Do U know how much pressure Ye would have if he had to match the rest of his discography which is nearly perfection? Why would he want that? If he did that it would probably come out terrible because he would be trying too hard. Also the left field s*** he would say in his older albums won’t be said anymore because he’s older now. So at this point we’re just gonna have to get used to this.

of course it's that's too much pressure (even though I think Ye loves pressure)

but I feel like you can't really blame most people it's just nature

if something was a high level for so long and it noticeably drops a few notches it's only natural to feel some sort of disappointment and longing for that prime especially when that prime was THAT high and lasted THAT long. he's not just any regular artist

I def understand the disappointment, but he’s not garbage. We should’ve known this is what it’s come too after Ye turned out the way it did.

you're right I give you that.

But I will say that in defense of everyone who's turned off by God-centric themes, it is very overwhelming on this album. he didn't hold back at all. He laid it on at the max level

not even kanye could make me buy some merch that has jesus on it. I'm not religious at all but I also can see past it.

I was just so mad at how poorly developedd ye was, both beats being uninteresting and vocals a half-baked, mumbling mess. So if he's articulate and the flow is good over some interesting production I could really care less.

I'm here for the artistic standard we all used to hold Kanye to. And even if this doesn't reach that standard.. it's still far better than what we've got in the past year or two IMO.

yeah I agree he ain't garbage. he's always gonna be above average compared to most others, he's too talented to be anything less

it's only fair to compare Ye to himself

i'm with you on all of this.

JIK is by no means Kanye’s best work but it’s still a really solid album, tracks like Hands On and God Is are proof that Kanye can still make quality songs. The album has its gems and it’s misses. Follow God, On God, Use This Gospel are all fire. But the fact that JIK is getting so much hate is ridiculous to me, it’s like y’all letting the General public’s opinion sway your own. We know that a lot of people aren’t f***ing with Kanye anymore ever since the MAGA incident, I’m sure over half of the people calling JIK trash didn’t even bother giving it a listen. This album is not trash, it is solid. Kanye has one of the best discography’s so comparing it to his older stuff is just unrealistic. Enjoy the music for what it is. His prime is over, we should be glad he’s even releasing anything at this point. And also if your an atheist and you aren’t rocking with it, THATS OK. Doesn’t mean it’s trash, I can understand you not wanting to listen to that subject matter because it’s not where your beliefs fall.

This s***s so stupid. No one cares that it’s about God. Can the defenders stop making straw men arguments about this? And I’m gonna compare it to the rest of his discography... it’s the only thing you can compare it to. What kind of defense is that it’s obviously not gonna be as good as the rest of his albums, so that means it’s good?

I feel like I’m going crazy this s*** is completely half assed and people are saying how hard these songs are. Sincerely don’t get it

And it’s not about the subject matter. He’s made good religious songs before

It’s the terrible mixing, unfleshed songs, terrible lyrics at times (Water verse).

He doesn’t put effort into it anymore and it shows

ELYJAH

KANYE WEST IS A 42 YEAR OLD FATHER OF 4. HE WILL NOT MAKE THE SAME MUSIC HE MADE 15 YEARS AGO.

WE ARE BLESSED TO STILL BE RECEIVING CONTENT FROM HIM AT ALL.

Kanye albums used to not have misses though

El Coche

Drunk and Hot Girls and See You in my Nightmares are both misses and people still say Graduation or 808s are two of his best works
