[@JahNgomba-ir2zi]

It’s perfect transition song because Jail’s beat is saying Dondas name

[@IceKoldKilla]

When "The Life of a Party" leaked, it was huge. It wasn't on the album originally but I think Drake famously leaked it thinking it would hurt Kanye but he hurt Andre more. He was disappointed to see how the world was exposed to it first. I will say the song makes me cry. No two ways about it. I lost my mom in 2021 due to cancer. I was 28. It's been real tough as she was a single parent. The only person that truly cared in my family. And now she's gone. No guidance. And I'm not religious or anything but I wish she could hear me. So I pretend she can sometimes, just to have a conversation with that voice of her inside my head. It's sucks. I know what she would say but she isn't here. Hearing Andre speak to Donda asking for his own mother who's also passed away... It hits me... And DMX at the end is also a beautiful moment that just makes me cry. What I would've done for a father like that.... One that was there... Even just sometimes...

[@Shootp90]

You matter bro. I know this type of thing is heavy to write and I wanna tell you I read every word. I wish you the best of luck in life bro. You’re doing great, and deep inside, understand your mother has guided you through the last 3 years. Take some time to reminiscence about some great memories today.

[@CuttingGrass___]

Ur strong bro, u really are

[@Culterin]

The beautiful thing is that even if you never had a father like that (I also didn't), you still have the chance to BECOME that kind of father for your future kid 🙏

[@lylebob]

Listening back. Still a classic album! Don Toliver has been supernova hot sense then! I forgot he did the hook on Moon, i trance out when hearing it every time. Definitely deserved a Grammy in the last few years. Appreciate y’all reacting to this joint! 🔥vid

[@moodindigo445]

Imma be honest: this is a Top 3 favorite Kanye project for me. Not saying it is in any kind of objective Top 3, but I love the gospel vibes, Come To Life and Lord I Need You being it's main (beautiful) examples, and less direct on Hurricane. What's opposite of that? Sht like Off The Grid, God Breathes, Junya, Heaven and Hell, hardest stuff ever. And I love everything in between, Jail so addictive, Moon so gorgeous

[@moodindigo445]

"Donda" most underrated interlude ever. "Life Of The Party" greatest bonus track ever. & Jesus Lord's raw emotion

[@moodindigo445]

[@thenamestobi]

Feels good to hear this album again, good upload bro

[@benjaminnorth6626]

superbowl postgame! thanks for this immaculate timing

[@zachmarostica9264]

My first Kanye album experience ever. One of the most special and over hated albums ever. Not perfect but if Kanye condensed the track list from 24+ songs to the strongest 13-15 I think it would be his best work. The gospel and futuristic production sends me into a different dimension. For me it is the most calming album ever and I’ll love it forever

[@JohnnySensei7]

Still his best album lol I cant think of 3 songs that shouldn’t be on Donda

[@zachmarostica9264]

@@JohnnySensei7 I would take out remote control, tell the vision, and all the pt2's(or make the pt2's the original song like keep my spirit alive). That would probably make it about 20 songs and it would be by far my favorite album. If you took off tracks like junya, ok ok, and Jonah also I think it would make the album more cohesive imo. not that those are bad tracks but I just don't think they are special and don't add anything to the album which is why its considered "bloated". but I'm not gonna question the greatest artist of all time and I still love the album lol

[@byronjoelrodriguez7295]

Ik its not a very popular opinion but this just might be my fav kanye album. Its not his best but it sure does mean a lot to me. I dont really fw him anymore but man this record is special. Cannot wait to see the reaction vid. Love the vids guys. much love

[@AubreyPatricks]

It’s crazy how even if you don’t really like this genre of music it still gives you such a special feeling of joy and comfort. In my opinion this album is a great example of art. It brings out amazing senses of joy and is able to remind of memories that you haven’t accessed in a while

[@CortisolCrusader]

moon is my absolute favorite track ive heard in a long time, I've been somewhat consistently listening to it for 2 years its just so peaceful

[@azsultan_]

Donda rollout is one of the best ever! I wish Kanye continued the momentum and didn’t miss up in 2022. 😢

[@voicessamples7396]

Jail part 2 is criminally underrated. I love Jay, but damn, dababy is from the heart. You can feel the frustration, whatever you think about him.

[@blahblahblah9267]

You probably hear this all the time, but your dad is a legend. It's so dope that he's tapped into the culture enough to recognize so many samples and references on first listens on all your guys' reactions.

Watching y’all listen to Pure Souls was a whole vibe. Y’all make me happy . I can’t say it enough. I’ve been watching y’all all day. This my new channel.

[@zakariahmardon5702]

love watching you guys vibe to this. I appreciate the hard work you did to get this done in time for Vulture szn. and especially the commitment of doing the deluxe 😂😂nah fr tho I just realised from watching this that this is one of my favourite Ye albums and I honestly agree with your pops in that Ye's music has only gotten better thru the years. Can't wait to see y'all react to vultures - get ready. Big ups from Australia !

[@ldc543]

‘I wonder how many people heard this song and it changed their lives’ 😂😂😂 I’m laughing because of the conviction and straight face he had when he said it

Kanye never left his prime. Everything from Donda to vultures 2 is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Shootp90]

I’ve cried 4 times so far watching this shit. 3 from the songs and one from your dad showing your sons note about him. Stg lol. As your dad mentioned, Donda was so articulate and wise. How could he not look towards his mom, shit I’m surprised there wasn’t a “Donda” album 10 YEARS ago. You could tell he really meant it when he looked up to her this album.

[@Shootp90]

These truly do feel “inspired” like your dad said. Anyway, can’t wait for the vultures reaction lol (maybe even MUSIC?)

[@narcosu2088]

Man the more I come back to this album the more I realize how great it is

[@ohwni]

Man, I am beyond proud y’all made it to album 10 fr. The only issue I got with this one is that the original tracklist (normal Donda, not the Deluxe album) had so much more structure and a story to it fr… Regardless, much love to both of y’all and I’m happy that y’all enjoyed journey as much as I did!

[@Beebos]

Donda such a special album I'm glad y'all appreciated tracks like Come to Life and 24

the reaction of your dad in come to life is so cute!!!!!!

[@IceKoldKilla]

For anyone who is on the fence with the song Jail, I suggest you find one of many versions on KZbin where they mix the drums in. Something that clearly was there originally yet taken out to simplify the song. Something Kanye has learned to do in recent years. Less layers.

[@aryanvaage4980]

The Donda chant is actually Donda’s last heartbeats, but using his moms name, Donda

[@MatadorShifter]

I'm surprised you skipped Jada's verse on Jesus Lord Pt 2 but your dad's reaction to it was just the same as mine. Minus the shed tears, it felt very personal at times. Donda might be Kanye's best lyrical work in his career. It mirrors his human part of someone who has been mostly presenting himself as a bigger than life superhero

Glad for the album reaction but the deluxe track list is killin me

24 is so beautiful bro wtf

[@binodthehammer]

i'm so happy you guys are gonna do some pop smoke. i've been asking for so long lol. i really hope you guys do his first 3 albums because they are all BANGERS. his first one is just raw talent and power, his second one shows how he can evolve his sound into something better and adding melodies, and his third showcases his versatality and mainstream potential. for that reason i'd want you to start with Meet The Woo and work your way thru his first 3 projects. i'm sure pops will like him especially since he liked 50 cent. Rip to the Woo

[@needlessmoose8055]

24's such a special track. Y'all didn't mention it, but it's a tribute to Kobe. Kanye's talked about recording the song just a few days after the accident and how he cried making the song.

Yo yall should do an album tier list where you rank dad's favourites. would be interested to see which really left a mark on him the most

Only thing that really bothers me about this is the Pt. 2’s. Just find them unnecessary but I LOVE God Breathed, Believe What I Say and Jail. At least he’s always giving us something different at the end of the day. Much love y’all. Keep up the bangers. ❤️‍🔥
