Kanye West’s latest Donda video, “24,” is inspired by his preoccupation with the afterlife. The video appears to be a clip from Kanye’s third listening session for the album, which took place at Soldier Field in Chicago, where he mimicked his ascension to heaven while his late mother (for whom the album is named) looks on beatifically.
It’s only the second video to emerge from the album’s lengthy, chaotic rollout, after “Come To Life” also made use of a part of the Chicago listening in which Kanye was literally set on fire.
While the spectacle of his listening events and the buzz surrounding the album were enough to propel it to the top of the Billboard albums chart, it was not without flaws, detractors, and flaws, as collaborators such as Soulja Boy and Todd Rundgren criticized the recording process (as well as the final product), Drake allegedly trolled Kanye by leaking his Andre 3000 collaboration (disaster), and the album had its fair share of flaws, detractors, and flaws With all of the turmoil surrounding the record, it’s possible that releasing more videos may shift attention back to the music.
