Kanye West is a very divisive figure both within the music world and within the eyes of the public. His music throughout the years has gained him acclaim and ridicule, but not as much as his own actions. Starting all the way back with the infamous stage rushing of Taylor Swift and moving through 2018 with his controversial statements and actions coming hot and fast, Kanye landed himself on the unfavorable side of both the public and his own fans. 

He’s hoping to change all of that soon with a return to his musical roots in his upcoming album/IMAX movie combo, "Jesus is King." The gospel music album will follow in the steps Kanye has already taken in establishing his newfound faith with his “Sunday Service”-style concerts. Let’s take a look back through the career of a divisive artist with a history of religious music that is sometimes blasphemous, such as “I Am A God,” and sometimes truly spiritual, such as "Ultralight Beam,” until the impending release date finally hits — if it ever truly will.
