Really? Because it comes off as a self indulgent attempt to make himself feel grounded during his mania induced delusions of grandeur rather than facing the fact that he's bipolar and needs to be treated for it. Everything on it is about how he's a vessel for god and how he thinks the backlash he gets is comparable to when people turned on Jesus.

1) almost all hip hop is self indulgent
2) obviously he’s nuts; most artists are
3) religion has an historic tradition of inspiring great music

Yeah, but I prefer what he was doing before much more than this. Oh well, different tastes I guess.

More like using the idea that he's a vessel of god in the most self serving way possible.

Alright, I like that.
Hence the line "I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven and when I awoke up I spent that on a necklace."
All makes sense now.

Thank God for my Catholic education.
I once had Gospel, now I have Kanye.
