“God’s not finished,” Kanye West sings repeatedly at the end of one of his new songs, “24.” Being made in God’s image, West very much relates to that; he doesn&#…

, probably the two most widely despised figures in music in 2021 so far, for the former rocker’s rape and sexual assault charges and the latter rapper’s less and less repentant-seeming homophobia.

And West is definitely not looking to reach out to Drake to attend Sunday Service. His Canuck nemesis never gets mentioned by name, of course, but he’s called out in spirit often enough: “Move out of the way of my release / Why can’t losers never lose in peace,” West warns in “Junya” , and in “Ok Ok,” it’s “You wanna come in and play with the G.O.A.T. — bow,” he commands.

But some of the guests, certainly, are down with the mission, like the previously none-too-sacred-leaning Weeknd, who brings out an unknown gospel side on “Hurricane” with a chorus as ineffable as any on his albums’ that declares, “Finally free, found the God in me / And I want you to see, I can walk on water.

“Lord I Need You” is not the only ADHD song on the album that starts as an anthem of devotion and then trips off in an entirely different direction. So is “Jesus Lord,” which gets off to a Christian start with West, then gets into a different kind of mystic with Jay Electronica, and finally ends, movingly but incongruously, with a spoken-word coda by the son of Larry Hoover, one of the imprisoned figures that West went to beseech then-president Trump about in 2018.

I'm unfollowing this stupid page. I'm a fan of both! But this is disrespectful. If you pushing Drake do it the right way not this bullshit

I just reported this tweet because this is pure lies.

It sux

I love the way only the clean version is made available. I could actually play the Album in the presence of children

What a shitty headline

I will wait for your review on Drake album, I will also read your reviews on his features since 2018 too before I take you serious.

Donda is different, it’s cohesive but not redundant, its got features from some of the best names in music both new & old. Kanye told stories w/substance without using expletives & without minimizing his voice to being your typical”rapper that f’s hoes does drugs & gets money”

just say ur racist and go

What?

Donda is fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One can’t simply obsess about Jesus, Variety.

overrated piece of religious crap

Variety really trying so hard to outrage or provoke to drive some clicks

No one reads reviews.

YOURE NOT RELEVENT. STOP LEACHING OFF OTHER PEOPLES SUCCESS TO TRY TO STAY RELEVANT

YOU DESERVE LESS

Obsessed? Just say you hate him and can't focus on his music well because of the hate.
