Except for the fact that Mike Dean produces for him. Kanye curates more so than “produce”.

[@LETTMusic]

I think you pointed out something really important. There is a theme to this album. Instead of 808s and Heartbreaks, it's 808s and Organs/Choirs. So far, Donda is pacing as the worst reviewed album of Kanye's career on critic sites, and everyone is just saying there's no theme, there's no consistency, no cohesion; but I feel therein lies the issue with critics. They really aren't picking up on the production. The dragging on of songs is a valid criticism, and I guess it's a nice change of pace from songs being too short on Jesus is King; but this album is very far from one of Kanye's worst albums. There's some really beautiful moments spread throughout when he's in his singing bag. I feel it's being bashed by trolls and critics just because it's Kanye; but I haven't seen any reactions to it so far where people seem to hate it like how it's getting rated. Critics praise him when he calls himself a god and exhibits serious narcissism; but when he steps back, makes something more humble and a dedication to his mother who passed, it's a bit telling when this is the album where people choose to be their most critical, when he's at his most vulnerable.

[@katrinabataclan8848]

donda chant is raw, it says the album is donda. God breath on me makes u wanna be, calm relaxed, pray, meditate, if you been to the vatican or a big catholic church maybe you'll understand.. whole thing has a different energy, like it’s from another realm, a godly realm. thinkin bout kanye, kim, his kids, struggles, donda, during this album gets me emootional. im feelin the no cussing, cause i got kids n cant listen to nothing. to me its better than 808s because 808 was all about hurt n kinda dark. too me album feels more comforting, overcoming strife/grief. i honestly just like the energy, its very healing. i hear vibes from past albums to make something even better. album is 100!!!

Which is puzzling, cause JIK was praise to God and Donda is thematically the praise to the human spirit and evaluation of it.
