DJ Envy and Charlamagne trashed Kanye West‘s DONDA album during Monday’s “Rumor Report” on “The Breakfast Club” radio show.
During the segment, Charlamagne called the 27-track album “lackluster,” “exhausting,” and “dated.”
“I listened to it yesterday. I don’t know if it’s lackluster or too long, maybe both. Upon first listen, for me, it was kind of lackluster and long. An hour and 48 minutes is nuts. Even without all the part twos on there, it’s just still too long and it gets exhausting. And the music, to me, sounds kind of dated.”
DJ Envy went further, admonishing Kanye’s “clown” behavior and criticizing the entire DONDA album rollout as “a circus.”
Envy also chastised Kanye’s handlers, particularly his groupie manager, Bu Thiam, and rapper Pusha T for not holding Kanye accountable for his behavior.
“Kanye is a clown,” DJ Envy said.
“He is a clown and a circus. He is a clown and circus, and I’m ashamed of the people around him — Bu, Free, Pusha, Monopoly… he is a clown. And if you don’t get your guy together — like Charlamagne said seven years ago, when he came up here and said, ‘The people around you don’t love you.’ And Kanye, the people around you don’t love you. You are a clown.”
