It took a minute, but Kanye West finally showed up this week with Jesus Is King, his long-awaited, much-delayed album. The project leans heavily toward gospel and praise music, which is in line with Kanye’s Sunday Service gatherings over the past year.
He joined James Corden this week, but you know ‘Ye’s got to keep it unique. So instead of singing in the car, they move it all the way up to a 747. And since there are so many seats, an entire gospel choir is able to join them!
Kanye seems slightly uncomfortable and not entirely on board for the first few minutes, but James is able to loosen him up before we get an unbelievable version of “Jesus Walks”… with some notable lyric changes.
‘Ye spends a lot of time talking about his spiritual awakening, but also boosts his Yeezy line and insists his marriage to Kim Kardashian is “heavenly”. In fact, he reveals that their family won’t be complete until they have 7 children.
Throughout the clip, Kanye looks on edge and kind of tired. But the experience of a full choir flying the friendly skies is unforgettable. Check out the clip above, and listen to Jesus Is King now, or check out his biggest hits ranked according to your listens, hearts, and shares on Kanye West: DNA!
