5 Gospel Albums to Listen to Instead of Kanye's "Jesus Is King"

Kanye West

By Ovidiu Hrubaru

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.

What Else Would Donald Trump Sharpie? #Sharpiegate

Twitter users jumped into action after Donald Trump promoted a sharpied forecast map of Hurricane Dorian.

Imagine if you had a massive following on Twitter (maybe because, hypothetically, you were the president of the United States or something), and you tweeted something scientifically inaccurate that had the potential to negatively affect thousands of people's lives.

For instance, here's Trump's proof that the US army really did take over British airports during the Revolutionary War in the late 1700s.

Here's Trump's proof that he really does have bigly hands.

Here's Trump's most recent hole-in-one from his daily taxpayer-funded presidential golf outing.

And here's a candid shot of Trump on the course looking like an absolute unit, as usual.

Here's some solid evidence that Trump actually destroyed Hillary in the popular vote.

And here's how Trump is polling incredibly well against every possible Democrat nominee for 2020.

Turns out Trump wasn't lying about his crowd sizes, either!

Trump also officially completed the border wall. This is a fact, with photo receipts.

Trump never knew dead pedo-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, either. He never even met the guy once.
