as a common symptom involves a "flight of ideas" which makes it highly difficult to stay focused on one idea. The production across the album is intricate as it feels like you can hear each instrument play its role in the songs like cogs turning in a machine. There's a lot to appreciate with this album whether it be for its lyrical content from Kanye and his guests or the selection of instruments used to amplify his central theme. This album showcases that Kanye is always evolving his music with every record. In addition, it shows that he's not afraid of taking risks whether that be with the genres he wears, the artists he collaborates with, or the lyrical content he douses himself in. Despite the criticisms, there's something to appreciate when listening to this album. In the end, this album will sit beautifully on his discography with his other critically acclaimed albums; an album worthy of surpassing his previous bodies of work.
I read the whole thing.
@@oddissy I commend that
Summed up everything that I couldn't put into words about this album, thankyou.
Dude you should do musical reviews man!
bro is the donda detective
Just coming back to it to remember the reaction to Jay and Off the grid, never gets old 🔥
I don’t get how people say this is filled with filler songs, every song (including TTV and DONDA Chant) has a meaning or significance to the album
@PjaxKorea That doesn’t make them filler, though. TTV is bad, but it has a purpose.
Bruh this album has like 4 filler songs outta 23. Mfs acting like the rest of the album aint heat. Tell the Vision don't even bother me. It takes me 1 second to skip it 🤷🏽
@PjaxKorea One is just an intro and the other is a 30 second interlude what do you expect lmao
@@catnipcatmilk no it doesn’t..
@@jesus.e126 I mean, it does but 🤷🏼♀️
There’s so much good music this year but I listened to this a good amount and DONDA is the album of the year
For me, Donda is not the best album of the year.. but it's my favourite album of the year
Been listening to y’all’s podcast lately and all I can say is keep that shit up! I’m a huge fan! In the military and I can just say y’all really help past the time!
Thank you for your service king
Thanks for your service fam❤️
🙏🏼❤️

Believe What I Say is lightning in a bottle. 24 could’ve opened the album, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Come Back to Life and Moon too. I’ve never heard a track go as hard as Heaven and Hell does. This album is AOTY, and obviously a 10/10.
its awesome to see a real Ye fan reaction pure like this.. I watched every listening event so by the time it came out I knew it was BIG HITS through and through.. "LETS FUCKIN GO!"
I swear I've watched this like 5x lol...love these guy's honesty of the whole album. Would love the uncut version! 💯
Same
30:30 Terrance had me dyin with the poppa doc reference 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
FINALLY THE VIDEO WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
After a year later this album is genuinely amazing to hear. Idk where it ranks in his discography but it’s up there cuz that was amazing to listen to
Been waiting for this one and it was so good! Terrance has been WAITING for a Ye project like this for so long... I love watching him get to be so happy!! Both of ya are fantastic!!
The banter between you two is why I always come back lmao. That first 4 min is insanely funny.
That Jay bar “Pray 5 times a day so many felonies” to fell on knees is not a bad reach I think may be spot on, didn’t catch that. I thought it was also a reference to how often when ppl go to prison they convert to being muslim and many of them pray 5 times a day.
THIS. IS. WHY. JAY. IS. THE. GOAT
His pen game is mind blowing that nigga different
Thanks for this extra layer on the bar. So good
fella knees while talking bout prison fire
This is the best review y'all have ever put out hands down! I was so mf hype the whole time! GOATSSS
2nd best** DAMN still number 1 lol
Ain't no way yall are two years late to a ye album. Still here for it tho😭!!
There’s an hour long version on Patreon that went up 2 days after Donda dropped.
@@ლ.ლ-ნ7ძ only 1 hour? was it edited? Why didn’t they drop it on YT sooner then just curious
@@yeezy7905 their Patreon videos are exactly the same as the RUclips ones they just drop sooner, they probably withheld the RUclips upload bc they got so many new patrons from the video being only on there for so long

mallory bros pulled a kanye and released this reaction much later than we thought😂
🤣🤣🤣, true. They made us wait
Watched this on Patreon more than 5 times and I’ll gladly watch it again
when Terrell actually admits that a Ye album is great... it's great. (even tho they all are)
I can’t believe there’s people out there who genuinely think “Kanye can’t rap” like damn people really don’t know Kanye like us fans do it’s crazy
@32:37 T said “ and you look like you work for John Deer, you look like you sell tractors and look rumdum dum rumdum dum you boi” 😂 you killed me 🤣
