It’s me, Tabbta Claus with a gift 4 months in the making: The Donda Reaction
As always, thank you everyone for the patience on this one. Obviously I explained what has been going on in the pre-intro of this video, but I finally have my creative spark back and it feels good to get this thing made regardless of how long ago Donda released (along with a Deluxe that yeah I’m not touching lmao)
Hopefully this serves as a fun relisten for everyone, love ya!

intro made me tear up. been in therapy since i was a teen and almost 7 years later i still go once a month. really happy you're doing well. stay safe! x

[@1AMRamen]

The Jonah hype is good to see, probably the most underrated track on the album imo, everyone else seems to think it's meh but it hits hard for me

[@taylormade9748]

Yes, it’s so good - ppl say it’s mid but it’s one of my favorites on the album

[@TheAndrewj96]

@@taylormade9748 Same. That hook is absolutely stunning, and easily one of the best Kanye’s had on an album in a while.

[@gilliamphipps7098]

It’s a great track! But I think it’s perhaps the song which suffers the most from censoring? It’s so tender and emotional (in both theme and sonic tone) which allows the sudden vocal cuts to stand out more than elsewhere.

[@jwalls1223]

ANOTHER ONE IS "GOD BREATHED" I THOUGHT THE SONG WAS COOL AT FIRST BUT IT JUST GETS BETTER EVERY LISTEN.. "TRUST MAN ? HE'LL FAIL YA , TRUST IN GOD HE'LL HEAL YA".. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chukwuemekaokereke2917]

I think the track is amazing lyrically and performance-wise but the production has always been kinda boring to me. Still decent though

[@marcuss.9302]

I'm glad you're doing good, Tabby. Anxiety is extremely hard to deal with, but it's good to hear that you're taking the necessary steps to make your life better. God bless you, man.

top 5???/ i think this one ne of his worst he got carried hella hard

[@Pain-is5tw]

@@reynaldoleon6118 Kanye (at least in my opinion) held his own pretty well on this album. He also had great solo songs and he produced the album so its kinda hard to get carried.

[@reynaldoleon6118]

@@Pain-is5tw Im talking when it comes to his lyricism and he wasn’t one only who produced it for example Mike Dean. Do the beats slap? sure they’re really good but his Lyrics arent. His most memorable bar is the should’ve wrote it down in pen one. He makes more religious references than bars. And I think it’s weird how he dedicated this album to his mom but the songs on them don’t paint that picture.

@@Pain-is5tw we’re all in titled to our opinion so I’m happy u enjoyed it.

[@Pain-is5tw]

@@reynaldoleon6118 well it seems to be more of a religious album which is why Kanye makes a lot of religious references. And I think Kanye had a bunch of great rap performances on this album
