“Pinocchio Story” was most recently performed during Yeezy’s two-night Hollywood Bowl cinematic expression with a 10-minute extended version. There was never a studio version recorded because it would’ve taken away from the realness of the song, where Kanye touches on his imperfections and disconnect from the real world, which coincided with the LP’s theme.
It wasn’t planned to be a part of the album until Beyonce fell in love with the raw recording of the track, which really made it special, audience shrieks included. Scroll through the gallery below to see Kanye West's style evolution over the years.The cathartic “Pinocchio Story” was first performed in Singapore as a freestyle before 808s & Heartbreak was even released.
City of Gods (with Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys). First Time in a Long Time (featuring Soulja Boy). Miyagi (featuring Future and Playboi Carti) We Did It Kid (featuring Baby Keem and Migos). Pablo (featuring Travis Scott and Future). While we only heard a limited selection of Donda 2, it is safe to predict it won’t mark a new chapter for Ye.Ĭonsidering how turbulent his personal life has become over the years, it is probably the best we can hope from one of hip-hop’s most innovative and frustrating characters. The RnB star was one of many guest performers on site, including Migos, Pusha T and Playboi Carti, and delivered in an epic track hailed by fans as an unofficial sequel to her 2009 song Empire State of Mind, a joint hit with Jay-Z. Where that release had Ye sifting through the trauma of his mother’s death the previous year, Donda 2 finds him dealing with his separation from Kim Kardashian.Ī post shared by Alicia Keys standout track is City of Gods, featuring a striking performance by Alicia Keys. In fact, Donda 2 is more lyrically similar to the 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak. He may have named the album after his mother Donda West, but there is another significant woman hovering over the album.ĭonda 2 is a sequel to last year's Donda in name only with the emotionally fraught nature of the lyricism, based on the selection of tracks heard, a far cry from the spiritually laced subject matter of its predecessor. The sound was relatively rectified throughout the rest of the show, but it felt too late by that point. 
West acknowledged this midway during the show when rapping out of time to new track Hurricane -indicating his in-ear monitors were out of synch - and slammed the microphone down in disgust. That sudden shift would have surely affected the harried technical crew, with the show beginning two hours late and the sound quality lambasted online for its murkiness and lack of clarity. Ironically, after championing the fact his music could only be played on his own platform, West turned to social media giants such as YouTube, Twitch and Instagram to stream the event after previously limiting its screening to select IMAX theatres across the US.
