Joe Budden Calls DONDA A Masterpiece, Gives It 8.5 Out Of 10

Joe Budden Declares Kanye West’s “DONDA” To Be A Masterpiece

Hip Hop critics have been sharing their thoughts on Kanye West’s DONDA album and surprisingly, majorly all of top Hip Hop cultural commentators have something good to say about the project.

Charlamagne Tha God named it lackluster. Punch of TDE likened it to an “experience.”

Just in time, Joe Budden has come through to share his own conclusion on the polarizing project during a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.

“I love it,” says Joe. “So genius. It’s brilliant.” When asked to give a numerical ranking on ten, Joe wastes little time in doling out an impressive 8.5. “It’s 8.5. It’s [a masterpiece].”

There really doesn’t appear to be any middle ground here, and though Joe’s paywalled JPD episode prevents us from hearing his full explanation as to why he scored DONDA so highly, he’s certainly not alone.

It’s likely the divided discourse will continue for some time, though it should be interesting to see how much replay value the project holds.

It’s especially interesting given how critical Joe has been of Kanye West in the past, especially in the midst of the Surgical Summer of 2018. In 2019, he accused Kanye West’s Sunday Service of being a “scam.” Do you agree with him that DONDA is a masterpiece?
