Jesus Is King dropping midnight [Update: it's out]
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
But Blood On The Leaves wasn't even the best song on that album 🤔
Also it's not like that was some unheard of underrated diamond in the rough that he pulled out lol
🤷♂️
I really really really haven't liked anything post Yeezus
He had a few good songs on TLOP I won't deny it but there was more bad than good there
Ultralight Beam is better than every song on this record combined.
You think that the person who also put out these lyrics
and
would put out something like that on the same album?
Because if you do you're correct
Album is a Gehenna-level trash fire.

Thats the thing. Ultralight Beam is a great song. It is religious as anything on this record, but it is actually like....good.
for a rich guy that loves to sing but somehow hasn't bothered to get vocal lessons, kanye sure does love to sing
It's way too early for me to say there's only one good song, but that is the standout track to me so far.
Alright this album is like one 2d Sega Song and a bunch of music I expect to hear at Church. I have honestly no idea why I'm surprised but I'll be honest, I hate this album.
I'm scared to listen... just looking at the track list alone... this looks like it's going to sound incredibly corny. Trying to be positive going in, but it's hard ><
I want to agree, but I also don't think better singing by Kanye will make his albums any better. It kind of just is what it is, because no one is listening for his vocal talent.
I remember when Jesus is Lord started last night during the credits for the grifter film event of the year and I thought that the album was actually about to start and then boom, IMAX logo. Shit had me rebuking 25 years of Catholicism and thinking about being an atheist.
true but like, yknow, he could just bother. it's weird for someone so particular about his art he just doesn't give a fuck about his vocals.
OR
he thinks they're great
haven't listened even a single second of this album, but I'm laughing at all the Mike Dean comments.
"you must be new here" applies to most of them in this thread...
Mike Dean is like that one kid in high school who studies for the exams at the last second, passes, and thinks he works smarter/is the shit.

Chance is an even bigger nutso because he thought an album about how much he loves his wife was going to be a good "debut album."
Chance is actually friends with and looks up to Kanye, but is too big of a pushover to tell him to stop the MAGA shit.
Kanye never had his bodyguards threaten a reviewer for giving a mixtape a mediocre score and force him to play it on the radio.
Ye>Chance any day of the week.
People with taste.
Yeezus was an acclaimed album. What's this weird revisionist history?
Honestly, that track feels like straight heat compared to some of the trash on this. At least Selah, Everything We Need and Use this Gospel have some good production but like this album really is some straight doody.
The power that dude had when coming up was weird. Its pretty much scrubbed from the internet too.
your avatar stands out. I think I argued with you that Yeezus was a bad album. just recently I listened to it, and I was totally wrong about it
I would wager he thinks they're great lol. They're passable to me. Not offensive, not great.
He still has a good ear for music and some of the production is really good. I don't think that will ever be in doubt.
But the content is transparently trash. That's not art. That's hoping on a trend. A religious MAGA wave. And it makes this whole project that much more unfun from the outside looking in.
Kanye's output has oftentimes been a product of whose company he's keeping at the time he's working on something. From Cons/rhymefest/etc to where he's at now with his celeb family/Candace Owens. And it's even more obvious how that's influenced what we've seen from him since Yeezus.
TLOP was the start but that went through an arduous journey in coming out too. But that was decent at least. I don't even know what he's doing anymore with these half-assed releases.

This album, land he bought, Sunday chuch thing and promotional tour screams tax fraud and trying to reverse the MAGA stuff.
Best Kanye is when hes upset legitimately or feels slighted for not getting a Grammy or award. The last few albums feel like hes rushed them out, even with delays. It doesnt help that everyone around him are Yes men. None of the people working on the albums since Yeezus have actual careers without Good Music now. Even Nas, Cudi and Pusha have released trash the last few years without Ye's fingerprints on them.
Someone like Jay and 50 need to push this dude into a new era of music.
