Quick review of the bonus tracks:
Jodye is a nice track, goes on for a little to long in my opinion but it's solid. Like Ghetto Symphony more, amazing beat, great verses, really strong cut. Angels is decent, nothing to crazy. I Come Apart is a pretty nice song, wouldn't have thought that A$AP and Florence would work so well together but here we are, really nice song. The remix ain't on the CD so I'll just ignore that. Overall some good songs that don't really elevate ... read more
LONG.LIVE.A$AP is a album that is filled to the brim with basically everything you could desire. It has amazing production, amazing rapping, straight up bangers, introspective cuts, an awesome feature list... it just does everything really well. The title track sets the tone for the album and does so in style, really cool chorus, production and rapping are top notch, a great opener. Goldie is a tad weaker in my opinion, still a good track, but gets outshined for example by the following PMW, ... read more
I still know how I just randomly looked on the site when this released and everyone was praising this album, saying it was easily an AOTY contender.

I think this is a really tough album to rate for a few reasons. First, it is really long, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I think there are tracks that could've been cut to make Donda sound more cohesive. Then there are the pt 2's, I don't know why they are here, they're unnecessary in my eyes and just worsen the listening experience. Like yes, Jesus Lord is a amazing song, no, I don't need to listen to it two times on the same album but one version has a ... read more
One of those albums that you can just give a 100 and no one will question it. It's probably one of the best hip hop projects of all time and incredible from start to finish. Even more incredible is the fact that you could make the argument that it isn't even Kanye's best album, heck, not even in his top 3 and it wouldn't be that bold of a take. Mr. West needs no introduction and we all know the controversies surrounding the man, to put it lightly. While we will have to wait ... read more
