that was embarrassing

this >>>>> Kanye’s entire album

My theory is that the Illuminati are using Kanye to transform people into atheists. This album is so bad that it makes you lose religion.

and I just gave new ideas to those weird channels of conspiracy on youtube

 

Oct 25, 2019

this is easily Kanye's worst album

 

Oct 25, 2019

smfh @ the Ye slander still existing

 

Oct 25, 2019

my opinion might change after a couple patches

 

Oct 25, 2019

I was ool and i honestly thought this whole thing wasnt real. So kanye is actually religious now ?

 

Oct 25, 2019

Lol, Kanye is actually portraying himself as Jesus/Noah/etc in Selah. This entire project is just gonna be matyrdom.

 

Oct 25, 2019

I think its safe to say Kanye has the biggest fall off oat

"The IRS want they fifty plus our tithe
Man, that's over half of the pie
I felt dry, that's on God
That's why I charge the prices that I charge"

I just got done with a second listen and I think I can comfortably say there won't be a third. It's just bland, toothless, embarrassing. With Kanye's previous religious stuff (like ULB or Jesus Walks), he was going through something....trying to reconcile his faith with his personal failings. It was actually interesting to listen to. This is just blind church camp evangelizing.

You know how in Kanye interviews he will drop a reference to a historical figure or event and you just know he read about it once and put no further thought into the details, beyond how it could apply to HIM? Like when he's preaching about, say, Walt Disney without indicating that he knows anything about Walt Disney? That's this album, except with Jesus. He has gravitated to religion for whatever reason but it isn't clear he's done much thinking about why religion is right for him or what it all really MEANS. So we're left with surface-level, smiley God-is-good bs. I don't know where he sees the power in this message or who he thinks it's resonating with. I haven't figured out whether it's slimy opportunism or if he's really "found God" but is failing to articulate it in an interesting way, but either way, the end product...sucks.

I see this as easily his worst album - at least with Ye I saw glimmers of greatness in Ghost Town and No Mistake. Here there is absolutely nothing I want to latch on to. Nothing.

I think he made this album for two reasons. Firstly, it's a direction, as you said, so bland nobody can be mad at it. Secondly, it clearly thematically feeds into his self-importance and martyrdom which pop up on Selah, Closed on Sunday, On God, etc. @Swizz
