real

i dunno in what sense u refer to jik as a culture-shifting album, but i think it may have some small effect in that it was a pretty much anti-market album, which is why i agree w those who consider it a passion project. a lot of mainstream music is being made based on what people think will sell well, and kanye basically said "nah not that, this album is all about christ and lessons related to christ"

maybe it'll influence more passion projects in the future. maybe not, though, cus the rzn JIK sold well was primarily that it was a kanye album. not many artists can accomplish similar ROI on whatever they may be more esoterically (compared to mainstream music topics) passionate about. and ROI matters a lot if you're signed

shocker: people who were expecting kanye to not do everything he can to appeal to a WASP audience are let down

another shocker: they still have hopes that he’ll stop this act

final shocker: kris jenner knows how to market people in her family

If the world going to s*** in the next years even more

Religion might make a biiiiiiig comeback

jesus likes it so it must be good

What shift tho, who in the mainstream is making more religious or spiritual music after jik

the shift is that he made it

The fact that hes done this for almost 2 years, and 3 albums and Sunday service almost every week should tell u it ain't an act lol he been consistent with it when hes usually the most inconsistent person.

Coloring Book>>>

Nah section 80 tbh

who else is doing it

What the f*** are you trying to say

the radio is not full of Selahs and Follow God’s now dawg nothing has changed

Never understood ppl calling JIK trash. Is it great no can you call it mid sure but trash? Lol y’all making it seem like it’s the big day, relapse territory

radio dictates culture ?

Spotify is not full of Selahs and Follow God’s now dawg nothing has changed

a communist yet still a cultural elitist

would Marx approve

a European wrote Das Kapital so I guess you can't talk about Marx now

Spotify?

pls tell me you not one of those posters who only care about fw sales

No one is imitating Jesus is King

it’s a very simple concept. The album influenced zero rappers

I don’t think you understand the word impact

did I use it?

You responded to someone saying the album had no impact with a counterargument

not talking about imitation that still has time to come. we talking bout shift, a change to how things are done

What is your argument that it shifted any thing? There is no examples of anything shifting
