God's Country: The Kanye West Album That Evolved Into Donda

i feel like you have no hair and you have a wig and fake eyebrows on

well buddy do i have a surprise for you

[@lestor0404]

I think it would have been so cool if this had come out, the dark vibe of it was so appealing

[@JMartinJ]

I love Donda cause its dark although it has some optimism within all the chaos. Wouldve been dope for him to go all the way dark though for sure

[@nabiltoumi7202]

I hope the "God's Country" snippet is given to Travis and will be released on Utopia or Dystopia or whatever it has so much potential , anyways Nice vid as usual you never miss!

Wash us in the blood had me so excited. At the time, Yeezys was my fav album at the time so the Christian industrial sound was really cool to hear. My current fav is TLOP so DONDA is still great for me

[@NxcturnalSounds]

Wash us in the blood is top 10 kanye imo

[@scnojohnson9645]

Gods country is such an appealing and interesting album, the dark vibe surrounding it was great, the singles/ leaks were awesome and I wish it did come out but classic Kanye, scrapping an album

[@scnojohnson9645]

Not to mention. The match was sick

[@Barnacle]

Scrapped =/= ReWorked If it got released, DONDA probably would have never came to be.

[@scnojohnson9645]

@@Barnacle I consider it scrapped because the songs from gods country that were kept are completely different, also the aesthetic was different. Just like you WOULDNT consider Yeezus 2 to be tlop reworked.even if some songs from it got kept, the songs were completely changed and the aesthetic, attitude, and direction of the album were different

[@dgan2887]

fun fact: kanye has dropped 2 albums in the past few years and travis hasn’t dropped since 2018

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

Your description of JIK is spot on. It's his most polarizing album. There's a lot of questionable choices, but there's something about the album that seems genuine.

[@ros_berth]

Future Sounds/Bounce is a great song, it kinda evolved to Heaven And Hell, but I still hope it makes it on Utopia

[@mix3k818]

Hard for me to count it as an evolution tbh, it feels like a vastly different song, much like how when Can U Be turned into Waves. It feels more like it morphed into something completely different.

[@mix3k818]

Tilo Ah, I see.

[@VoiceActingGod]

its def not, the license isn't allowed for large record labels. It was for sale for independent artists. I just bought a license for that song. If Kanye were to use it it would go against the contract from Kingsway.

[@Touchthesky76]

This aged well. Not the responses tho

[@dylanbaron__]

Unpopular opinion but the lack of perceived ‘effort’ and the iPhone recorded vocals are what makes JIK so good. Instead of making some epic magnum opus with the choir like I and others were expecting he stripped it back and made something so raw and hastily put together that not even he had done it to that degree yet

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

I completely agree, it's the most Anti- Kanye album.

[@kadenheldt5590]

If he would’ve dropped Yandhi at full strength it would be the greatest album of all time.

[@TheGreatChad88]

Some stuff made it to UTOPIA

[@Lilbeef1]

It’s so weird too lol at the og Donda track list and see so many track we have now, makes me wonder what these sounded like before the studio sessions

Jesus Is King was a breath of fresh air for me personally. I love the album, it’s far from perfect but I believe that’s the point

[@thunderstruck2063]

Future bounce just go so hard. Love your vids keep it up!

[@str1ve305]

I think what threw a lot of people off, myself included, was to have Kanye’s brash style of rapping combined with Gospel music. It’s like that feeling of having one of your friends do a freestyle rap in church, and you’re just hoping and praying he doesn’t accidentally let out a few swear words. And I think that’s what made the record odd. But you get used to the pureness of it after a few listens. Donda however, is the natural progression of that, and I think it’s a style that best combines his brash sense with his new rebirth. Plus the fact that he took out the swear and n words out of the final version, means you can play all these hard songs like Off the Grid at church. So in a way, no way could Donda exist without Jesus is King.

[@timcoetzee]

crazy vid bro, im a massive kanye fan and i still learnt something new from this. keep it up

respect for the Jesus is King love. Outside of Closed on Sunday (only song I skip), it's not a bad record. It's a pretty decent listen front to back and doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

great video bro !

[@johnlindsay7301]

I agree with your appreciation of Jesus is King. It’s actually one of my favorite Kanye albums. I pretty much enjoy all the tracks save for Hands On. I just can’t get into that track. But even the track Closed on Sunday I have found enjoyable. It used to be a skip for me. But not anymore. I love the tempo and vibe. The rest of the album is fire. And it compliments “ye” really well. I usually play them back to back to give me an experience that equals the length of a regular album but instead I get two short yet really strong albums.

[@k-dawgwestmore4643]

The hook on Closed on Sunday is corny but the verses are super deep and powerful

[@okwals9734]

Yeah, I know I'll sound crazy, but JIK is definitely in my top 3 Kanye albums (and I even think it might be my #1). I guess it's probably largely because I was lucky enough not to hear the Yandhi leaks before hearing JIK. I genuinely love the album, partially due to its short length (I just like shorter albums more), and I guess the fact that I'm a Christian myself makes the lyrics more relatable to me. I do agree though, 'Hands On' is one of the tracks that I liked the least, but I feel like it's still pretty solid. Honestly, my biggest issue with the album is that Kanye took off Cudi's verse from 'Everything We Need' (even after changing the theme of the track a bit, that verse would still fit there just fine).

[@k-dawgwestmore4643]

@@okwals9734 Dang bruh, Hands On is one of my favorite songs from that album. I love how he starts off that song talking about police brutality so you’re like “Oh Hands On is about the police putting their hands on innocent people” but then the song ends with “But I have a request, you see/Don't throw me out, lay your hands on me/Please, pray for me” Really powerful subversion imo
