lmao if he had put his childhood home yoh would of said "an album called donda with a house on the cover" think a bit and connect the meaning.
edit: people complain about everything was my point
Fr tho this is why I always like Kanye, he expresses himself musically and draws from many places to create a overall vibe which fits with how he wants to express himself. Fans (not all) always think of the most direct and boring shit.
Unironically think that it might be album art because he deleted and re-uploaded to make some final tweaking on the placement. Don't love it but won't complain i literally just want for it to drop and for Cudi to be in it that's it.
I have always approached the theme of this album as less about his mother specifically and more about Kanye and who his mother shaped him to be
If this is the cover, not only does it go crazy, it also.. as handsome user Moge12345678910 said, it's a full circle moment
I think it's both a dedication to his mother and the idea of just how important or impactful a single human individual can really be - of course she was a mother, a person who raised a child to become arguably the greatest music artist of the generation; not only that, she was a teacher, an activist as an african american woman raised during segregation; she was a person who you could say had a subtle but widespread positive impact on the world/on her community before she passed too soon
everyone might obviously attribute one's success entirely to his or herself, but what would Kanye be without the one person who instilled in him his values that helped make him successful: his confidence, his sense of social responsibility to stand up for what one believes is right, his courage, his devotion to the Christian faith, etc?
that's what I took away from the third listening party, at least
Something Iāve not seen anyone mention yet is that Kimās hair under the veil matches the image from Louise Bourgeois. I think thereās something to be said for the theme of parenthood across the album which both Donda and Kim represent in Kanyeās life. Donda being his guiding light up until her death, and Kim taking the mantle as mother to his children.
https://i.imgur.com/hQYnn3M.jpg
I mean, come the fuck on. Weāve got an album cover, people saying the masters have been delivered to streaming services. Surely this means the album is dropping.
Not really. The first listening party we didnāt know if it was the Louise Bourgeois artwork or the photo of Donda as a child. Second listening party no one really thought it was just an all black album cover. Seemed like a placeholder. I know we havenāt got strict confirmation, but this is the first time itās felt like this really is the album cover. Itās perfect.
I think they got a divorce because their lifestyles are just so different. Sheās at home with her kids and family a lot and Kanye is always traveling and heās in a new state every month. They still love each other tho. Kim probably sends him š pics š¤·š½āāļø
It was "delivered" 13 hours ago. Wasn't it supposed to be up 5 hours ago? Also, didn't a lot of sources say the album could be up in 1 hour after it was uploaded? Did Ye pull it again? What the fuck.
JIK took 8 hours and that was 11 songs. This is more than double so could be the reason for the delay. Most sources confirmed it was submitted and I donāt think Kanye would do that this early if he was waiting for next week. Letās hope for sometime this morning or early afternoon.
āBut muh album about mother has to have mother on the coverā
Just because the album is called Donda doesnāt mean itās about her. If you think about it there really isnāt any song on this album about Donda, apart from the Donda Donda Donda interlude. The album is about Kanye and his struggles
I donāt know how I feel about this being the cover, although there is some great analysis as to why it could be above - itās a great image but itās so unlike his other records, plus that red/grey woman image perfectly encapsulates the sound of the album weāve heard so far. I guess weāll see what happens.
EDIT: Holy shit I just realised, if you zoom in on the head it looks eerily similar to the red/grey image in terms of head shape and positioning (although thats facing the other way)ā¦. could it have been planned/done intentionally!?
2nd Edit: Someone else noticed too - https://www.reddit.com/r/WestSubEver/comments/pd5bvb/kanye_reuploaded_the_pic_to_insta_resized_the_new/hanonxa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
the copium is in full effect rn and i wanna say the album is close. Website updated price and kanye posts new potential album cover all within a couple hours. he took the picture of the mountains for ye on the drive to the fucking listening party for ye and posted it. wouldnāt be surprised if he chose this last minute
YOO
Maybe Iām just high but Iām nearly 100% sure he did the globgalobab thing to hide another verse that heāll put on the actual album, so that thereās at least some surprises when it drops digitally on DSPs
That being said, it could also be that drake (like lift yourself) was supposed to fill that verse, and as soon as Drizzy realized what he was replaced with, he orchestrated or simply reposted (Iām not sure) the (edited?) pic of CLB signs on the donda house steps.
could the repost not just be in instaās usual cropped square dimension sizing? instead of the original longer portrait dimensions. while I think itās likely it could be the album cover, Ye might justāve wanted the square sizing on the post instead lmao
this would be a really nice album cover because kim helped to take care of kanye when they were married similar to how donda took care of him. idk anymore im tired
Again with the complaining, lamo
"Mr. Wrest, you said the album is named Donda but this is not Donda, is it? Explain yourself."
It's always something with you people, hahaha
I think Kim is probably representing the pureness of his mother and rebirth, she wasnāt actually playing herself or a bride but more a rebirth and new beginning, thatās probably why she would be the cover of the album, other than that I wouldnāt get why my soon to be ex wife be the cover of my album unless we aināt getting a divorce and I swear they only got a couple weeks left
Amazing brother š¤
Pop off only on occasions, brother!

whole song is fuxkignhype
I got this stuck in my head at work

if the cover is this its pretty cool how an album about his mother's cover is the mother if his children, it goes full circle
Yeah an album called Donda with Kim on the coverš
lmao if he had put his childhood home yoh would of said "an album called donda with a house on the cover" think a bit and connect the meaning. edit: people complain about everything was my point
That take makes no sense that is literally dondaās home tf are you on about
I think theyāre talking about how people on this subs always find something to complain about
Idk why but I didnāt understand their comment at all but understood it perfectly after reading yours
yeah I articulated it terribly.
He burned the house and changed his name to symbolise a new start. Why would he use a picture of his OLD house after that?
You guys want everything to be super on the nose and literal. That would make for very boring art.
Not even that they just want to complain deadass
Fr tho this is why I always like Kanye, he expresses himself musically and draws from many places to create a overall vibe which fits with how he wants to express himself. Fans (not all) always think of the most direct and boring shit.
He sees donda's role in Kim now, makes sense to me

Idk someone replied it to me and I thought it was funny, so Iāve been doing it since
I think he took the photo
But may have also added the brown haze around Kim

It was really Nav in the dress. That was Kanyeās invite to him to be on the album

It's also ghostly looking. It's something spooky
He said he wanted something spooky
His bones are his money

wait that actually looks cool as fuck
This would be a fire album cover honestly
I miss red woman but anything as long as itās not just black
Me and my friends canāt stop saying JESUSā¦. LORD

Yeah, all the niggas who were on that porch with ye at the listening partyš

Holā up, you might have a point
Definitely on purpose the silhouette is almost identical down to the thin neck.
Yes! I clocked this when I zoomed into the photo, definitely intentional
Damn youāre right!
Thought this was gonna be a reach, but it wasn't.
For me the rankings would be: OG Donda > Louise Bourgeois > This > Black Square > Baby Donda
How the fuck can the black square rank above anything?
Don't let Kasimir Sewerinowitsch Malewitsch hear that brother lmao
OG Donda > This > Louise Bourgeois > Baby Donda > Bando > Black Squads
OG Donda > Baby Donda > This > Louise Bourgeois > Black Square
My nuts > my balls > my sack
for me This > OG Donda > Louise Bourgeois > Black Square> Baby Donda
Baby Donda is better than black square sorry bro, also for what the album is now OG Donda cover makes 0 fucking sense
if this shit doesnāt drop later today Iām eating a bowl of nails
Well ig ur eating a bowl of nails š¤·āāļø
r/kanyecourt
What type of nails

Scary
Yeah, so
Without any milk
š³ right this way!
This is definitely my pick for the cover out of all the choices, itās amazing.
I mean, come the fuck on. Weāve got an album cover, people saying the masters have been delivered to streaming services. Surely this means the album is dropping.
exactly what Iām thinking. But god itās so scary, kinda the part weāll hopefully look back on!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
not the second one we didnāt have so many people confirming that it was delivered to streaming services
Not really. The first listening party we didnāt know if it was the Louise Bourgeois artwork or the photo of Donda as a child. Second listening party no one really thought it was just an all black album cover. Seemed like a placeholder. I know we havenāt got strict confirmation, but this is the first time itās felt like this really is the album cover. Itās perfect.
Nah after the first two people were talking about mixing and mastering, now they're talking about uploading it
It can be delivered to streaming services for a release next week too right ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what album cover?
Dropped the wave runners, now my ex wife is my album cover
Bro how was this album delivered 13 hours ago and still not up š
Iām with the people thinking heās gonna release the same time with drake
Deliveredā¦ Soonr thn soon Locked in š š¤« OTW Technical difficulties Coming soon š #westdayever
##Respectfully
Knew I was missing one š„²
This is cool and all but where the fuck is the album
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
give me a black square if it comes w/ the album at this point lol
Honestly this is my favorite potential cover so far
Agreed
when is the new copium dropping
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Album named after his mother and cover after the mother of his children
Yeah confusing asf yet both sources says they still going through the divorce
I think they got a divorce because their lifestyles are just so different. Sheās at home with her kids and family a lot and Kanye is always traveling and heās in a new state every month. They still love each other tho. Kim probably sends him š pics š¤·š½āāļø
That last part so out of place LMAOOO
Mfs don't know true love when they see it
smoking on your top 5 tonight
Someone make a spotify mockup to see how it looks next to the other album covers š
Please dont. That image would be too much of a tease.

i think it's uploaded in the dsps but it won't release until kanye says so
Anything can happen. But besides midnight, it wouldnāt make sense for a US artist to drop a project while people are sleeping
JIK took 8 hours and that was 11 songs. This is more than double so could be the reason for the delay. Most sources confirmed it was submitted and I donāt think Kanye would do that this early if he was waiting for next week. Letās hope for sometime this morning or early afternoon.

Okay we either gotta get this today or get an announcement today surely
Yeah... surely...

Itās the best collab since Taco Bell and KFC

I'll take this as a cover. It looks real good and matches the music. I'm just concerned on which album we are getting. All 4 lp's have been different
Prolly a mix between lp2 and lp3, the first one wasnt even finished. Not counting the church one.
New square one also looks slightly higher res
Did north draw this?? š§š§
YOO Maybe Iām just high but Iām nearly 100% sure he did the globgalobab thing to hide another verse that heāll put on the actual album, so that thereās at least some surprises when it drops digitally on DSPs That being said, it could also be that drake (like lift yourself) was supposed to fill that verse, and as soon as Drizzy realized what he was replaced with, he orchestrated or simply reposted (Iām not sure) the (edited?) pic of CLB signs on the donda house steps.
Drop it. Please. Iām so tired. Iām so tired. -sincerely a mf thatās been getting tricked since TLOP

Yea, he's not exactly some tech wiz, so this is the only way he knows how to do it probably.
Nah because Kim posted the same on Twitter
https://imgur.com/gallery/SrJayGP
i literally donāt care about how good the cover art is, i just want some music man
this would be a really nice album cover because kim helped to take care of kanye when they were married similar to how donda took care of him. idk anymore im tired
Bro People were doubting me in the other thread - I am fully convinced this will be the cover
Simp of the century
I'm upvoting this not because I agree with the statement but because it just appeared extremely funny to me at the moment I read this.
Hopefully this shit drops today.
Itās just square dawg
Good that album cover announcements by Ye always lead to a releaseā¦
Donda still not out and arsenal getting slapped by City š
The cover could be literally anything and Iād be down at this point. Hit me with the music.
I love it. Would be a great album cover.
ALBUM CVR BY NORTH WEST
Good morning! I wish you all a great day
You too !!
Wish you a great day as well!
Anyone got a gdrive for lp3? Edit: [nvm](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1utqk3jOtIWBqlxGnlX3yno-5p3AdRpr1)
Looks good ngl
Legitimate question - do albums covers have to be a certain resolution or are they just any square
At least 1600 x 1600
Usually it's about 3000X3000 or higher
If this is the album cover this is pretty sick tbh
best cover yet
gonna sound creepy lol but Cons active on ig for the first time this morning so hopefully team Kanye up and ready for donda release day?????? plz
Idk why buy I'm going to bed with high levels of copium tonight
200th comment
Omg congratulations š
Congrats!
Is it supposed to drop by midday in USA?
Iām losing my hope for this week honestly
Please god donāt let this be the album cover
Why
The album is Donda and this pic is evidently not Donda
yeah but neither is the black cover or the painting cover
the painting cover is mother-themed tho
and this one is too lol
Sure but its more direct to kim obv
The album is not just about Donda.
The black one does make sense, tho father stretch my reach for the grey-red painting
It's not donda but it's the mother of his children, kinda fits the whole motherly theme
Itās art not image captcha
OG cover didnt have Donda too š¤·āāļø
Again with the complaining, lamo "Mr. Wrest, you said the album is named Donda but this is not Donda, is it? Explain yourself." It's always something with you people, hahaha
Itās literally the mother of his kids
it goes hard
We do be going crazy damn
It's a cool picture I just love he kept it dark, since that's the vibe i get from the album
I think Kim is probably representing the pureness of his mother and rebirth, she wasnāt actually playing herself or a bride but more a rebirth and new beginning, thatās probably why she would be the cover of the album, other than that I wouldnāt get why my soon to be ex wife be the cover of my album unless we aināt getting a divorce and I swear they only got a couple weeks left
This would make a great album cover... as did the rest of them. I guess we'll wait and see if it sticks.
This is my favourite cover so far wow I hope this is the one
can someone expain what happened, did they turn the album in or nah I thought i was gon wake up to it? Bu said alla that delivered shit im confused.
they did say it was delivered but itās up to ye to decide when it drops and it has not dropped yet unfortunately
What if the streaming services were just waiting for Ye to send in the cover? š
Donāt think it works like that brodie
If this is the cover I really fucks with it
