When he thinks Larry David is him

you werent supposed to actually like paulie... hes just an entertaining piece of s***

yea just got old a bit at points, most of his side ventures were hilarious. I did feel bad for the guy when his mom turned out to a hooah

when he hung that painting of tony and the horse in his apartment

Drake fans really comparing CLB to The White Album

They both got predominately white covers, I'll give 'em that

this bootleg version of Donda with the swears added back in is hitting

@Elric
My reassessment of Jesus is King after a few listens (first time listening multiple times since its release):

• Every Hour: cool I guess
• Selah: mixed feelings; cool build-up, but the lyrics are clearly rush edited from the original version. Vocals and rapping are very subpar
• Follow God: unlistenable; that clipping in the beat still destroys my ears.
• Closed on Sunday: chick fil a stuff is dumb, outro section is cool. Despite the rasp, Kanye showing his improvement as a singer.
• On God: dumb lyrics, uninspiring rapping, cool beat
• Everything We Need: this was quite pleasant on the ears actually. Best song.
• Water: that beat be bouncing, great atmosphere, the Kanye verse throws it off a bit, though I guess it's more of a prayer than a verse... we'll let it slide
• God Is: after DONDA, this is pretty good. 24 vibes, like a precursor to the heartache of Come to Life. Can tell it's a track actually built around Kanye's newfound love for Christ, not a Jesus-washed version of a previously secular song. A bit too much rasp.
• Hands On: This and "Selah" are def the songs people talking about Kanye's rapping falling off at the time. Cool beat, bad writing. I like the outro.
• Use This Gospel: f***ing terrible.
• jesus is lord: Kanye forgot to finish this song

Definitely Kanye's weirdest album. Jarring, not sonically, but as a Kanye album. Feels like an extension of the mental health stuff he was going through with Jesus/God as his shrink. I think the Yandhi turned JiK songs are proof of Ye truly trying to wash away his sins and 'cleaning' these tracks were his way of cleaning his sins. Overall, inconsistent as f***, production easily the best part, Kanye struggles mightily at times and I think he truly loves this album cause it probably helped him through some hard times. I previously rated this a 4/10. I'll go as high as a 5 now

Might even have to put it above ye. That re-listen shows how rushed that was. Kanye's least interesting sonics by far

This jam when they were in Italy

@Elric @fuk_an_ad_lib @Koala @RASIE

definitely sounds like he needs to clear his throat at times but I've always thought God Is is great

same i only recently starting enjoying Paulie. He is just an a****** tho

i’m never itt but yall having fun i see

always crayz to see a poster i know from elsewhere wander their way itt

I love donda more than pablo these days

It’s all I listen to

the latter while I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I believe Ye has his heart in the right place but he's still enabling patriarchal bs (don't get me wrong I don't think those articles attacking are totally justified. Much of it is pretty shallow). I think that it's def a good thing to forgive people but that's more on the part of the victims rather than Ye. and they don't want to and they have every right not to imo.

In short, this is delusional garbage imo

same.

I think it's a good bit better than Pablo. The songs feel more organic and somehow more realized. While Pablo might have had better sequencing the songs often suffered from being a bit too simplistic or short.
