Run the Jewels

Sergio Mendez

Uncensored version of Life of the Party is on Spotify as a single

Jake

WE MADE IT WE MADE IT

Shurikinney

I feel like Come to Life and No Child Left Behind really accompanies their performances in the listening parties. I reckon Kevin would love to see those.

Darcy O'Shannessy

Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino in the background is screaming at meeeee. Y'all need to do some monkeys.

Alex Davies

You should listen to the Watching the Throne Podcast's analysis of 'Tell the Vision'

Shammi Raichura

The uncensored version of Life of the Party is on Apple Music so I assume it’d be on Spotify

David Evans

perfect timing

sam martinez

Anyone know if channel orange is in the lineup? Suprised they haven’t done it yet.

Ian Phillips

Passion pain and Denton slaying. I need to hear Kevin react to that!

William Vogel

I just rewatched their circles video thinking the same thing

Ella

True!!

Ella

Sad girl summers right around the corner sooo Elliot smith? 🥸

Ella

Let´s get to the outkast catalog!

Andrez Cury Calix

ID on those grey pants? (connor)

Ryan Kennedy

Please do MM FOOD

chillsynth

Outkast would be awesome. Obviously ATLiens would be the go to, but I'd actually be curious to see the reactions for The Love Below

Torin Huff

I was gonna say after watching your Kanye journey that Outkast should be next. I'm so glad you mentioned it after hearing Andre's verse on Donda.

Zach Stavis

Itching for a Faces or GOOD:AM review

Aidan D

Gotta do please excuse me for being antisocial. Roddy Ricch so good

Ben

Please consider doing Watch the throne!

FeliciaHenrietta

I also believe the theme behind the album being named "Donda" is more subtle than a lot expected. To me, Donda is about losing your idols. Losing people we look up to (mothers, fathers, rappers, family and friends) to death and imprisonment. Donda's appearances on the album are all in a lecture form, showing that she is a figure that Ye looked up to, and he believes others should too. In a similar way, he tributes DMX, Pop Smoke, Hoover, Kobe Bryant, and the fabric of his own family. Perhaps its looking too deeply, but I think the thread that weaves Donda as an album is a lot tighter than it is given credit for.

Daniel Riley

The context of this whole project is important. For myself at least. The listening parties themselves add to the lore. Kim and Kanye having a mock wedding dance to No Child Left Behind earns its spot as the outro track imo. Might just be me but I believe if it were tagged (outro), as well as many others being tagged (Intro) or (Interlude), they would be better received.

Daniel Riley

I feel like 2001 by Dr Dre would be a good introduction to some old school rap

callumjack83

If you want more music about donda listen to momas boyfriend

DKwolf HD

Lil Wayne album please!!

BeauBlends

Tell the vision is good. I listen to it regularly. It would be better with a beat drop, but idc I can rock with an edging song

L

on GOD you HAVE to show Kevin some DaBaby!!!! :fire: :fire: :fire: Lets Gooooooo!! Hahaha!

Jack

u should show him yeat

Jack

House Of Balloons next!!!

Brendan Ellis

First video i watch on the Patreon. Really love the different experience i get on this uncut!! So cool so thank you guys!!

GOAT

Oh, and if Kevin likes Andre 3000, it would be cool to see you guys do Outkast's Stankonia. I think that's their creative apex.

Dave Danesh

This was a great ride! I always looked forward to the next one. A bit sad its over. I wonder if Kevin will find that over time, the album grows. Its easy to dismiss certain tracks the first couple listens. I think there is an intention by Kanye to get lost in the songs, in a meditative way, in a curative way. I wonder if that is where the "stale" comments throughout stem from. I wonder if the music gets stale or repetitive, or we are generally impatient listeners. Jesus is King has the same impact, for me at least.

Dave Danesh

I really wish they reacted to this song, especially the listening performance version!

TK The Producer

You have to show him Watch The Throne!!!!! That’s a gem in Kanye’s discography that can’t be overlooked.

Alan Aguilar

You forgot a bonus track!!! The Deluxe album had two songs!!! 😩

Jorge Ramirez

Would love you to do Santandave (Dave)’s Pychodrama or We’re all alone in this together, storytelling greatness, best of the UK. Love from London gents!

Ben Eades

LOVE IT GUYS!!! THANK U WE HAVE REACHED THE END! WHAT A RIDE NEVER ABANDON YOUR FAMILY WAS A BONUS TRACK I WAS HOPING TO HEAR! FITS NICE ON THE PROJECT! WORTH A LISTEN SOMETIME KEVIN\

Villuhz

when this album dropped i had recently lost my mother to an illness i found myself so lost in the world. i completely understand just how bad kanye got with his own mental health and just the raw emotions that come from the one person who has been the most supportive in your life. 24 and life of the party just hits so close to home i find myself crying everytime. i wish everyone who’s struggling get the help they deserve

Unsweetened

I think it has to do with the fact that its the longest song at 12 mins. But I 100% agree with you

Vicente Sandoval

@kevin you should listen to Jesus lord pt. 2 , imo it is slightly better than jesus lord and i like it a lot. However, it is the least streamed song on the album

hugo blankenberg

would you ever show ur dad some dababy

Jack

i see DJ Shadow in the back! if Kevin has never heard Entroducing you should react to that album too

Stephen Dietrich

I believe the female vocal on Donda (the song) is Ariana Grande

JJ Fiction

did yall skip never abandon your family? i think ur dad would really appreciate another donda west featured heart felt song about his family.

Jay

why is the audio focused on the left headphone for this video?

Zacary Newell

Would love to see you guys do A Laced Odyssey by Flatbush Zombies 🥹🥹

Isaiah Douglas

pls do Sawayama by Rina Sawayama

rufi0

throw Kanye 2049 by Toasty Digital too, that project is craaaaaaaazy

rufi0

You guys HAVE to do „Blonda“ by toastydigital. It combines Donda and Blonde in such a good way!

leolikesstuff

I think Kevin would absolutely lose his shit if you showed him "Please excuse me for being antisocial" by Roddy rich the melodies and different vocal inflections, the choir on "war baby" !! would love to see it. Keep up the great content

Jean Noel

Johnny 6 Foot😭😭

Tobias Theglev

Ever since you guys posted the poll that Illmatic won last month I’ve been super eager, now the conclusion of Kanye’s discography gives me hope 🥲

Zac

and 3.15.20

Andrew Lodge

You guys should listen to endless by Frank I think Kevin would really like it

Andrew Lodge

Anyone else think Kevin would absolutely love Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest? Surely it can’t be just me… lol

Kurt Hildorf III

Both her latest and her debut album tbh !

Killua

Guys I beg you PLEASE react to the new 070 Shake record. She's featured on a few Kanye songs like Ghost Town, and the new project is hauntingly beautiful.

D

For future reference Life of the party uncensored is on spotify if you look for the single version instead of the one on the deluxe.

Ricardo Miranda

Have you guys figured out yet that your dad was referring to “cooped up” by post Malone featuring roddy rich

Eli Devine

yall gotta do at long last asap soon!

M Abu Zalaf

In Jesus Lord, the childish type lines were because he was speaking from his childhood experiences.

BDR

Song was "Run It" -DJ Snake, Rick Ross, Rich Bryan

David Toomey

Kevin really needs to react to that

IAmLegend

I’m so happy that Kevin liked Gunn and Conway, y’all seriously need to do some Griselda 🙏🙏

Colungga

I produce music and I believe that on New Again there is a slight vocoder on it giving that more electronic/robotic feel

Nathan Fromm

Strongly seconding your idea to listen to Lauryn Hill's (very brief) discography. You probably already know most of the her songs with the Fugees, but Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is an all time classic too.

katakis1

Jesus Lord is hypnotic

Mark B

Strongly recommend that you go through the Outkast discography from the start. The first 5 albums are all classics and there's a progression there that I think enhances it all.

Chess Malone

your dad was thinking or rich brian he was listening to edamame

Dylan Hutchins

I think the song your dad is looking for is Post Malone & Roddy Ricch - Wow

Shaquan WP

A Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino reaction someday would be amazing !

Francesco

Know you guys do more hip hop focused reactions but I'm curious to see how Kevin would digest Ballads 1 by joji

Jimmy Cheney

The uncensored version of Life of the Party is on streaming services lol

Eoin

Need that Aquemini reaction

Dion

yep, hard pan to the left.

Jon Scanlon

yep - hard pan to left.

Jon Scanlon

The audio was a bit weird in this one. The left side was a bit louder when you guys were talking

Kobus Stolk

like other reviews have said, if ur in a bad place mentally , this album fucks u up emotionally. lotta black youth references that make u feel a way tbh. AND its FULL of artist speaking on their mothers. Like when Baby Keem said "a single black woman, you know she was petty". that hit, like shit, ouch.

Dan L

joey bada$$ pleaseeee

saber

You can actually find the uncensored version of Life Of The Party on Spotify. It’s released as an single, if you go on singles in ye’s discography. Also, the original version of Life Of The Party is actually a drake diss, which is the reason he leaked it. Kanye changed his verse when he released it on the deluxe version.

Marius Sand Frandsen

Never Abandon Your Family is fantastic, got some donda speech in there. I think kevin would like that one a lot.

Arsal Ali

Time to do joey badass 1999

Julius H

Please do 070 Shake! the fans will show out and your dad will love her

Aubree Nolan

Yet another Banger, but i think an Joji reaction would be killer

Daniel Cihlář

I was in the middle of commenting almost the exact same thing and I looked up and saw this new god flow is another one i'd like to see

DameDolla

Never abandon your family?????

Juan Vincent Rangel

You definitely have to do an endtroducing reaction especially since it was on the wall

Brandon

you guys should do joeybadass

truta 1025

one day you should do a video with kevin where he reacts to the kanye singles like only one and fourfiveseconds

Big Dog

Man, I see you in like every comment section of every music-related video I watch. You seem to have great taste :)

parallaz

I wish you guys had done Jesus Lord and Jail part 2s, the added verses on Jesus Lord are great and as much as the added features on Jail part 2 are controversial, they give some great performances. Also was missing up from the ashes and never abandon your family

Ogdenboy45667

pleeeeease have kevin react to bladee and/or ecco2k

Big Dog

I think the fact that Conor has little to no knowledge of the album really takes away from the reaction. His opinion kind of bleeds into Kevin’s

Eli Devine

it really shows a lot about kevin that despite only being familiar with kanye for so long he emphasises and understands his story so much.

papaollie

Please do 070 shake

24KaratGarrett

and honestly fellas dont be afraid to stray off of the album at the start and the finish, this is like a show to me so i like the banter. the foo fighters song at the end of one of them was really cool.

papaollie

hope you're feeling better connor <3

kush

i think he has mentioned that in a past video, liking how they get into specifics

Devin Johnston

i think all of us would prefer if you guys are feeling the best whenever you do these. not to be rude. its just how you guys make it the best experience possible!

papaollie

DAFT PUNK JOURNEYYY

Nyko Rivera

Yall should do Ventura by Anderson Paak. It has a ton of soul and funk and you get a banger Andre 3000 verse to start it off

Milo Stroik

So cool how Kevin instantly remembered the lyrics to Enter Galactic. Love to see how he has become a true Cudi fan. Such powerful music at any age.

David Toomey

You guys are the best. Can't tell you how much it means to me that you both appreciate Mac and Kanye like this (my two favorite artists). Would be pretty sweet if you guys reacted to Hans Zimmer one day!

dr._danimal

You guys should react to birds in the trap or astroworld

Divine

Please do JPEGMAFIA LP!

Jerome Evans

Maybe Luke Bryant was the country artist you were thinking of?

Megan Glynn

I would love to see a Reaction to Chance the rapper - Acid rap <3

Abe Raats

Kevin you should listen to the dissect Podcast on Spotify. It has seasons about yeezus, MBDTF and a few episodes where he goes really in depth explaining the themed of the album from a musical and narative point of view. You will fall Even harder in love with Kanye after that.

David Vulpe

to be honest one song i wish kanye used was "moms boyfriend" its an adoreable song plus you should hear the ORIGINAL life of the party which is more kanye talking to his mom for a bit talking about his life update with a line like "mom! your sons in the red hat ,had couple set backs, had shouldnt have said thats"

ZaNe CuDi

Made my day watching this! Hope you feel better, and take your time! I would rather watch one of your reactions once a month instead of watching ten rushed reactions from some other channel anyway! thank you!

Marcus Møller

Playboy carti

MICHAEL LEONARDO

You guys should also react to the other Donda 2 bonus tracks, up from the ashes and never abandon your family❤️

Christopher K Masters

they already did it, but much earlier before Kevin had any attachment to Donda. I'd also love to here his thoughts on it now

Elijah

Conor i love you man but you need to do some more research and preparation! Your old man is screaming for some help and direction in understanding the themes of the album and unfortunately he’s left confused. Like Kevin I was also very confused with the album seemingly not being about Donda, but with time and discussions with the community I was able to understand how much of an important role she plays. I had similar feelings about the Pablo review where Kevin understandably struggled with the chaos, but as you know this is also an album with a extremely clear theme (which is summer up with the two words repeated on the album cover). I totally respect and agree with ensuring your old mans first listen is completely unbiased but- as a huge fan of the channel- i think I speak for everyone when I say we would love to see your dad gain deeper understanding of the albums to help formulate his opinion. It also will give you both soooo much more content to discuss. Maybe it’s a quick recap of where things were at with the artist before diving in, and a follow up video a month after first listen to break it down further. “Revisiting Donda?” Anyway, love from Australia mate. My Patreon pledge ain’t going nowhere and I look forward to the next video!!

Jayden McDonogh

Oh man more Jay Electronica would be nice. Even just showing him Exhibit C, Better In Tune, Real Magic. Or his album with Jay-Z "A Written Testimony"

Nico C

DONDA 2 on STEM reaction !! Tell Alex to cut the check !!

Zar

You guys definitely should do some Outkast. Even if it's just one of Aquemini, ATLiens or Stankonia, Speakerboxx etc.

Tom

Would love to see a Never Abandon Your Family reaction

Thomas Haahr

No worries on being late <3 Hope you both are feeling better!

Queleb

BABY KEEM REACTION! love from uk

Kip Taylor

I know dad would love Stankonia

Randy

We need a Never Abandon Your Family reaction, Kevin would love it

James Zackarevicz

Need “Never Abandon your Family” I would love to see Kevin’s reaction

Owen Waring

bump

PlutoSP5DR

I always like listening to No Child left behind after Come to life because it feels like the calm after the storm after the heavy emotional weight of come to life.

Diego Medina

MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL PLS KEVIN AND CONNOR!! Fellow Canadian here from Calgary, would make my whole week to watch u guys listen to Lauryn Hill the undisputed GOAT

Nik Pitogo

is it just me or is the vid super quiet in the right ear and normal in the left?

wumbo rat

I wish they can record their reaction for the larry hoover concert that kanye did since he performed most of his famous songs!!

Sean Rodriguez

Missed out on Never Abandon Your Family off the deluxe. I love that song. Kanye really pours his heart and soul out on that song.

Justin Will

If ur looking to get a sleep mask to get the manta sleep mask, got that one a while ago and my sleeps have been godly

Jesse Hubicki

The extra Cudi reaction was a welcome surprise

RINGER 13

Man, I love every video but the last 5 seconds of this video must be the best moment of the channel ever. I laughed so hard. Kevin, you're iconic

Daniel

OutKast when?

Tyler Johnson

The original order makes more sense and has a more clear narrative. The Deluxe tracklist seems to only be that way for convenience on the physical releases

Robyn Castro

I definitely think breaking this album down and catching all the themes of freedom, jail, family, and mentorship does kinda rely on really listening multiple times and analyzing it. I understand the disappointment of the album not being fully about Donda, but I think Connor’s framing of the album as a collection of songs with random features is a little affected by the fact he doesn’t revisit it. There’s a clear narrative thru-line, and the intro and outro serve as proof of that. Quick example: Donda Chant is the opening credits leading to Jail, the intro. Come to Life ends with “So when I’m free, I’m free” which is Kanye finally coming out of Jail, leading into No Child Left Behind, the epilogue/credits as Kanye repeats “He’s done miracles on me” implying that his journey throughout the album and his freedom are only possible due to his faith. You really get a lot more out of the album too if you let yourself feel Kanye’s faith, as it is a major element of the project. That might have also hampered your enjoyment as I noticed both of you tuned out a bit whenever God or religion got brought up. I hope you two read this (Thanks in advance!) and have a nice day! Excited to see what albums you do in the future 👍🏽

Robyn Castro

Very important to understand the DMX sample when discussing life of the party. It connects the album from kanye's relationship with is mother and how that relates to his relationship with his own children.

Kenneth Kirk

I need that never abandon your family listen that song made me cry so much😭

Roberto Murillo

I really wish you'd react to all the bonus songs never abandon your family especially

Jonathan tone

I wish you reacted to Never Abandon Your Family aswell, I think it paints such a tragic picture of Kanye going through his divorce, I feel like it is essential for this era of Ye. But other than that, video is fantastic as always!

BK

awesome reaction as usual tho

Gabriel Veillet

The sound is definitely louder on the left side.. don’t know if guys noticed..

Gabriel Veillet

cannooot wait !!!!!!!ik they’re going to do it

mariana hurtado

you should have your dad react to pray for paris by WSG. i think he’ll enjoy it

irvin

If he hasn’t already i think your dad should check out the song only one by kanye about his daughter.

Jonathan baez

You both are great!!!! I'd love to see you listening to The Divine Feminine by Mac

Adrivarix

AND y’all are going Life of the Party so Kevin gets to hear some proper Andre 3000? Great decision

Deen Syed

Y'all should have done the deluxe version in its entirety because that's more of how Kanye intended it to be- thats why the tracklist order is so different... The deluxe version has a completely different feel to it... This version is all over the place because Universal released it before Kanye was ready for it to come out... they literally just threw the songs together and released it without his permission that's why he decided to do the deluxe... So this version of Donda you can say is the labels version however the Deluxe is the way Kanye wanted to release the album... That's why y'all should did that one...

Rudolph Patten

Wooo!

RINGER 13

Shoutout to Madison's Father. I lost my dad last year and we listened to that All of My Love together frequently. Also, I hope you have a really peaceful day Connor!

Lauren Godsy

HBD!!

mereba lacy

WAKE UP NEW TURNING THE TABLES REACTION DROPPED!!!

mereba lacy

best birthday gift EVAR!

Donkey

the unhinged father son sleep erection conversation alone is worth the 3 bucks a month

Elijah

Connor, we completely understand. Please do not add an extra burden on yourself by worrying about how your fans will react to you taking a needed break. I am happy that you seem able to deal with these low periods in a productive way, and that they do not last too long. You're a goat in many ways, bro.

C

Yooo this means that dad gets to react to Jay Electronica Imagine a Style Wars reaction in the future

Deen Syed

No need to apologize Conner you guys come first, we’ll wait as long as it takes.

Darius

as much as ive been waiting for this, health is way more important. i hope you feel better connor!

Victor Krajci

Also I’m curious, when searching for a vinyl template did you google search “donda” or “black”

John Alajijian

I love you guys <3

Håkon Sylte

Hope you guys are doin well !

John Alajijian

This is not a drill it’s happening

Deen Syed

Nice.
