Literally not the only main producer or only writer on any song for this album. S***'s pathetic.

Kanye needs ghostwriters to rap bars that aren't good at all. Kanye developed a fanbase because he made the music and the lyrics, now he does neither, he's just DJ Khaled but says weird s*** all the time.

Somehow, this album where Kanye is the least involved is also his worst, slightly below Ye. Defending this album is delusional, and not that's not because I'm a libtard or a militant atheist, it's because these songs are s***.

Agreed. It baffles me that he pays people to write these awful lyrics for him. Wtf happened to him? His sense of judgement? His ear for music? There’s no way Kanye played JIK back and thought it was good to go smh

perfectionist ye is gone unfortunately

Y’all just mad Jesus dont fw you

The truth is he's offloading all his work to others because he's really just over this whole music s***. He's way more interested in YEEZY. He can't get away from it though because it's what people will always associate with him.

It’s so strange because he honestly could’ve enlisted KTTers to write better lines for him. You’re Kanye f***ing West. You don’t have to do all the writing, but how can you have access to pretty much any lyricist you want and this is the result?

And the production has nice sounds but they come together in such a boring or clunky fashion. Where’s the Kanye that used to have his instrumentals seamlessly develop? That used to be able to create full 4+ minute tracks that actually left you satisfied? Who used to be a perfectionist with making beats that had various layers to them rather than just getting some random generic trap beat from YouTube like On God?

You can’t tell me this feels like an album Kanye put his blood, sweat, and tears into. Not even close. It feels like an album that was created by some interns he hired because he was too busy with Sunday Service performances.

It’s ridiculous how Kanye literally PAYS these people...THOUSANDS of dollars...

...to come up with s*** that sounds way worse than what he makes when he’s writing alone

Literally all his ghostwriters have less bars than he does, I don’t get why he relies so heavily on them

There's less credited writers on this album than his last 3...

he's basically DJ Khaled

It can't be the lyricists tho as isn't Malice and Push meant to be writing for him on this album? It must be what he's asking for and doing with them, cos those two have always written consistently top tier lyrics

When are you people gonna stop calling credited writers ghostwriters?

Check the credits, on follow god excluding producers, Ye, Jahmal Gwin and Aaron Butts are the credited writers. On god its Ye, Cyhi, and Gwin. Hands on it's just Ye and Aaron Butts. I've never heard of them dudes but I cant imagine they were writing that much

Doesn't want to take his time for it since he's busy with other business ventures, his family, SS, etc.

Anthony Fantano wrote the entire album

Jesus didn’t write or produced the bible but it’s still a dope album

Came here to say this.

He’s outsourcing and delegating. Its called intelligent business.

Unfortunately I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same if I were in his position.

I mean it's obvious now he doesn't care about the music s*** as much as he did in the past.

He has other business ventures now that take up way more of his time and he probably doesn't have the passion for it that he once had.

If you listen to the Zane Lowe interview he pretty much says he makes music more so out of principle rather than because he wants too.

Sad to see and I hope one day we get an album where he's all hands on deck just sitting there for a year just perfecting but idk if we'll ever see that again.

Unfortunately i really agree with this
