>There’s no Silicon Valley-speak that can explain why Kanye should have released any music in this shape. It’s not ready or complete and one can only speculate that he was racing to meet some kind of external deadline, like the Netflix documentary or the new Yeezy Gap and Balenciaga collaboration. If so, that would align with the direction Kanye has been headed for a minute now: Music as a way to boost visibility for ventures that make him way more money. Like many, I have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that Kanye West, the rapper who made The College Dropout and Late Registration and so many more labors of passion and love and emotion, would reach the point of releasing anything as hollow as Donda 2 (V2.22.22 Miami). Every now and then, he can still crank out his signature sweeping production or drop a line that stops you in your tracks. But no minor edit or revamped version of Donda 2 can conceal the album’s inherent flaw: It is presented as a revolutionary work but it is decidedly a non-event.

It's crazy to me how Pitchfork makes all this money but they still hire untalented hacks who write like your average college newspaper critic

You don't make it on merit alone

ha ha holy shit its real, p4k finally turned on kanye

Based

>but it is decidedly a non-event.
Kanye's buzz is at an all time high while pitchfork's relevance is at an all time low. All his albums are charting again. They're so desperate to bury him with their negative reviews. It didn't work with the first donda and it definitely won't work this time.

Damn, this album must be incredible

kek

this take will age terribly. The album is a mess, but in the future we will all be mixing music with stems – probably not with stem players™ – likely on streaming platforms – but that is the future. The listener as producer. The album is trash and the gimmick was a cash grab but the idea is ahead of its time.

The average music listener doesn't know what stems are nor do they care to "mix" their own music. That's not the future. The market definitely doesn't show any signs of wanting to have that en masse, especially as a listening experience.

Yeah I can't even be contrarian and pretend this is good, what the actual fuck?

I believe we are years out from it – but the demand is there, if hidden. Every day someone uploads a new "slowed and reverb" of a song on youtube for easy views. Imagine if you could adjust that in Spotify directly.

It's an industry issue; people don't release/license stems, they license songs.

It's an Artist issue – because most musicians treat albums as untouchable finished works to not be screwed with; and that's great, but it isn't the only way to be.

And it's an interface issue – but add those options to the interface and people who never touched an editing software will play around with it and fall in love.

this is the only song most people like though. all the half assed trap songs with future and migos are the weak tracks

Yes, some fucking retard. Nobody cares

I don't respect you

it's the future

What do you think soundcloud is? Its not the future because it already happened and its been happening. This is obscured by charts that favor a bunch of listeners listening en masse to one artist over 1000 listeners listening to 1000 different groups who are all doing the same type of music could be more overall and it takes serious wilful blindness to swallow the crap the industry is trying to sell. Trap would have never gotten to where it was, a dominant force in music impossible to ignore, without sites that rely on user generated content and a lot of that content is remixes so you are just objectively wrong right there buddy but go ahead keep moving the goal posts watch it bite you in the ass when it sneaks up on you that things have changed while you were pretending they weren't changing
