It was just a month ago tho
@@prod.sabimaru2736 It was just a joke
Felt like DONDA's impact on Kanye's discography was MUCH LARGER than CLB's impact on Drake's. Doesn't mean that I don't enjoy both albums to the fullest, and like Nathan said, CLB is for having fun but DONDA is an album for the soul.
Clb is jus soulless music made to chart and get streams lmao
@@trenhen4311 still good
@@ugonwigwe5136 if u consider a 4/10 to be good then yes it’s good
@@ugonwigwe5136 never thought I’d c a jpeg fan giving drake praise damn that’s a shocker
@@trenhen4311 tbh I used to hate on him until I actually went through his discog. He’s one of my favorite rappers oat now lol. As a whole donda is better easily but the standouts on this album are so great so I like it
I was way too insecure to admit this back in high school, but that 5 Seconds of Summer album from 2014 goes so hard.
Scott !!!!!!!!

this is the cross over we needed... not a video... just this comment 💀😂
ps. yes that 5SOS album did go hard
huge respect to you for including the music in this. Makes the video ten times better (it's a banger, btw) but I know you're taking the hit on monetization to make the content better.
eyyyyyy didn't expect to see you here. big up jon keep doing what you do :)

fuck labels man
It really does make the video a load better.
he makes classic, that's why
It could be Donda, it could be CLB, but one thing is for sure. This video is a Classic
Stop fishing for likes
@@hamzealameddine8268 video is a classic still
And is a scientific fact that anybody that disagrees with you is wrong.
Objectively Donda.

I'm sorry
Donda did not hit for me at first, I wasn't a Kanye fan. Legit took me a week, and somehow everything was different. Everything clicked, and since then I've listened to the rest of Kanye's stuff and man it's been amazing.
Same, Donda got me into listening the rest of Kanye's albums
@@RamsteinPoplaski W!
Same thing happened to me. Donda the album made me listen to all his albums and now Kanye is my favorite artist

Believe What I Say is beautiful. Honestly, Donda is better with every listen

This is how I feel. Tracks I didn’t/don’t like grow on me every time, and I appreciate the ones I did like even more.
Good thing I don’t listen to it
"Until Adele come and destroys everybody". This man spittin' straight truths here.
Or The Weeknd, if or when he releases his album this year. Well there's just 1 single out from him so far.
But it'll be out when it's done and I dont expect an album release this year.

@@marymutunga2933 why is a Kenyan watching this?
@@gachuikaranja7628 ur kenyan LMAO
The thing about Drake is that his songs sound great if you listen to them sparingly. The whole album sounds the same all in one listen. Kanye proved his superiority by making a 2 hour long album feel like a breeze.
I listen to Donda at work because it sounds great and makes the time fucking FLY
I like a fair few Drake songs, but CLB was so boring.
the whole album sounds the same? come on dawg, tell me one similarity btw songs like fountains, fair trade, way 2 sexy, u only live twice.
Exactly you can’t listen to CLB all at one it just doesn’t flow nicely while Donda does
it was 2 hours?
I love Nathan's takes on music, but his editing during the song clips are PERFECT
Pipe down while playing the crane game
@@orangeman3220 FACTSSSSS
Drake and Kanye are both mid I only listen to Epic Rap Battles of History.
@✞︎ ᴍᴀʀᴄᴜs ✞︎ you can't let the joke breathe for a second can you
@@ramadansteve1743 u know he being sarcastic right
the saddest thing is kanye made mbdf to be compared to drake also i know youre joking
@@waynicliz that’s ONE of the reasons. The main reason is that, everyone was doubting how long ye could sit in the throne, and keep up with the expectations he set for himself with the college dropout. Not only that, the Tayler incident began the hate for Ye, and he knew in order to earn many peoples respect again, he needed to drop his best work yet. 10 years later, he definitely did in my opinion
white
this is why we need people like you checkin out these albums 6 weeks after theyre out. someone's impressions on these albums after 1 day are bound to be iffy in comparison to what they might think of them even a month from now. glad to see youre just able to enjoy what has been put out
Facts. I rated every song from the album when I first listened to it and I gave like a 4 to Knife talk. It's now my favorite song lol turns out when you're listening to an album for 90 minutes straight, your opinions won't be reliable
PLEASE don't think appreciating both these albums is a "boring take", you're one of the only online personalities who truly respects and captures the feeling this kind of music manifests and in the sea of people disliking popular artists' music often for how popular they are, it's refreshing to see someone who just chooses to "enjoy music". Also, the take at 8:35 is the realest I ever heard regarding Drake's discography. Incredible video.
Thinking CLB is bad just means you can’t enjoy music apparently
hi shaker
Idk about that for me cuz while a year ago I did listen to Take Care then forgot about it and then now I love it. When I listened to IYRTITL it was like an instant classic I just love the minimal moody trap sound he did on that album, it's almost perfect. And I think he did that sound the best...well second best cuz rodeo exists. Like while I agree a lot of the earlier tracks weren't instant classics on first listen at least for me I thought ok if I listen to it again I'll like these tracks more. But the CLB there's literally nothing to go back to cuz it's so bland and even the good stuff he's just done better before like that Rick Ross track. So I kinda agree with him and also disagree. Also I want to enjoy music, I love music! And I rly gave CLB a chance but it was just disappointing even tho I had low expectations to begin with
@@tescomealdeals basically if your brain thinks the artist is bad the music will mostly sound bad. if you brain thinks the food looks disgusting it will most of the time taste disgusting. that kind of thinking. improving the presentation of the dish improves the taste. if clb wasnt drake and instead lele pons your brain would make the songs sound better.
did not expect to see u here, whats good shakes
Imo Donda will be a classic in time, it's really grown on me. CLB felt like just another drake album, not bad per say, just solid enough.
CLB was aight, but DONDA THOOOO, so replayable and it's such a damn V I B E
Lol CLB has better replay value and the charts prove it bro.

EXACTLY. drake was on his usual shit, but kanye gave me a whole new fucking experience
@@1of1fr because the songs are generic club bangers, aka typical drake shit he knows how to play numbers, but you can't deny creatively Donda is superior
@@1of1fr bruh cuz that shit gonna be played on like 200000 target stores 😭
true. drake, kendrick, and kanye are called goats for completely different reasons.
drake can hit a mood
kendrick is just hard
kanye is timeless
crazy that people have the audacity to rank and compare all their songs without being open-minded enough to understand a criteria ain't gonna help em.
kendrick isn't just hard bro, he's a fucking POET imo
kanye is an artist
kendrick is a poet
drake is err..umm..idk
Kendrick is more art & a poet
YES

@@louisCS502 LMFAO
@@louisCS502 😂😂😂😂
I like both artists but on full listen throughs for both albums release day, Donda touched my soul while CLB was alright. Kanye gave me something I didnt know I needed while Drake gave me an decent album nothing too special.
"he'll give us what we need, it may not be what we want"
Actually the thing you said about listening on a specific situation is almost everything. That's what makes classical feel "boring" when it's just the mood not being the right one for the moment. If you don't believe me, just think about every good movie score, or listen "clair de lune" at night watching the city through a window. Music needs context. That makes you have the experience they were intended for.
Accurate AF.
The Drake album formula
1. No structure or theme, just random recordings
2. Add 5 below average R&B tracks about women from his past nobody cares about
3. 3 tracks about where he's actually rapping
4. 3 tracks about life before fame with his old friends we dont care about
5. one struggle regaae song
6. two songs with a hook that longer than the verse
Accurate af 💀
Struggle reggae is hilarious
Now we have to add dad songs probably lol, but for real, I don't want to listen to this album that sounds like the Drake that has been dropping the same shit since 2016 when he has 3 way better projects
Damn your actually right
Get Along Better, Pipe Down are average???????
Donda is so good. It lived up to the hype for me and got better the more I listen to it.
donda aged so good
@@pickle7433 bro its been like a month, wait a few years and itll be even better
24 really takes me to a special place man. IDK how to explain this. I sometimes just put it on when I feel down and kinda helpless. It really hits different.
@@omogoloontefetse WE GONNA BE OK! WE GONNA BE OK! GODS NOT FINISHED, GODS NOT FINISHED
@@omogoloontefetse yo go to the comments of that song. A lot of ppl really were touched by that song
Back in 2013 I thought “Yeezus” was alright then one day a few year’s later I just put the album on while I was driving and it just hit me. Now I think that album is fucking amazing
Yeezus was just too different to really hit back in 2013 but its a top 3 Ye album fs.
Same, I used to hate it, but it aged so great. It was ahead of it’s time.

6:16 WE CRY TOGETHER

You’re right and you should say it 👌easily aoty
Agreed!

not tryna be mean but no one cared about that album
classic albums classic video classic opinion
Hey billy how’s the video going???
props to my man for making a whole video knowing he wouldnt make money
(we are both super cool nathans)
We do not care
@@jogonjohn205 chill
Swoosh your the man
The correct answer is to listen to Little Simz's Sometimes I Might Be Introvert instead. The real AOTY there.
FR!!!
yessss 100%
Drake didn’t even drop the best album that day
CMIYGL is my AOTY but Little Simz is extremely underrated
CMIYGL is aoty
is crazy looking back now but blonde definitely grew on because I only liked Ivy on my first few listens then some months later when the weather was getting colder, I was listening to blonde on the train ride to work and suddenly it hit me how much I started to love that album.
Iconic legendary album, no one ever has the first same listen some people love it first listen, some people love it after a few years, but majority of people end up loving it regardless
I was gonna say the same thing. Seigfried and White Ferrari have become some of my favourite songs of all time.
yeah like bro the first time i listened to nikes i thought it was the worst song ever but now it go crazy asf
First time I heard blonde I thought it was mid, now a listen to it daily lol, same thing with melodrama by lorde
Shit, maybe I should listen to Blonde again
couldn't have said it better myself dude! both albums are going to age like fine wine
omg my favorite white boy!!!!
Yeah idk if people will look back at way 2 sexy and be like “ah yes what a classic song”
@@obaso. shit is beyond ass
lmao CLB isn’t going to age well and will be forgotten within a few months. Drake’s old albums actually have aged like fine wine because they’re so much better in comparison to his more recent work, which lacks inspiration and doesn’t push any boundaries.
@@obaso. you only live twice was hard tho you can't lie
The album that grew on me the most has to be TLOP, I couldn't bring myself to even finish it on release, fast forward a year later I decided to give it another try, and it's now one of my favourite albums
Same exact thing for me! Now it’s probably my second favorite Ye album after Yeezus, which also took me a bit to grow on me.
@@thisisthehelen yeezus is a classic. probably the only album ever that LITERALLY had to grow on EVERYBODY
Nathan is like the dad who comes back after the milk expires and then goes to buy it again
This is how people who don't stare at Twitter all day perceive these albums
When I first listened to off the grid I truly realized what it was like to 100% love a song. No flaws to you, just pure happiness on listening many came close but this is my top of all time just in listening quality
You forced yourself to do that
Off the grid could be the best drill song of the last decade
Nathan is bringing the charm back to youtube. His personality is infecious and all I want to do is be friends with him.
Did Drake have Jay Elec-entendre-onica come through his monita? I didn’t think so
i never get as hyped for anyone’s videos as i do for yours dude
This guys like the happier version of shawn cee
doja cat, tyler the creator and hiatus kaiyote releasing albums on THE SAME DAY. i had an incredible time blasting those albums on repeat in my art studio all day, filled me with so much joy
The first song I ever heard by Baby Keem was "durag activity" and I did not like it all. I found Keem's voice so jarring but then "family ties" came out and he came with an absolutely insane verse and now I think The Melodic Blue is one of the best albums of the year.
R n for me Don Toliver is all i can listen too. I’m addicted!
Fr
Durag Activity was my first Keem song but I liked it.
@@mandem2362 same, then Family ties sealed my appreciation for him
@@cmooreHD you got taste😪🙏🏽
I listened to CLB, good album, I sometimes go back to listen to 4 or 5 favorite song, but Donda is going on repeat nonstop
Every time I listen to it fully, it feels like mere minutes. It absolutely deserved the wait
Damn I just noticed that that was Donda West saying "into the night" in Praise God.
finally the reupload phew thought I lost this gem
Mbdtf grew on me, 😭😭 I didn’t understand why everyone loved it so much when I heard it, but it’s been growing for a long time
Enjoy bro, that album is just fucking amazing
Bro that album.. is the greatest album of all time for me.. I can listen to ever song .. beginning to end..
then straight after it is watch the Runaway movie and still want more 😂🤣
Going to J. Cole’s opening tour show and having Drake come out and give him props and perform Knife Talk and Way 2 Sexy with 21 Savage and Future was insane
Damn that does so epic
WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSS
8:02 lmao i died💀💀💀
quality video. we need more people talking about music the way you do. I love the intermittent cuts to your vlog footage, it really puts you in the right aesthetic headplace to appreciate the music in the background. You should make music videos or smthn :)
i dont like sh*t by earl was like that for me, didn't like it when it first came out now its one of my favorite rap albums period
Hi hivemind
yo hivemind keep up what u doin big ups... both of yall mad funny
Top 2 Earl easily. So great
Wool is goated.
Views is prolly the only drake album I didn’t instantly love, until clb, and now it’s in my top 4 drake albums. He released 3 classics in a row tho that hit immediately take care nwts iyrtitl. Never understood the hate for iyrtitl. Defined the sound for the next generation while being incredibly fire
I hate that Drake sounds unenergetic in his newer music especially in CLB.
Bro u trippin go listen to no friends in the industry, champagne poetry, you only live twice or TSU again
@@danielguerrero5292 Drake lost his passion after IYRTITL and it's the main problem with his new music. He literally sounds like he doesn't want to be in the studio.
@@aftermath20 Drake had HELLA energy on more life wtf are you talking about?
I love your enthusiasm and evident passion. He can’t miss.
I feel like in many ways Donda is Ye’s most personal album. He really laid his heart out for everybody on songs like Hurricane, Jesus Lord, Lord I Need You, Come to Life etc. Sure in many ways TLOP is the most “kanye” album ever but Donda felt like ye coming to peace with lots of stuff in his life like his mother, his divorce, his spirituality, his reputation and relationship with the media, etc. I also find it incredible that he’s still capable of making music like Jesus Lord and Come to Life at age 44
CLB is Drake just… doing his thing. Its good, I love the run from TSU to Race my Mind (this song is fucking incredible), but its the same thing he’s been doing for the past five years. If we wanna compare these two artists Kanye released MBDTF when he was a year or two younger than Drake is right now… take that how you want it idk
Favs from Donda: Jail, Off the Grid, Hurricane, Believe What I Say, Moon, Jesus Lord, 24, heaven and hell, lord i need you, keep my spirit alive, pure souls, come to life
Favs from CLB: fair trade, tsu, pipe down, N 2 deep, no friends in the industry (this gon go crazy at the halloween parties), knife talk, race my mind
Either way its still so exciting and fun that both dropped albums within a week of each other
thats because Drake is no longer an artist hes a brand. love Drake and have been listening since the beginning, but it is unfortunate that he isn't what he used to be but atleast he knows what will make him money at this point.
I agree donda has more heart and and more meaningful lyrics but drakes songs in clb are better to turn up and vibe at the same time
For MBDTF Kanye was at a point where he had to fix himself due to the Taylor Swift incident and For Drake he’s at the point where he’s the biggest rapper in the game for passed 10 years. You can’t compare Drakes albums or Kanye albums because they are 2 different artist. Both are Goats
Junya Watanabe On My WRI
@@threeholePUNCHify you can be a brand and an artist and balance the two. Like yea toosie slide is ass but get along better is one of drakes best r&b songs in years. But I do hope he makes another classic I feel he still has it in him
always refreshing seeing your videos
I needed this take on these albums. Both albums have hits and misses. I feel like people don't take the time to just enjoy music and make things more deeper than it is.
Im honestly disappointed you didn’t shoutout Moon on Donda because in my opinion it’s one of the best songs… I had an out of body experience when I heard it for the first time
Heheeeeeee
Here we go strappin me up
CLB is as good as it’s album cover
So pretty damn good?
@@Drizurp I thought the album cover was pretty bad tbh.
@@Drizurp it’s a great album tbh. CLB is a 9.5/10
You really made a Donda/CLB video and didn't get disliked bombed to infinity. You really are a legend.
Ill listen to a couple tracks off CLB every now and then but if i hear one off DONDA I end up listening to the entire album again
Donda continues to grow on me while CLB continues to grow mold. No hate tho cause Drake the type of guy to send me an e-vite to hug out our differences
when Kendrick did an encore with GOD on his show was when that song finally hit. It’s just good vibes whenever I hear that song now. Days that will never come back
Nathan Zed is the only UA-camr I know who takes a few weeks or months between videos the he uploads and actually lives his life in between them. And then talks about his experiences genuinely!
And this video actually made me think more about how I’m experiencing my life than these two albums. Thanks man! Gotta get out there and just do stuff with the people around me
I was in high school when The 1975’s debut self-titled came out and I loved 2 songs off of it but trashed the rest of the album. At the beginning of the pandemic I re-listened to that album and was BLOWN AWAY. Like what was 15 yr old me thinking? That album hits.
DAWWWWGGGG!!! ROBBRRS???!!! PRESSURE???!!!
CLB kinda trash but when ever Nathan Zed drops it’s a classic
Bro, the beginning of N 2 Deep sounds like something off Take Care or So far Gone, but then it switches to something off What a time to be alive. That track is CRAZY 🔥
Honestly always enjoy your commentary on the music you listen to and the feelings that accompany it- awesome video as always
Nathan really lives his every word, I admire his integrity. When it all went down I checked his Twitter a couple times to see what he thought about the CLB cover, sequencing..but he didn't say anything good or bad until he could judge for himself.
i actually really appreciate hearing someone talk about CLB that is a fan
I want everyone to know its a certified Nathen Zed Classic
NFR gang
@@patrickgreene20 OFC NFR for life
I haven’t watched a Nathan Zed video in a long time, and i forgot how much i love his takes. Bout to binge the last year of videos
these video essays are mad underrated, you bring a fresh perspective and feel to these types of videos and i really admire your content and style
For me it’s Whole Lotta Red, i hated this album at first, now keep in time i was new to music, but now it’s an 8 out of 10, and it ranks pretty high on my list for 2020, it also brings me a lot of enjoyment to listen to
Fr like I thought it was hot garbage at first but now it sounds like a masterpiece 🦋
Nathan got me going back to CLB, the impact of this man
7:45
Is now my most played song 🤣😅
Dope video I feel like this is the passion and insight tnd used to have before he got so popular off listening to music purely critically and nit picking the smallest things in songs. Subscribed
Veteran and Life of Pablo/Yeezus took a good minute to click but once they did, they’re now 3 of my favorite albums of the past 10 years.
People in the comments gone be mad you didn’t hate CLB😂😂. Atleast you’re honest
Hands down my favorite youtuber, please give us more content!! We need it!!
bruh been refreshing your channel day to day hoping you'd drop another video about music😭❤️and you finally blessed us with another classic
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE ALBUMS CAME OUT
Dude I’d love to know your thoughts on the Montero album rollout, like I feel like it’s the only album I’ve been hype for in ages
Honestly had the best rollout of any albums this year atleast.
Pleaseee post more frequently I love your videos so much!!!
Love this guy's enthusiasm about... well, anything! Keep on doing what you do, man. You might not realize it, but you are making life a lil' brighter each and every upload!
2 seconds into the ad…
“Already a classic”
Damn bro you pulled up to my city, San Diego, and I didn’t know 😔
Mark my words and everyone remember this comment. 10-15 years time, the DONDA rollout into the album will be talked about as a classic , maybe even more than MBDTF
Nathan, I know this comment is late, but I wanted to thank you for making this video and others like it. You've really made me see how much music videos, live performances, when you're listening, the people you're with, etc, can change how you feel about music. I hated Get You by Daniel Caesar for YEARS until you talked about how the video had such a great atmosphere. As soon as I sat down to watch it, it was like a switch flipped & I got exactly what you meant, and I've played that song almost every day since then. Because of you, I'm trying to open myself up more to music I would have dismissed before, and I'm really grateful. I'm glad to see you back and I'm looking forward to your future videos. ❤
I’ve been following since vine days and your videos are always so good 😫
Nathan does such an amazing job at adding reason to traditional ways that people review music, like the way he talks about it is so simple yet fresh. Not to mention the visuals he provides…all this to say….his takes are always instant classics
I love how Nathan Zed just goes "Im sorry... BUT I like BOTH!" We need more of that positivity in our world. real talk
Been waiting for you to drop another classic! 🔥
Ur the only UA-camr from the older days that I still watch. Your content matured with u and it’s so refreshing
Already a classic
Anyone else love with Nathan does videos related around music?
This video is so dope, U used the vlog clips nicely!!
Appreciate this vid man, summarised my feelings 100 percent, I see the fight between who’s better but I love both for different reasons. A perfect video to act as a time stamp to look back on in 5 years 🤙🏼
