First Donda listening party holds at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and streamed on Apple Music joined by 3.3 million people(AM record)
Everyone expects the album the next day but it doesn’t come out
Ye just moves into a locker room inside the stadium and stays there for about 24 days, reportedly paying a million dollars a day to do it
He puts a camera on the whole thing so you can watch him living in there 24/7
Most of the time it’s just him lifting weights, getting haircuts, sleeping, or hanging with people instead of actually making music
Second LP happens in the same stadium with a better mix and more features
He ends the night by floating way up into the roof during “No Child Left Behind”
That stream hits 5.4 million viewers and breaks the Apple Music record again
You just had to be there, it’s arguably one of the best album rollouts ever
someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their “inner applause” because their body is cheering them on, and i think that’s the best narrative adjustment ever.
