Kevin responded to Tyrell’s question by saying, “No, of course not, that’s Kanye West, he’s a master at his craft. I mean, I was just sitting back and just taking in the vibes listening. And he’s so humble that he was playing for everybody just wanted to hear their input.”

The fact that Kanye asked him for his input took Kevin by surprise. He asked Kanye if he was actually going to make the changes he suggested in the album. And even though the rapper said he would, Kevin could not believe it. However, at the listening parties, Kevin heard Kanye made the changes he suggested. Therefore, he concluded by saying, “It’s going to be incredible when he drops it.”

Finally, Kanye has now released the album. It is not up to the listeners to decide whether Durant’s reviews were correct.
