'This is Kanye having a Kanye moment.'

with Black people. And his wielding of gospel as a tool for that vindication makes sense when you look at the role the genre has played within Black American communities throughout history. From the cathartic comfort of slavery-era spirituals to the more contemporary gospel that formed theof Black resistance during the Civil Rights era, it’s a way to both unite its custodians in a shared experience, and redeem them through that spiritual cleansing.

And to be fair, this is far from Ye’s first foray into expressing his faith through his music. It’s why some people don’t necessarily see his latest moves as completely disingenuous. “Kanye has always incorporated gospel into his music, as early as his debut,” says A. Harmony, a music journalist and critic based in Toronto. "He's just never made this much of a spectacle of it before.

tayobero But it damn sure helped

tayobero Hey CoryHepola didn't we just talk about this on wccoradio? Kanye is trying to pimp out the gospel music industry and sell as many albums and tshirts as he can buy to fatten his pockets. Thanks but no thanks!

well written but maybe a little harsh. this doesn't take into account his insecurities and desire to always do new things, make 'genius' moves, which is how he sees himself. there is an earnestness that wasnt taken into account that may not absolve him but it cleanses him...a bit

Godless sinners at teen vogue are salty that Christian ideas are becoming popular again

hallecherryyy we don’t need “teen vogue” either and yet y’all still here 🤷🏽‍♀️

lol delete this

Who are they to dictate what gospel music needed?

this was an unnecessarily mean article. thank God that some of us have already made up our minds about Kanye and the album and this article's meaness won't change a thing.

I know when I’m looking for the authority on gospel music I generally go to a toxic atheist like Tayo Bero who has worshipped nothing but her own victimhood since the day she was born. God bless you Tayo but your victimhood is never going to love you back.

I disagree , there are billions of children who never know true hallelujah

The writer of this article is a hater. Instead of bashing him,pray for him (hands on).Read the Book of Acts where Saul has a changed heart after experiencing Gods love and grace. We’re supposed to welcome those who are turning to Christ not push them away 🙄. I enjoyed the album.

Let’s be honest, y’all would bash anything he puts out at this point.

This is Kanye having a manic episode.

Kanye West Benefits From Gospel. Does Gospel Benefit From Kanye West?When a secular artist experiments with gospel, mainstream listeners often see it as a bold stylistic leap. But those same listeners rarely give contemporary gospel artists the same (or any) conside… His music sucks now. He's lost his edge. It’s just marketing I view nothing Kanye does as a bold stylistic leap, but rather as a desperate stretch to pretend anything he does has meaning.
