Kanye West - Jesus Is King (Discussion Thread)

[Waterproof]

A Dope Spiritual Album, I know you heathens like music to fukk and do dope to, but this album is very spiritual it's a album that you put on when your spirit needs food, on a early Sunday Morning. It's his truth and I respect that.

When Ye said Yahshua is King

It's lot's of Gems that Ye was dropping me being a Hebrew picked up on it.

First Kendrick embracing his Hebrew Roots and using The Father real name YAH and now Kanye using The Messiah real name Yahshua

Dry Bones are waking up

Selah

4.5 MiCS

I automatically know someone is trolling if they claim to like closed on sunday.

I sang Gospel for 20 years of my life, and there's no feeling in most of these songs. I think it's corny he tried to latch onto Chances wave after black folks got mad at him. The production is there on a few of these, but I do not believe a single word he said on any of it.

Selah is the only song on the album where the lyrics sound like it was written by someone who has actually heard the word or sang gospel more that a week before it was written. There's no way Chance didn't write/co write that one.

The rest of it sounds like an album your dust head uncle would write after he went to rehab and found the Lord. Youtube and Facebook are littered with more earnest attempts at born again Christian self expression

Let's give props to CYHI for influencing this album with No Dope On Sunday

 

[Thief's Theme]

Follow God is the highlight after first spin

I'm glad it's not as gospel as I thought it would be, but still this one might have to sink a little first

Closed on Sunday is garbage

No Malice Co Wrote Jesus is King

Kanye should have a Gospel Branch of Good Music and call it Good Sunday and have No Malice drop an album

 

[distinguishedNOW]

Kanye still hasn’t made a bad album tbh. And that’s not even to say this is on par with his older joints but end of the day I know when he put something out it’s gonna at least sound good.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Use this Gospel brehs

 

[Stacks]

shyt is TRASH and I ain't ever listening

 

[THEREALBRAND]

This is my favorite Kanye album since MBDTF

 

[GoldenGlove]

The leaked album is better I think

 

[Patrick Kane]

Follow God could be one of his best songs on any album. Classic Ye sound/flow on that joint

Rest of the album though gonna have to spin it for the weekend. After 2 full listens, shyt is kinda weak.

I am older and I could never understand how you can rate an album that you only listened to once. I need to soak it a little and I will report back.

I did like a couple tracks off the rip tho
