See, Kanye held a disastrous Miami listening event/concert on February 22 (2.22.22) and promised a Stem Player-exclusive album release that same day, but as usual, he was late. What many gloss over, though, is that Donda 2 is a rushed, clearly unfinished, and emotionally difficult legal obligation of a record. Kanye’s decision to keep Donda 2 off streaming is immensely respectable, though I wish he also put out a more convenient $20 CD or tape.)

(Either way, Billboard ruled the album ineligible to chart. Kanye would tell you he’s winning, except it’s his own game designed to eliminate any threat of competition.

Yet, Donda 2 itself doesn’t cost $200 it’s a free download accessible only via the $200 Stem Player, meaning he doesn’t technically have to pay anyone royalties or sample clearances. Most of Donda 2’s media coverage centers around the Stem Player situation, how everyone thinks Kanye is “crazy” to so highly value his art by making everyone pay $200 for it. The artist now legally known as Ye instead independently released it exclusively on the $200 Stem Player, a proprietary, Yeezy Tech- and Kano-developed device that allows users tactile interaction with his last three albums (more about that later). Don’t expect to find it on streaming platforms or in record stores, however. Mere months after his patience-testing yet rewarding opus Donda, Kanye West is back with its lazily titled sequel, Donda 2.
