I don’t expect everyone to like this album. If you don’t have a spiritual connection to God, then this album probably isn’t for you.

I don’t care about all of the “It was better when it was Yandhi…” talk. I didn’t follow those leaks closely so all I have to go by is the finished version of JIK that was released

SELAH
FOLLOW GOD
CLOSED ON SUNDAY
ON GOD
EVERYTHING WE NEED
WATER
GOD IS
HANDS ON
USE THIS GOSPEL

All great songs.

This album was missed potential. So much was cut and removed for basically no reason

See, I feel like this is only if you followed the leaked/unfinished stuff. I didnt. So I'm judging this album based off of what was presented in its final form.

True.

Jujutsu IS Kaisen

"With this elementary 'my first day in church' level of writing"

Everything doesn't have to be Nas level writing.

I think the simplistic writing on this helps because it makes it more digestible.

We can't hold a gospel album to the same standards as a "rap" album.

For people looking to pick up an easy listening gospel album that doesn't make you work too hard, this album hits the nail on the head.

I liked it a lot

Never understood this debate OP

Some of the most emotionally moving hymns have simple writing

JIK is a classic in my eyes as a contemporary Christian album especially with the other options out there rn

Yes

“ . I can imagine asking him to quote a bible verse would lead to one of those rare moments where he completely freezes up because he's been caught out on his 'BS' “

Man, I believe in God 100% and I don’t think I can even quote a Bible verse lol.

We can’t judge someone else’s relationship with God.

They’re just not really used to (contemporary) gospel music, and as a result, they hold it to the same standards as rap music.

I recall a video or tweet where someone showed there was heaps of quotes and references to the Bible on this album (or it might’ve been from the old Kanye podcast)

I thought the writing was bold but the only memorable great lines were bars that could’ve been on any Ye album

My favourite gospel songs are not lyrically super intricate or scripture heavy, good gospel to me is always emotionally resonant and soulful
