Lotta Jesus. Great beats

It is called Jesus is king

Yeah true

what he doin with my name tho

Someone check on the CEO of Atheism

Richard Dawkins should have waited til after this to talk to joe rogan.

He says he loves the album

I’m agnostic... but I’m still crying my eyes out to Selah in my car right now.

***CHICK FIL A***

FOLLOW GOD IS SO GOOD

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO SHORT FUCKKK

Got it on repeat so f*ckin hard

It’s the flow that gets me

"Use This Gospel" sounds like when you leave your car door open.

[удалено]

Pretty sure thats the sample

It’s just a Rhodes type piano plucking one note constantly. Sounds like that though

Previous versions of Use This Gospel were so much better. Although that sax was something else I must admit.

GRAND THEFT AUTO GRAND THEFT AUTO WE IN A GAME WE IN A GAME

TIME AIN'T REAL MONEY AIN'T REAL TIMEAINTREALMONEYAINTREAL

Borderline criminal to not let Kenny blow over the outro beat

Thats chakras right?

That's actually where that sample is from lmao Edit: nevermind lol

Some very under-baked moments, but some really good tracks. It’s a shame he makes such short, spur of the moment projects these days rather than something fully formed and coherent.

Yeah that's my biggest gripe. I was introduced to him with TLOP and it's crazy transitions.

Are you saying TLOP was well thought-out?

TLOP was an actual 1 hour album at least lol

It took a lot of different releases to get to that point

SWISH

IMA FIX WOLVES

IMA FIX JIK

Yeah, TLOP is great. It's long as hell, and coherent in the fact that there's a method to the madness. Ye kind of feels slapped together.

>Some very under-baked moments This is just Kanye since TLOP. Very disappointing. I remember not too long ago, he said people tell him that "He hasn't done a finished album since Yeezus" and that's something he wanted to work on. I don't know if it's his mental health, honestly don't know how I feel about him being off the meds, he's all over the place in recent years.

Seriously, ksg was was a god tier project. I'll be satisfied with anything he releases for the next couple years cuz of the masterpiece that is ksg.

This man, KSG did a better job of making me feel in touch with my own Spirituality instead of an album with JESUS literally in the title

KSG touched more on mental health at least for me anyway which feels more real since a lot of people are experiencing that.

The album would be a 10, but on Water you can really tell that one of the audio engineers was having premarital sex :/ too bad

It’s good but damn. Touch the Sky came on after the album finished and I almost shed a tear on what it used to be.

Devil in a new dress for me 😢

Top 5 Kanye songs for me. Best Rick Ross verse of all time.

[удалено]

you are blessed

I got All Mine, which is a great transition from Jesus Is Lord

I got Runaway, and first was like "damn, a remix" cause the last track was so short

Last track was sounding fire and then it cut off so fast

I got "I love it " , Spotify really knows how to keep the mood going

I Wonder for me, and I feel like it blows every song on JIK out of the water

I wonder is a classic.

You Know What? Maybe You’re Right. ... ... ... Aight?

Haha yeah fuck man. Every song people have listed that came on after I would take in a heartbeat.

I got Father Stretch My Hands lol, I was listening to it thinking it was part of the album but then realized that it wasn’t even a part of the album.

All Falls down played for me and I was like damn, this is what good mixing sounds like lmao.

I got heartless and was caught off guard

same but with gorgeous

Same here but with waves 😢

Smh real friends came on right after

went straight into MBDTF and still playing through it 😭

I got violent crimes and I cried

I love it but I also hate it

You my Chick-fil-a

That song slowly turns really good

So funny to see people jump to conclusions upon a couple hours of listening.

Yeah, even though I don’t necessarily vibe with the lyrics his vocal melodies and the emotion behind them is really beautiful. The production is so god damn good, second listen through and it’s easier to vibe with the vocals already.

i hate it, its awesome*

bro, use this gospel is fucking amazing

It would've been better if Kenny G's part was mixed with the rest of the song. The bare naked solo didn't hit as hard.

Wish the beat right after the solo wasn’t just at the end of the song for whatever reason and played during the vocals

We need the Pusha T “Yuuughh” back before his verse on Use This Gospel

i know a lot of people won't and don't like this yet or ever will, but this is definitely going to be a really interesting point in Kanye's legacy when we look back and I personally think it's really interesting.

It reminds me of how Bob Dylan basically did the same thing at the end of the 70’s and into the 80’s. People were so confused and a lot of his fans put off but it really just provided another layer in his really epic legacy that people are still trying to figure out to this day. I suspect it’ll be the same for Kanye

This is exactly how I see it ! whether or not it'll be as great as how Dylan did it we'll see later, but for now yeah there's a huge difference between pre-ye and post-ye albums.

My thoughts exactly. This sums up the last decade of Kanye perfectly. My bet with this is that we’ll see a manic spike from him, and the next album will be so crazy radical that this album seems like a kids bop tape. He can’t keep this up.

I doubt it, having kids does wild things to people and their priorities.

Normally I would agree with you, but the mental deterioration Kanye has showed in the last 5 years is crazy to me. The man really went from “I Love It” and “XTCY” to this in a matter of a few years. I think he’s exhausted this “I’m a pure man” vibe and the negative reviews of this project will result in an even crazier kanye.

Kinda hope you’re right lol ofc with him staying healthy.

> The man really went from “I Love It” and “XTCY” to this in a matter of a few years. You mean literally ONE year lol edit: responded to the wrong comment it seems whoops

He was also the creative director of the PornHub awards last year and designed awards specifically to look like alien sex toys.

Thats what makes this album so fucking bonkers

October 2020 Yuscifer October 2021 Yodhisattva

XTCY and I Love It were literally just over a year ago. August and September, 2018, respectively. Ye had his revelation about Christ in April... No one should expect this to be a long term phase yet.

There's going to be a very clear line between Post-ye and Pre-ye kanye when looking back on his albums, that's for sure.

I’ve been a fan of his for years that what’s everyone saiid about graduation, 808s , and yeezus. Kanye just doesn’t whatever he wants so you never know what you’re gonna get down the line.

i mean, it's true there is a big difference pre-808s and post-808s kanye too. it's not a bad thing, it just shows an artist going through different phases i guess.

We can hope.

[удалено]

fax, even tho i miss the line "thank god im bipolar" :/

I miss the "YEEZY YEEZY YEEZY YEEZY"

[удалено]

Pusha t recorded his verse in a Wawa bathroom to a different beat

Ima fix JIK

Releasing Yandhi would be a start

Just think about those African beats man... What you could do with them

Absolutely unreal production

On God was the waviest fucking song

Pierre never disappoints

On god is my favorite rn

Hands down 'On God' is my fav too. Reminds me of a similar feeling that Waves offered on Pablo when it was added.

This is my biggest takeaway by far. On God, especially to me, comes on and I just think "wow, yeah, this is why I keep coming back to Kanye."

I mean Pi’erre produced it lol

It could've been a combined effort and he just let him put his tag

Yes.

[удалено]

Same lol

Exactly.

True bruh

I really liked it and I didn't think I would. I think it's better than YE, seems way more listenable. The religious part I can't relate to really, but then again I couldn't relate to dating supermodels or being oppressed because I'm black either. It's still really well made and very original. I figure most people will talk shit because it's Kanye and hating him is a meme at this point. I don't give a shit and I don't think he gives a fuck either.

Jesus

Eh. The leaks got me way too excited.

I reaaaaly wanted 80 degrees

Add another 10/10 to the unreleased vault lmao. Throw it in alongside Never See Me Again, Bound 1, and Mama's Boyfriend

And I Feel Like That and Can U Be and Eyes Closed

Never See Me Again remains a top 5 Kanye song

[удалено]

[удалено]

rip law of attraction

RIP Law of Attraction, Selah OG and New Body

Production team clappin CHEEKS rn

They getting married first though 😳

Law Of Atteaction was so much better than Use This Gospel

Also The Storm is much much better than everything we need

The storm was soo good

This shit made me enjoy X ahah

#OK BITCH IM TURNT

Yeah he straight up ruined that and didn't even bother polishing the vocals.

I kinda wish the drums at the end were actually used in the rest of the song

[удалено]

Needs better mixing and could be longer but I love it.

Yeah after listening to it 50 times its starting to grow on me, deff underhyped

I hated most of it at first, growing on me like crazy though

Wait til Fantano likes it and y'all opinions all change.

I really loved the album with all my heart, but i don't think Fantano will like it.

I mean he MBDTF a 6 so who knows

same, I just hope he doesn't give it da NOT GOOD

So hard not to sing the yandhi lyrics on the changed songs

I want the old version of Chakras back, those drums were so fucking good

Fanteno will give it 3-4

I’m thinking he’ll give a 5-6. Biggest hit being the lyrics likely.

fanatano so unpredicted, idek these days

I’d bet money on him wearing the blue flannel no matter what. I’m excited for it regardless. I have a lot of thoughts already. And always love to hear what the melon has to articulate whether I agree or not

I've come to notice I just have completely different tastes in music than that dude. Respect to him cause he works really hard and his reviews are really well-made, but it's just subjective and I think we like completely different stuff lol

It's kinda focused on the vibe tho I think

I don't understand how some songs sound worse? Everything We Need is just The Storm but with an emptier beat. Not to mention that the mixing is pretty bad on a lot of tracks. Some of the vocals sound like they were recorded through a cell phone. I don't mind shorter albums, but 11 tracks 27 minutes? Ye and KSG at least let you get into the song since but so many of these songs are only 2 minutes and feel like the START of a great idea but not a finished product.

[удалено]

The beats are really good, but the shitty mixing is so distracting it takes a lot away from the album.

Listening to it right now, Kanye’s vocals on Selah are mixed awfully

Yeah who tf engineered this? Regardless of how you feel about the music I wish it sounded like it came from one of the greatest recording artists of all time

Mixing is hard and takes ages. I don't think whoever did it had much time.

That’s on Ye tho. He had a month since the listening sessions to fix it.

[удалено]

lmao to the people who listened to a gospel album and were upset to see gospel lyrics

[удалено]

“Now if I fuck this model, and she just jesus’d her Jesus”

not upset by the inspiration for the lyrics, just the execution was weak af. The problem is people were expecting a Jesus Walks level shit and there's nothing anywhere near that good on here.

Ya what don’t people get about this. We know from the leaks that they came up with these lyrics the same way cartman did for faith + 1 in south park. He took good songs and then did Christian madlibs with them.

Kanye should’ve cleared his throat before singing God Is

that's what made the song for me though. felt raw and emotional. favorite moment on the album apart from the production across the board

LOL

Feelin a little sad. On the one hand, I’m all for whatever makes people happy. And Kanye clearly seems happier than he ever has. And that’s more important than sick beats. But at the same, hard not to feel the best days of Ye are firmly behind us at this point. I can’t deal with multiple albums that are just this same theme over and over. And that’s what gospel music is. Beautiful instrumentality and harmony, but utterly dull and repetitive lyrical content. This is just not something I’ll want to listen to a lot. Water was almost a transcendent beauty...until he just says Jesus do “x” for a full minute straight. There are other examples throughout the album. Maybe not the best production values, but still extremely enjoyable beats, synths and choirs. But there’s just nothing interesting going on lyrically. I don’t feel good that the selfish part of me wishes he never started this born again thing, because he seems happy. And that’s awful. Overall I’m just kinda bummed.

Hahaha this comment and the edit sum up /r/Kanye

I hate this album, it's awesome.

This shit is like a half-baked cookie. Some parts hit so hard, but some shit you just wanna spit out

>Said I'm finna do a gospel album What have you been hearin' from the Christians? They'll be the first one to judge me Make it feel like nobody love me They'll be the first one to judge me Feelin' like nobody love me Told people God was my mission What have you been hearin' from the Christians? They'll be the first one to judge me Make it feel like nobody love me > > > >\[...\] > > > >I deserve all the criticism you got If that's all the love you have, that's all you got To sing of change, you think I'm joking To praise His name, you ask what I'm smoking Yes, I understand your reluctancy, yeah But I have a request, you see Don't throw me up, lay your hands on me Please, pray for me *Hold myself on death* Hold it down, all fallen down Somebody pray for me I honestly feel his sincerity

I'm so happy for him that he had the backbone to release this song. I've thought so heavily about this since the album was announced.

Man, hopefully that kid dies in surgery so he doesn’t have to wake up to this album.

Funny comment you ruined with r/awardspeechedits

He still has a chance to delete

Ayyyy he did it

LMAO we really cyber bullied this dude

lol

bro this shit fucking sent me. massive W.

You ruined it with the edits man

Just like Kanye.

Honestly, after hearing the album, it’s fine, I like some of the tracks but I feel like I need to cleanse my pallet with some classic Ye quotes: If i fucked this model and she just bleached her asshole and I get bleach on my t shirt imma feel like an asshole. ————————— Chasin' love, all the bittersweet hours lost Eatin' Asian pussy, all I need was sweet and sour sauce ————————— Or maybe this one will do: I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (Whoop!) I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck I like my dick sucked, I'll buy you a sick truck I'll buy you some new tits, I'll get you that nip-tuck How you start a family? The condom slipped up I'm a sick fuck, I'm inappropriate I like hearin' stories, I like that ho shit I wanna hear mo' shit, I like the ho shit Send me some mo' shit, you triflin' ho bitch (Bitch, bitch, bitch)

Feel like people are gonna disagree hard with me but I love God Is. That song is so goddamn raw and Kanye’s voice cracking just added to that for me. I fell in love with it immediately. I enjoy a lot of the other songs but God Is hit me different and hell I’m an atheist

Imagine getting downvoted for liking a Kanye album on r/Kanye

This lol

Y'all sleeping on water

I want people to trash this album to hell so he makes a come back like MBDTF

Thing is MBDTF was more because of the Taylor incident backlash, not because people didn’t like 808s

Nah that's revisionist history. The reaction to 808s was a big reason why he was so lyrical (remember he came off of two weak projects lyrically) and brought in so many classic rap artists on there.

I just want him to give this this tlop treatment. Remaster and mix songs and maybe add a few

Ye put out a whole gospel album today, and somehow couldn't make a better gospel song than Ultralight Beam.

Not for everyone I understand their problems with it. HOWEVER this hit all the right notes with me. This is what I wanted and Kanye delivered. See y’all in Sunday School 🙏🙏🙏

This is how I feel, I understand why some don’t like it

On my first listen it was a quick 6/10 as I felt half the tracks were unfinished. On my second and third replays, and listening to Water, Closed on Sunday, and Everything we Need multiple times (I thought these were the weakest tracks), they quickly grew on me. I personally think the mixing's fine. I feel like the graininess is intended - that could just be me, though. Understandable people might want a cleaner experience. I think Follow God is one of Kanye's best tracks to date. I don't think there were meant to be bangers or slaps on this track, but Follow God hits that spot for me. I rate it 8/10 now. I wish some of the tracks were longer, like Selah. Also I can't help but kinda laugh at some cheese lyrics here and there. All in all I really like this. REALLY like it.

Anyone else find the lyric about him charging prices for shoes and stuff so his family doesn’t starve super fucked up? Dude there are people starving right now in this country. You’ll be ok even if you weren’t selling Dad hats for $45. I’m a huge Kanye fan but that line was bizarre and really makes me question how genuine the theme of the album is.

[удалено]

So different and crazy, new Ye

ATHEISM IS NO MORE

Am I really the only one who really likes this album?

Nope, the lyrics could be better as everyone else has said but the beats are pretty great. Definitely worth another listen for me.

I like it a lot. The beats are dope. The songs have a great sound. Production is on point imo. I'm not the religious type. Ive never been a big lyrics guy; I never considered Kanye to be a great lyricist anyway. However, Kanye is an amazing artist. He's always doing something new, and this album didn't disappoint. I could see this being his most impactful album, but not the most loved by his fans.

10/10 beats, 3/10 lyrics. Best songs: Selah Follow God Water Everything We Need EDIT: adding On God, its solid.

Mix is trash, but the album is really good. Honestly the cringe lyrics made me laugh my ass off and i don’t mind em. Production is what makes Kanye Kanye and he nailed it

100% agree. Dont understand people who came into this expecting amazing lyricism, especially on this sub

Definitely top 2 Kanye gospel albums
