(MP3 Format) Reacting to "Donda" by Kanye West

Release your novels! I don't know about anyone else but I'd support! I'm currently nearing the end of writing my first one 📚

Denzel

Not to put anyone down, but Kanye fans are truly wild. I like the album alright but I sympathize and agree with most of Bob’s opinions here. Divorced from the rollout, divorced from the background info, it’s a fairly hollow album.

Will Johnson

Dude you need to check out No Hands by JVB, no one it talking about, I’m very surprised no one has recommended it to you yet

Evan Gallegos

This bummed me out a bit. Top 3 Kanye for me. Music hits different for everybody though.

Tyler Johnson

I am the only human on earth that likes Junya apparently 🤣

Bellamy Blake

Ok Ok pt. 2 is so much better than Ok Ok. Shennsea kills it.

Tyler Johnson

i've cried so much to this album, it came out around the time my father died and some of the songs specifically jonah,24, and moon, really speak to me in that regard. sucks you didn't rlly like those tracks but its ur opinion lol. overall i think if this album was shrunk down a little it'd be a all timer

Boepoe

I think the whole idea of Donda is about being free. Kanye has talked about how his mom enabled his free thinking and ideas, making her the key to his freedom. That's also why the album seems so scattered; I feel as if it's Kanye trying to make a point of "he's free to do what he wants," which is also pretty frequently pushed in his rhetoric. I also believe Kanye is aware of the idea of trying to convince himself that he's following God; Come to Life essentially encapsulates your whole perspective on Kanye's spirituality (super valid take btw) in the lyrics "Took your thoughts and penciled them in... maybe they'll come to life". Great video as always, much love!!

Gabriel Maldonado

no full faces reaction and he didn’t like donda fuck my tarded life mane 😔✊🏽

Omar Machado

Also I 100% wouldn't listen to vultures. It'd be a waste of a reaction, there's a lot of better music out there

Victor Chavez

I think this is a tough album to react to. Not only is it over an hour and a half, but a lot of the love for the album comes from the roll out. there's a lot of filler tracks

Victor Chavez

Bob if you like Fivio Foreign, you gotta listen to Pop Smoke. They were friends and have collabs together. Plus the 808’s in his production are very similar to Off the Grid!

Daniel Ortiz

I love watching people react to tell the vision LOL

Jack MacArthur

Update: my car broke down and I’m listening to this waiting to be towed.

Asch

yess finally he didn’t like it.

rambowiththebow

Have not listened to this yet but surprised to read Bob didn’t like it. It’s S tier IMO. I’ve waited so long for this. Maybe the album will grow on him over time, like it did with me. But given that reactors are constantly moving on to new content, they will never live with the music like we have.

Dave Danesh

this album is his second best next to pablo imo. the rollout was extraordinary, the atmosphere of this entire album is like Kanye had a fire in his belly again and the reasoning behind the censorship of the album is because Kanye made this album for North and didnt want any swear words

no-e the homie

Bob straight up not liking it is kind of wild did not expect that tbh. It’s aight tho everyone’s got their take, this is actually tied for my second favorite Kanye album so it definitely has a special place in my heart. Listened to it every time I drove from college back home. Glad he finally got around to listening to it tho.

Rice

Bro a Dave reaction would be insane

TanyeQuest

this is like a year before the alex jones stuff

Jerimiah Ortega

Donda is more of an atmosphere than a concept

Lance

Tbf that’s probably his first exposure to drill or something similar to drill.

あすなSwag

The story of the fivio verse is that he kept doing like 8 bars and Kanye and whoever else just kept being like alright more

M

Can’t believe he didn’t love Off the grid. I thought he would be blown away tbh

Ryan Craft

Yes! A skepta reaction would be awesome!

Samuel C

Just landed in Croatia from Vienna and was praying the whole flight that this would be up by the time I got service again Praise God

Deen Syed

The second style of Off tha Grid you liked is UK/NY Drill. Its hard to explain but Chicago created Drill music, certain artists in the roughest UK estates loved it and started to make their own version and then NY liked our style and started doing their version of it.

Been needing this since I joined

Donda

Ryleezy

I mean it is 20+ songs with some unfinished tracks. Its harder to get all the way through than most albums.

Jettpalmer

They’re playing soccer in my backyard, I think I see Messi

Lance

Oh bob, you really are santa.

Jettpalmer

Jerimiah Ortega

Oooh can’t wait to listen at work later!

Austin Stewart

Don’t know if he’s gonna like It, but I’ve been waiting for this reaction for so long. Really great to have this as a Christmas present from bob. Thank you 🙏
