Dude this album is great, his flow is as good as ever, so no loss in rap quality.
But what’s most impressive is that gospel usually sucks, because it’s literally just “oh wow yeah Jesus is good.” Kanye’s album plays like a sermon from a thoughtful apologist. Dealing with tough ideas like what it means to be Christ-like, and the struggles of Christianity.
It’s a hopeful, sometimes bleak, thoughtful look at Christian faith, and also it’s Ye.
