But that’s where Kanye first opened up from an unexpected angle and devoted a significant portion of that album to battling his inner demons. You could say there was nothing surprising about “ye” either. That too did not surprise the listener in any way and was remembered first and foremost for what surrounded its release: postponements, changes on the fly and coming out at the very last moment. It can only be compared to “The Life of Pablo”. Probably, in my ranking of Kanye albums, “Jesus is King” would have come in just last, 11th place. Die-hard fans didn’t hear anything new on “Jesus is King” at all. It’s still the same Kanye – with his love of soul (“Follow God”), 808’s minimalism (“Selah”) and spot-on use of guest guests (Ty Dolla $ign and the Clipse band). Like he wasn’t already giving up swearing on “808s & Heartbreak.”

Like his breakthrough hit wasn’t called “Jesus Walks”. So, he devoted an entire release to faith. Well, the man stopped cursing and gave up vulgar sex punches. And now it’s come to me: I can’t analyze “Jesus Is King”, take it apart and explain why “Kanye isn’t the same anymore” or vice versa.

For a long time I couldn’t figure out what it was that wasn’t working.

And has been reblogged so many times it’s embarrassing to say it out loud. This lyric should have been out a week ago, when the whole internet was discussing Kanye’s new album. Kanye West’s new album has received the worst reviews from critics and listeners in the artist’s career.

Does 808s and heartbreak have swearing
