Week 27: Kanye West - I Am A God

Kanye is back. And he's not shy about letting us know how he feels about himself.

The comparison to God, Jesus and the like have always been there, but never this (omni)present. Some say Kanye's latest album Yeezus is too much - too raw, too horrific, too misogynistic. But I, for one, am happy that he's continued to move forward. As much as I love the early albums, I don't want to hear him to continue to pump out different renditions of 'Jesus Walks' and 'Gold Digger'. I want to hear change - good or bad. And Kanye keeps giving us that. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was an absolute smash. By putting out a concept album that abusive, Kanye continued to push himself and 'the game'. Now he's stepped up again and taken us further down his rabbit hole. I, for one, will continue to follow - regardless of how ridiculous some of it sounds.

Ladies and gentlemen, here he is. He may not be the most high, but he's a close high.
