Ironically the whole reason Ye claimed there was a problem with it in the first place was that it allows forced labour in prisons, which many have argued is not that different from slavery. It's been pointed out that since the 13th was the amendment that abolished slavery, removing it would theoretically legalize slavery again. His repeated comments about the need to end the 13th Amendment to the US constitution (which he mentions in "On God") were scrutinized a lot, including by historians.
Audiences, however, have been much more receptive, many calling the album Kanye's best body of work since The Life of Pablo. Donda was also hit by a big heap of this, with many review publications being broadly mixed, and the individual critical consensus sliding somewhere between So Okay, It's Average to negative.ye got a tepid reaction by critics due to it seemingly lacking the ambitious and robust production and writing of previous projects, but is beloved by a majority of fans because of its lofi and personal nature.The album, however, was eventually Vindicated by History (among fans, at least - critics loved it from the beginning), and it's now widely seen as one of the best hip-hop albums of the decade. It received more critical acclaim than 808s & Heartbreak but the general public was divided on its industrial influences, with some unfavorably comparing it to Death Grips. It's also credited with setting the course for hip-hop during the late-00's and early-10's, with many rappers adopting a similar R&B/hip-hop mix and synth-heavy sound. Nonetheless, it gradually rose in esteem, to the point where it's now considered a fan favorite. 808s & Heartbreak was praised by many critics (even appearing on many "Best of 2008" lists) but garnered a mixed reception from fans, who took issue with the album's heavily processed/mechanical sound and Kanye's subpar singing.Critical Dissonance: He's ended up on both sides of the critic/audience disparity several times:.Others find that it suffers from being shallow, musically uninspired, and boasting a terrible mix. Jesus Is King appears to be dividing fans even more, with some calling it a more cohesive album than ye and Pablo.To others, it's a strength that accentuates the raw, intimate mood of Kanye exploring his mental health and showcases a rare and welcome moment of honesty from an artist known for being increasingly obtuse and divisive. Whether this is a good or bad thing depends entirely on who you ask - to some, it's a weakness that renders the album low on impact and feeling unfinished and unfocused. ye is pretty divisive, in large part because it places emphasis on its minimalist, introspective direction not seen since 808s.Fortunately, the record does appear to be on the verge of being Vindicated by History, thanks to the numerous improvements made to it following the original release. Reviews have ranged from saying it's his second best album next to MBDTF, to mid-tier, to his worst yet. The complaints don't seem to be about the quality of the songs but more so its bloated tracklist, apparent lack of construction compared to previous albums, and generally weak lyrics. Opinions of this are so varied that it's probably best to just not list them here. Particularly, his unapologetic support of Donald Trump has caused quite a stir among his fans.
