Thoughts on Kanye West "Jesus is King" Album?

I've heard good things on the music itself ( although for me, I always read lyrics before I listen to songs. Lyrics are nothing new.). Although people, christians and non-christians, have shy away from commenting on the background of Kanye and its relation to the album, I do care to hear about people's thoughts on it.

For me, I do note for myself that he does have another music project he wanted to released called Yandhi (which im guessing is Ye+Gandhi), which is interesting he went that route considering the amount of Kanye Sunday services he's been running.

What happened in Armenia? How would that influence his music?

The fact he still swears in the album and also says God isn't straight really tells me all I need to know.

Ah I see.I mean he's always mentions about his relationship with God so him doing a gospel album isn't far-fetch in comparison to maybe other artists like Snoop Dogg.

I just listened to some of the tracks and watched a couple of interviews with him. Interesting stuff. Kayne has a scattered mind that moves at a hundred miles an hour. That's has to be hard to deal with on a daily basis. I think he's for real. He's a young believer and will grow in his knowledge and maturity in the Lord.

I'm not into this kind of music at all but this track wasn't bad:

"God Is"

Interesting indeed. I just hope its not a one-time thing making an album like this. I do see that more and more secular artist are making an "ode to christianity" type projects, so i have started out with a bit of cautiousness when banking on a change in an artist. But if this is really him turning his life around, then I pray that God give him strength in his walk.
