The church itself, facing growing concern over the complexity and potentially impure nature of music, standardized a set of rules for plainchants. The music must be performed by strictly male vocals, unaccompanied by any instrumentation, devoid of rhythm, and Latin in monophonic textures. As the centuries progressed, the Ordinary of the Mass established, orchestration and composition entered the mix, drawing in new churchgoers with rhythmic worship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Kanye West doesn\u2019t care about any of that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">West seems to have a similar goal to the integration of the Ordinary, however, his understanding of Christianity seems like it could have been garnered from watching an episode of VeggieTales with North.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The 42-year-old patriarch of the genre espouses his newfound partnership with the Lord on his ninth studio album <em>JESUS IS KING.<\/em> It\u2019s not as unprecedented a move as many think; one of the greatest philosophers (just as West fancies himself) music as ever seen, Bob Dylan, found Christ at roughly the same age and released a string of three Christian albums that divide fans to this day. West\u2019s pivot plays more naturally given his prior musings on faith in top 40 tracks such as the marching condemnation of religious suppression \u201cJesus Walks.\u201d His sentiment on that song alone gives more insight into West\u2019s faith and his view on personal piety than <em>JESUS IS KING<\/em> does in its entire 11-track, 27-minute runtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Lyrically, <em>JESUS IS KING <\/em>rings hollow, and at its best, confused. Hammy religious allusions and imagery strewed throughout, West grapples with his past secular life and desires so badly to prove his faith. His combination of these elements with modern hip-hop tropes borders parody, however not in the campy \u201cbleached asshole\u201d way West\u2019s fans are used to. There are a few sweet moments in which West captures what his religion means to him; \u201cAnd I know, I know God is the force that picked me up\/I know Christ is the fountain that filled my cup\u201d he sings, approaching falsetto, allowing his voice to crackle with emotion, \u201cI know God is alive.\u201d These lyrics, if nothing else, show a man who considers himself a deity humbled at the feet of another. When Ye switches his focus to business, he\u2019s his witty self again, \u201cOff the 350s He supplied\/The IRS want they fifty-plus our tithe\/Man, that&#8217;s over half of the pie\/I felt dry, that&#8217;s on God\/That&#8217;s why I charge the prices that I charge\/I can&#8217;t be out here dancin&#8217; with the stars\/No, I cannot let my family starve.\u201d In a way, this contradictory show of greed is the most authentically Christian line on the album.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Generally, however, West\u2019s implementation of religious elements obscure the sun that his discography orbits: him. The Kanye West canon is rich with personal history, now 15 years into his career, and for someone who has so consistently treated his lyrical content as an evolving character study, it\u2019s a shame to see him drop it here for thinly-wrought Biblical references.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Oh, and the \u201cChick-fil-a\u201d line is bad right now, but a \u201cdamn croissant\u201d legacy lies in its future wake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Christ and West make for a grand production duo, however. A glorious concoction of gospel choirs and massive drum hits, \u201cSelah\u201d bellows with <em>My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy<\/em> (2010) maximalism. \u201cOn God\u201d equips the church organist with an OP-1, a pitch bender, and an arpeggiator in West\u2019s second collaboration with Pi\u2019erre Bourne. The only thing burning in the Church of Ye besides his millions of secular follower\u2019s skin is the dance floor. \u201cEverything We Need\u201d proves another successful collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign. Fred Hammond\u2019s vocoded pleas for prayer trip over themselves as if he can hardly hold them in and fill the mix of the otherwise minimalist \u201cHands On.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">In terms of instrumentals, there\u2019s hardly a weak track to be found. However, none of the songs here approached the multifaceted structures of something like <em>Yeezus\u2019<\/em>s (2013)<em> <\/em>\u201cHold my Liquor,\u201d replete with a guitar solo, thematic variations, and atmospheric vocal polish. Nothing on <em>JESUS IS KING<\/em> cooked long enough to be so fully formed. A song like \u201cFollow God\u201d is a lyrical barrage over a characteristically Kanye beat, however, it never evolves past that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cEverybody wanted Yandhi \/ Then Jesus Christ did the laundry,\u201d remarks Kanye in the mindset that his newfound Christian slant makes <em>JESUS IS KING<\/em> inherently superior to his prior efforts. However, that\u2019s as far as the sentiment really goes; a wash, which after repeated plays wears thin. The stink and dirt gradually make their way back between Mr. West\u2019s threads. While there are some inspiring shows of faith and chuckle-worthy lines, the quality of his lyrics has never stood in such stark contrast to that of his instrumentals. Kanye sounds like he\u2019s struggling for something to say, or he simply has too much to say and needed some help from God to get it done. Whatever the case, West stumbles on <em>JESUS IS KING<\/em>, only saved by his own his withstanding curation and production hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"
