5 Gospel Albums to Listen to Instead of Kanye's "Jesus Is King"
Kanye doesn't need your streams.
Kanye West has finally deigned to release his long awaited new album, Jesus is King.
After multiple missed release dates and increasingly bizarre tweets and statements from the MAGA hat-wearing husband of Kim Kardashian, fans got an album that, while entertaining, is nothing new. Sure, it's radically different from anything Kanye has released in the past, and while it has its moments (if you can overlook the often off-putting preachy content of the album) it's a pretty classically-styled gospel album. But Kanye wouldn't be Kanye if he gave any credit to the icons of the genre whose work undoubtedly influenced "Jesus is King." Instead, Kanye is acting like he invented gospel music.
Instead of streaming "Jesus is King" and giving money and attention to a mentally ill zealot with problematic and damaging opinions, stream these 5 classic gospel albums.
The Lord Will Make a Way by Al Green
"The Lord Will Make a Way" is Al Green's 14th studio album,but his first foray into the world of gospel. Released in 1980, the 9-track collection reaches heights Kanye could never dream of.
