Like a megachurch pastor, this whole thing is just about manipulating people's faith to make bank. It was not that long ago he was (frequently) declaring himself as God. In a couple years he'll be onto something else.

Kanye West announces he only makes Gospel music now
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
Because it's phony.
Because Kanye West knows by now that, outside of his fanbase who'll defend him no matter what he does, he really fucked up with black people with all his Trump shit.
He's using Gospel as his Get-Out-Of-Being-A-Dumbass Free Card. Because outside of a few religious references, nothing in Kanye's life or music signals to me a proclivity to make a sincere (much less good) Gospel album.
But, to be fair, this ain't just Kanye. I got this same smoke for a good half of these "evangelists" using Christ for money and clout.
Oh yeah. Honestly I forgot about all that Trump shit so the negative reception makes way more sense now lmao
I feel like Kanye has been struggling for years mentally. My question is where is the help? Where are his friends or anyone in his circle trying to help him?
He can record an album with Cudi and produce for Nas and yet neither one of them could reach out and try to reel him back in from all the dumb things he has done in the last few years?

You can't help somebody who doesn't want to be helped.
Reaching out to those in need is important. Being a voice of reason for those who need it is important. But, man...Kanye don't want it. And there's only so much you can do for a grown man who's got millions of dollars, a platform, and the ability to surround himself with sycophants who'll tell him his farts smell like Popeyes' crispy chicken sandwich.
You want to help Kanye? Stop supporting him.
Man, didn't Kanye drop I Love It earlier this year? Eh.... sounds like this is more for "marketing" or some shit.
Dropping 5 straight fantastic albums in a row, with the fifth being his best (MBDTF), is not luck. (and some would say Yeezus is just as good/the best, I don't agree but w/e)
He still makes the occasional good tracks but man... It's hard to even care about him anymore. With his comments, his public persona, etc. ugh.
Kids See Ghosts had some fire tracks. Reborn got me thru some stuff last year. Though Cudi is amazing, his voice is just... wow.
I never listened to Ye' fully, but I thought Ghost Town was a good track. (That Cudi chorus, wheeewww)

"I wanna get a whip and crash it into white-owned businesses" is THE line of the year.
This is him trying to appeal to the maga idiots, the only people who might actually buy his music now
All it took to get the Clipse get back together was for Kanye to become an Evangelical.
NEED MALICE TO GO BACK TO SINNING, AND GET IN THE STUDIO WITH PHARRELL AND CHAD.

Kanye gonna be on WoW Gospel 2020?
Fred Hammond, Cross Movement, and Kirk Franklin next album features?

Kinda unrelated but my friend just saw Chance the Rapper in Chicago and Kanye made an appearance there.
He came out at the end of the intro to Coloring Book and just sang with Chance and said "I'm here to tell all y'all that Jesus is king" and left.

Ill put my dick on a bag of doritos
Cant wait for the Gospel people to play it loud at home with their kids hahahahaha
Did anyone else read the topic title as "Kanye West announces only he can make Gospel music now" on first glance?
My first thought was that he is cynically trying to make people forget that he rubbed himself against Trump like a horny animal while wearing a MAGA hat.
I'll be satisfied if he made a gospel album solely to reunite The Clipse.
Kanye, you sly bastard.
Kanye, you sly bastard.
I'm not Christian or even into what I was raised as but Jesus Walks is one of his best songs and the spoken word part Never Let You Down hits hard. If this means he's going back to College Dropout quality then I can't see this as a bad thing. I'm never going to support him again though. Glad the reviews for whatever his last album was were terrible because the urge to listen may have been too great.
I honestly wish that he'd get some kind of help. I really think he'd be a much different person if his mom hadn't died the way she did.
Not really new.
Not really new.
In fairness, the guy seems happiest / calmest when he's with his kids.
You do you Kanye, he's obviously still struggling with something (and a lot of it probably comes from the death of his mother)
