Kanye West Watch The Throne Cruel Summer Yeezus The Life Of Pablo Ye.Kanye West is seen at a Donda listening event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Jin Atlanta, Georgia.One of the most influential and critically lauded artists of the early 21st century, Kanye West went from hip-hop beatmaker to worldwide hitmaker as his production work for artists such as Jay-Z led to a major-label recording contract and, ultimately, a wildly successful solo career that counted an unbroken string of chart-topping, multi-platinum albums and nearly two-dozen Grammy Awards for. Here is the complete discography of Kanye West, including all albums, mixtapes. All ten of his studio albums have been certified at least gold in. West has sold 21 million albums and 100 million digital downloads worldwide. American rapper and record producer Kanye West has released ten studio albums, two collaborative studio albums, one compilation album, two live albums, one video album and four mixtapes.
He scraps whole albums and then churns out new ones in a couple weeks. He seems to draft songs around shifting album release dates instead of fully-realized artistic visions. Price of admission for listening to the record: nearly two hours of your time.The issue with his recent music is that of late, Kanye's process has stymied his biggest ideas. And then, maybe, you gave his new album a spin.
He premiered the single, "Love Lockdown," on his blog, then tweaked it days later based on negative fan reception."Your prayers have been answered!" he wrote on his blog. Then, between tour dates in the fall of 2008, Kanye recorded 808s & Heartbreak in three weeks, a vessel for his emotions boiling since his mother's death and breakup with his fiancée. During the Glow In The Dark tour, the one with the spaceship and N.E.R.D., the rapper began to explore bending his voice with pitch-correction technology, initially so he could sing T-Pain's chorus on "Good Life" live. This quality control issue also plagues Donda, a gargantuan album full of gestures at interesting music, that rarely sticks the landing on any of them.Incidentally, the last time Kanye wrote an album tied to his mother was his first foray into a frenzied recording process. Since the excellent Yeezus, the albums have come out messy and bloated, like 2016's The Life Of Pablo, or slight and half-finished, like ye and Jesus Is King.
That outro to the intro is one of Kanye's best and most indulgent, earned through piercing songwriting and textural study.A similar meandering choir outro returns on Donda, on the song "God Breathed." By comparison, it functions more like melatonin. It opened with a song that flung fantasies and crash-landing lovers through cold Auto-Tune, then stretched out with a haunting wordless choir for several minutes. "A post shared by THE YEEZY ZONE - Fanpage was loaded up with dejected pop hooks and a chilly sonic palette. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it.
Many of them feel empty, like Silicon Valley aphorisms or the concept of "free thinking."What sets Donda apart from recent Kanye releases (beyond being 35 minutes longer than the last three combined) is that it seems destined for radio play. These songs are almost predictable: Insert beat switchup here, insert rolling guitar solo there. Across the first half, we sit through moments of magic — the operatic "Jail," Young Thug's slinking verse on "Remote Control" — and earsplitting failure — Jay-Z's verse on "Jail," the lifeless "Ok Ok." Much of Donda is a weak amalgamation of several bygone eras of Kanye the buzzing stomp of "Heaven and Hell," for instance, aspires for grandness and intrigue a la "Flashing Lights," but comes off more as self-parody. Donda's lethargic sequencing reveals how these prestige-rap cues are not always a formula for good music.
