Should we listen to "Donda", Kanye West's new album?
It was a real soap opera. Many times announced, ceaselessly postponed, "Donda" the new album of rapper Kanye West was finally released this Sunday.
Prayer rapped on a scintillating organ No child left behind (no child will be left behind), co-produced by the French Gesaffelstein, is one of the highlights of this tenth album whose structure is as labyrinthine as its release was.
A publicity stunt orchestrated by those who consider themselves, you will hear, as the greatest rock star on the planet!
Since this interview on the BBC, 7 years ago, we could say that Kanye now considers himself a blockbuster type "Star Wars"
With this principle of interminable teasing, and the sale of many derivative products. As a result, even before being available Kanye West's 10th album was already grossing millions.
As in this title where he staged himself, flying above the clouds, Kanye offered himself a blockbuster live to present his record, or an end-of-year show with a Hollywood budget, it depends on the opinion. Literally ignited during the last public listening to the album in a Chicago stadium. A crazy thing never equaled for the release of an album.
But in the end, does the music live up to the show?
Yes, well composed, well sung, the album is quite successful. With Jay Z in particular, he displays gold-plated features like the Canadian star The Weeknd on the hovering Hurricane. And he impresses with the searing Off the Gridd feat. Playboi Carti & Fivio Foreign.
On the other hand, other participations are much more controversial like that of DaBaby, rapper considered homophobic, which became famous during the listening of Chicago. Another provocation from Kanye, ephemeral support for Donald Trump, who puts parts in the controversy machine. Without forgetting to break the internet by dint of buzz with his "ex-ex-wife" Kim Kardashian.
So Kanye West does not think he is God but takes inspiration from the new culture inherited from series like Game of Thrones, he has become a story that everyone grabs.
