The audible ‘nooo’ that came out of my mouth when you said you we’re listening to the deluxe 😂

why?

[@lizzofan6921]

@ the deluxe version is listed with a random tracklist which is different from intended

[@rubysings7738]

Wwwww pfp🙏🏼

[@AsherneZ]

Come To Life is my favorite, and Donda is my favorite album of all time. The wierd "Tell The Vision" song was a song put on the album for Pop Smokes family so they can get royalty from that song.

[@zakariahmardon5702]

The disparity between this and Bob the Poppop's reactions loooollll This my personal fav Ye project, even though I think Yeezus is his best

[@Adam_fullarton]

Bob just humms 3 seconds into a kanye song and decides he dont like it sadly

[@xulqarnaen]

I usually love his reactions and the perspective he brings into every album, I was so disappointed when he just trapped himself like a fool in his own conception of the album and just didn't pay attention to what the songs actually stood for leaving himself disappointed for not having met his own expectations

[@Migueeel__]

​@@xulqarnaenso true. For me bob is one of the best reaction youtubers because he analyzes everything almost, but sometimes he wants something to sound or be like he wants it to be

[@roryroryroryroryrory]

i agree with bob that the album is unfocused, but i still really enjoy nearly every song. also i love bob so i could never hate him 😺

Come to life is such a beautiful song definitely up there

[@devvyontop]

The rollout for this album was one of, if not, the best. Absolutely insane time to be a music fan. Also it was one of the fastest growing albums (listens wise) in the first few days of its release.

[@insufficient-dove]

[@FlowetryMotion]

Thank you for the kind words! 🙏 I really appreciate you for being here! ❤️

[@knickdev]

You’re the ONLY KZbin music reactor I genuinely enjoy. Please never change. My only “pet peeve” is that you add cuts sometimes during the songs. I always like it when KZbinrs keep the actual music reaction completely uncut, lemme know what you think though.

[@FlowetryMotion]

Ayyy, thank you I appreciate you! And If I make any cuts im only cutting out a chorus that's usually been played at least twice already, or the end of the song that drags for awhile! I try and be strategic with it!

[@hcaeryks]

i agree, he's the best rn, and i dont mind the cuts

[@knickdev]

@ yeah I def notice your strategic with it which I really appreciate and think is smart. It’s just, personally, I like just listening to the full songs, especially if it’s my first time also hearing the song, idk why I just like it. But keep up the good work. You HAVE TO do Late Registration soon! It’s my FAVORITE album by Kanye and maybe of ALL TIME. It’s amazing and I think you’ll love it.

[@FlowetryMotion]

Yeah I gotcha! There's really no penalty for having no skips! I just don't want people to get bored of the chorus after it's playing for the third time! And I've heard the trilogy from Kanye, but it's been such a long time! I'll be revisiting those once I listen to the rest of the Kanye projects I haven't heard yet! I honestly can't wait tho!

one of the best album rollouts of all time 🔥 2021 was an amazing year

[@Kryptonized-m3l]

the title 24 is a tribute to Kobe yes

[@Cyberboy2077]

marilyn manson was on the background vocals of Jail when I found out that shit I was like holy shit legendary fr

[@matthewfa1641]

Jail part 2 not jail

[@Aldiquichepopcorn]

When you talked about 24 at the end saying that you thought it was gonna be about Kobe your actually correct. The song mainly serves as a tribute to him and the part where they repeat gods not finished is referencing a quote of his

[@FlowetryMotion]

Ohhhh, That makes sense! I connected some of the dots 😂 Thank you for the information ❤️

[@urbz4349]

The song "Heaven And Hell" is actually a finished version of a song that was named "Future Sounds", that song was given to Travis by kanye and ended up being telekinesis. So kanyes verse on heaven and hell was in the early stages meant to be on a early version of telekinesis

[@shaqbrowny]

Never knew that 🔥

[@FlowetryMotion]

That's actually crazy! Lol Heaven and Hell was insane, idk if it would've sounded better on Telekinesis

Fun fact about the song Heaven and Hell, the verse you hear in the song was taken from the original version of Telekinesis on UTOPIA which was previously Kanye’s song before being given to Travis Scott

Donda is amazing. And has aged great, it was such an era. It has a few misses cause it's more like a compilation but man if it doesn't have some of my favorite Ye songs. "Come to Life" is top 10 Ye for me. And I agree Heaven and Hell was one of my favs and is underrated.

The roll out to this album was something SPECIAL. I remember listening to the Apple Music livestream of the events held for the project. It was so dope to hear the progression and changes as he completed the album. The visuals were amazing and added to the spectacle that is DONDA.

[@FlowetryMotion]

I saw a lot of comments about the roll out. Damn I wish I would've paid attention! This album is incredible imo

[@starzindaskyz]

Carti used to sound like this. The Carti already listened to is the "new" one. He just changed the ton of his voice. And this album is fully censored. There's no explicit version. Because this album is named after his mom's name and like "808s & Heartbreak" he censored or didn't say any bad words because his mom hated that

tell the vision is pretty much another version of Pop Smoke's Tell the Vision which is an actual full and finished song. but i like the leaked versions of kanyes tell the vision tbh

[@robuser9812]

Tell the Vision is intentionally rough and eerie. It represents Pop Smoke speaking from the dead. He’s saying “mama, I made it.” Which is ironic, because the same lifestyle that made him famous on earth is the same lifestyle that sent him to heaven

Donda is such a great album; some songs are bangers and others are tear jerkers. 9/10

[@Kryptonized-m3l]

really hope u react to Donda 2 aswell gotta be a curated and handpicked version with most of the finished songs tho

[@særgeeooh]

So I think 'Tell the Vision' is supposed to symbolize a message from Pop Smoke from the afterlife, this is just my interpretation but it sounds like when you call the dead and this is the answer you get from him, the signal is blurry and not clear (although they had clear as crystal stems for this) so it sounds like he's talking from another world.

[@FlowetryMotion]

That's actually a really cool concept if so!

[@særgeeooh]

@@FlowetryMotion yes there's a lot of storytelling in the production but you have to be in a certain mood to understand it. For example notice how Jail ends with the metallic drums, and it's only at the end of the song, that's to symbolize you just arrived to jail (after hearing the entire song 'guess who's going to jail tonight') and you're on the hall listening to other inmates hitting the metal bars. Then God Breathed makes you feel like you're in solitary confinement, a black room alone with your thoughts, echoey chorus, maniac screams and very gritty bass. Then Off the Grid feels like prison break, Carti and Fivio breaked in and got out and you're on pursuit to going 'off the grid', Hurricane feels like redemption and a moment of calm after the storm you let behind, notice how in Close to Life he ends the album (No Child Left Behind is just an end interlude) with 'so when I'm free, I'm free', but he doesn't claim he is free yet, or how in Up from the Ashes he cuts the choir at 'Been set f---'. It's really clear he was trying to break from his shadow during Donda but eventually failed as you might have noticed during V2. He even said that in an interview before V1 that he tried to be more in tune with Christianity but couldn't as he felt abandoned by God, that's what led him back to his shadows.
