Yandhi would've been better but Ye's shooting himself in the foot is better than most artists

Ye's best album, bet y'all can't change my mind. In the same paradigm as our boy user MrMusicManDOC, not into religious stuff but this is G O R G E O U S. Ye literally reinvented gospel and seems like few cared enough. Well, I attribute this the respect it deserves, as for Ye and the music industry itself (for the impact it has made to the genre), and I stand by the importance this album has so far.

the venn diagram between drug addicts & religious folk is a circle, but this album is beautiful and inspiring. Kanye is someone struggling with sex & drug addiction, and I hope he can defeat his demons

It's crazy because less than 2 weeks after I said that, I left Christianity. Still, to use a word like hate against an entire religion because you don't believe in it and don't like some people from it seems like a strong generalisation to me. Regardless, I wasn't the one who initially brought that argument of the Bible's accuracy so answering my question with you asking me for the opposite of what I'm asking the original person doesn't really help.

partially it was that i just didnt believe certain miracles within the Bible (Moses parting the Red Sea solely by himself to save the enslaved, Jesus feeding a crowd of 5000 with a few loafs of bread & fish, Jesus healing the ill with a touch, etc) but ultimately it came down to that i cant label myself a Christian if the conscious actions that i choose to do arent Christian-like. i choose to "pursue" power and excellence (which God advises against: Proverbs 11-7) because thats what i truly want over the word of God then can i truly call myself Christian? itd be facetious to say so especially because im knowingly doing that.

You need to go through some rough times in life to appreciate this one. You’re not gonna get bangers and hyped up from it (although Follow God/On God exist) but you may find a breeze of calm within your system and a mental reset which gives you more clarity for what to do next in your life. This is a special piece of work.

I noticed I usually feel the happiest around the same time that I genuinely feel like listening to JIK. Maybe it's an omen, who knows

I feel like from an objective standpoint, MBDTF and Yeezus are better overall (when considering lyricism, production, album cohesion, innovation etc.) but I agree with you from a personal standpoint. My favourite Kanye albums are his first 3 and most recent 3 (KSG, JIK and DONDA).

I've always loved the first half a bunch, but still the second half isn't connecting. Donda improves and expands on everything this album was trying to achieve

Damn, does that include the Donda statements? No way you believe JIK > Donda

I don’t think it’s better than Donda. The highs over there are some all timer songs for Ye and I personally connect with it more. That being said, JIK is way more concise and flows far better. It has direction, something which Donda lacked mid way through the album.
