Ye kept a mask on for all three listening parties (no face, no case - word to 2 Chainz). The most refreshing aspect about seeing Kanye West back in album mode was the fact that he had not said a single word. In that sense, the beginning of the rollout for DONDA appeared to be the mark of a new era of Kanye one where his faith in God and a bit of self-awareness finally overlapped with one another. The past few years have largely been summed up by his alignment with Donald Trump, religious views, and failed presidential candidacy, rather than his musical output (outside of Sunday Service, of course). The left-field, electronically-induced production on songs that bore titles like “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead ” declaring himself a God and the failed attempt to appropriate the Confederate flag for the sake of a poor political statement within high fashion. What became of Kanye West’s Yeezus era that followed was his commitment as a provocateur. There should be no limitation to what any artist - or person, for that matter - does creatively, but the question is: should there be constraints when one’s entire identity is the subject of endurance art? Publicly crucified for the VMA incident and resurrected with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West came back stronger (no pun intended) with the already-existent chip on his shoulder growing exponentially in the process.

"DONDA" offers a sense of familiarity in response to the demands for the return of the “Old Kanye.” Unfortunately, it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be.
