Kanye West's new album comes on the heels of prolonged displays of narcissism and an embrace of President Trump that have alienated many of his old fans, writes GerrickKennedy.
On Wednesday, weeks after the projects were supposed to be released, West played his new gospel-driven album and accompanying IMAX film for fans.The idea of restoring one’s self — in West’s case, that’s meant becoming a born-again Christian — is at the core of the artist’s new gospel-influenced album and accompanying IMAX film, “Jesus Is King.
“He had one of the best hip-hop runs of all time,” says veteran hip-hop journalist Keith Murphy. “Kanye comes from black intellectualism and black excellence. But you can’t go around wearing a MAGA hat saying it’s God’s practical joke. What he’s doing, mixing politics into religion, sounds like a combustible cocktail.”West has never been far from the teachings of Christ.
The invite-only gatherings were described by his wife, Kim Kardashian West, as a “musical ministry” and featured faith-based reworkings of West’s repertoire, plus spirited takes on R&B, soul and traditional gospel records.
