WEBVTT - KD Helped Approve DONDA

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Kanye finally drops his album God it's been you know

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that Universal made him drop it like they.

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Just did it in post.

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was upset. Yeah, it's probably, in my opinion,

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the best thing that he's done in a decade, in

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a decade since My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy.

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Really, I'm not going that quite that far. I did

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 2>like it a lot.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I loved it, and it's long.

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's very long.

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Twenty seven songs of heat. I mean the parts an

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>hour fifty. It's an hour fifty. The park twos are

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>basically the same as the part ones. But that's fine.

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm okay.

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Is it just different lyrically?

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I think a few have like maybe an extra feature,

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>so yeah.

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 1>But there is a basketball angle to this. And the

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>thing that I thought was interesting was this long ass

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>production of Donda. It was supposed to drop a year ago.

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>It had been in production before that for two years.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's been in an out of mental facility,

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.480
<v Speaker 1>so I know it's hard to record when you're going

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>through things, but it's been a long time coming. Divorce, divorce,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>mental breaks, all that. Yeah, just being around Kardashians in

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and out hard on the productivity.

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Scale.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine your productivity plummets when you're.

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Around them unless you're Devin Booker.

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Unless you're Devin Booker, only him, only him. Kind But

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 1>apparently the basketball angle is that Kanye reached out to

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>none other than Kevin Durant for his seal of approval

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>on Donda. What just Katie smoking weed listening to hour

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and fifty of Boom Boom, you know, it's such a

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>great album, just discussing the Donda Donda chant, like that

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Donda chant. I had to get past like fifty seconds of.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Donda Donda Donda.

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, I get it. That's and four

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>seconds is enough for me to know what this is

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>about to be.

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just it's just an opener that just you're

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 2>just always gonna skip. You're never going to listen to

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>that other than the first listen.

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>First listen, four seconds skip. Okay, this is my review

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>of the album. I'd like to hear yours. It sounds

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>like we're on the same page. My doorman fucking hated it.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I expected it to be a lyrical masterpiece,

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics of Kanye from college drop out. I was like, listen, listen, fam.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say this very clearly. The demarcation point

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>of Kanye is his mother's passing away, and you're not

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>getting the Kanye that was in existence before that.

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>No, no, what, it's gone, He's dead.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 1>That person is gone.

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean absolutely one hundred percent. The people that

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>like try to say that, like, oh, like I just

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>want the bars. The bars aren't there. Like, it's time

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to stop thinking of Kanye like as that. He's more of,

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Like you've got to think of it as him more

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>of just like a composer, correct, And like yeah, like

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the beats, the features that he put together and produced

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>like all that, all of it culminates in one project,

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and that's what you have to look at it as

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>think about Like it's not bar heavy.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Correct, it's it's an orchestral masterpiece.

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>The music on it was so good, the layers of

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>how the music is so forward facing. It's complete opposite

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of normal rap records, right like it like usually the

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>beat is sort of layered in with the vocals. This,

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the vocals were so far behind the music it felt

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>like you were inside of Like have you ever been

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to one of those sensory deprivation tanks.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 2>No, but I kind of see what you mean, Like.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>That, right, and you get out of the sensory deprivation

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>tank where they literally all the light and all the

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>sound is gone for like an hour and fifteen minutes,

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and you get out of the tank and you're just

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>like whoa, whoa. You know, everything smells heavier, everything is

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>brighter colors. It's just like that was Donda, like it

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>was felt it felt like you're inside of a tube

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>of music. Yeah.

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just thought like it was the perfect

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>blend of like like gospel music, which he clearly like

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>wants to make and he did with the last album

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Jesus King. It's like a good mixture and that was

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>just too Jesusy for me, Like I just tried to

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't into that, but I considered it his first miss ever.

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>But I think this was like the right blend of

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 2>like secular music and that.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I did not expect us to go into

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>like a religious breakdown, but that's totally right. I think

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 1>it's like I'm not looking for Kirk Franklin. I'm okay

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>with like ge Sus Walks, that's fine, or like if

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for Jesus, I forget how this song broke

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.799
<v Speaker 1>broke down on this recent album. It's like fine, yeah, yep,

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that's like as long as I can get you could

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>say anything murred, like it just is the music. It

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>could be literally any word and that's fine. It's just

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you can't think about this lyrically in any way, Like

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it's just song. It's just a sonics. He's just like

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a sonical sonically. I don't know what I'm saying, but

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like a the sound of the music is all

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you're really looking for. The words don't matter at all,

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're not a religious person.

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Like sick lyrics. Sig bars on it too, like it's

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>not to completely take away from that. And I love

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>the Weekend features, Yes, like those are great. Hurricane was great,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 2>j Z feature great. Yeah, the song Moon You had

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Kid Cutty on it too, like that song.

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Kids song for Kid Cuddy.

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, Yeah.

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Who got shaded? Chris Brown got shaded? Apparently he sent

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>some vocals in. They didn't make the track Soldier Boy

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Rip Soldier Boy's career. He apparently sent some vocals in,

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't make didn't make the album Chances and on It

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Chances and on it. A lot of people hot because

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>they sent their ship over and they thought it was

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna make it. But truthfully, the album's not really complete

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>because Kanye didn't sign off on it. So maybe if

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it was up to him, those features would have made

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I think it's one of Kanye's best albums.

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the perfect to me, the perfect blend of

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>ato eights and heartbreaks and my beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Like it's sort of like that orchestral but also techno,

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>like a very electron on a heavy like some of

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the some of the old sounds. I was like, oh,

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard this sound from Kanye in a minute. Yeah.

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it was kind of more like more like

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Jesus and tlop. Yeah i'd had a child, yep. Yeah see.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a mix of kind of all of those, yeah,

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>in a beautiful way. And I'm proud of Kanye because

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>when you've gone through as much as he's gone through

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and you put out twenty seven fucking songs that are

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a work of art like this dude, when he's fully healthy, unstoppable.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah,
