12/8/2023 0 Comments Cudi montage producerIvy’s poetic feature on ‘Never Let Me Down’ goes deep on the praises and prayers: “ My spirit is a part of this that’s why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him / So it’s not me, it’s He that’s lyrical, I’m not a miracle, I’m a heaven-sent instrument.” ‘Wolves’ Jay-Z and Kanye deliver one of their greatest team-ups (although the sweary content of their verses apparently prompted a choir Kanye had invited to record to back out at the last minute) and J. If you needed a breather after being taken to church on the almighty ‘Jesus Walks’ – well, sorry: ‘College Dropout’ simply doesn’t allow it. “ So here go my single, dog, radio needs this / They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus / That means guns, sex, lies, videotape / But if I talk about God my record won’t get played, huh?” Seemingly not, after all. “ Got the Fruit of Islam in the trenches, huh? / Even though they know Yeezus is a Christian, huh?” he sneers, before harking back to the themes of ‘I Am A God’ with “ walkin’, livin’, breathin’ god, you know my past well“. While Kanye spends much of ‘Highlights’ boasting about his many accomplishments in life and music, he still can’t help but bring up his faith. This double offering from ‘The Life of Pablo’ firstly sees Kelly Price delivering a passionate spoken-word piece about the sky opening up and God “with his arms open wide, accepting me for who I am” before the guttural yelp of Young Thug ushers in ‘Highlights’ by proudly telling “ everybody I’m back in town“. Oh, and he imagines talking to Jesus at one point, too (“ He said, ‘What up, Yeezus?'”). Overly ironic song title aside (“ hurry up with my damn croissants!” is more like a demand made by a desperate despot than a deity), this frenzied ‘Yeezus’ cut sees Kanye acknowledging his belief that his mortal destiny is being determined by a higher power: “ I am a god / Even though I’m a man of God / My whole life in the hand of God / So y’all better quit playin’ with God“. It’s Kanye so who knows but I’m hearing from many industry people that “Jesus Is King” is not coming on Friday, despite people on the ground in Wyoming trying to make it happen……. But it looks like Ye’s notorious tendency to delay and tinker has come into effect, as the album has yet to materialise, with no explanation for why that might be (perhaps his current preference for Sundays could mean that it might actually drop this weekend?).įans of Kanye are, it’s fair to say, disappointed about the news. According to a picture presumably taken in the studio by Kim Kardashian, ‘Jesus Is King’ - which will include songs with titles such as ‘God Is’, ‘Baptised’ and ‘Sweet Jesus’ - was slated to arrive on your streaming platform of choice today (September 27). These overtly religious creations have since been committed to record, and a new 12-track album, titled ‘Jesus Is King’, is now apparently ready for release into the world. Since the beginning of the year, the rapper and producer has been staging regular ‘Sunday Service’ events in the US where he, a choir and a live band perform gospel-fuelled versions of Kanye hits, unlikely covers and, most intriguingly of all for his fans, new songs. Sunday has been the most important day of the week for Kanye West in 2019.
