arriving tuesday from hypersleep sessions, vylter and broccoli spheres’ no kings makes fantastic use of JESUS IS KING’s low-effort compositions. gone are kanye’s odes to chick-fil-a and $220 yeezys, but here to stay are “closed on sunday”’s gentle acoustic guitar and “every hour”’s choirs, as well as “follow god” and “selah” in their entirety. however, no kings pitches everything down; while “every hour” now sounds truly heavenly, kanye on “follow god,” “selah,” and “use this gospel” sounds almost demonic. strangely enough, the altered no kings versions sound far more human and real than the original JESUS IS KING tracks. is no kings supposed to be showing how religious devotion cripples one’s self? or how there’s elegant beauty in mindlessly thrown-together messes? both? vylter and broccoli spheres are onto something: i can’t place what it is, but it’s certainly fascinating.

Making art is a form of madness — we slip deep within our own singular vision and become lost to it. There is no musician on Earth that is as committed to their own derangement as Kanye, and in this respect, at this point in time, he is our greatest artist.
