Kanye West retires

Rap legend Kanye West said he will only make gospel music going forward -- no more secular music, according to a Chicago music promoter who was in the room.

West reportedly made the comment Saturday at a listening party in Chicago for his new album "Jesus is King: A Kanye West Experience."

"Kanye also announced that he is no longer making secular music," said Andrew Barber, owner of music media company Fake Shore Drive. "Only Gospel from here on out."

West said he is "done being an entertainer," Barber told FOX Business.

He's done. That prayer will be answered.

Enjoy, Kim. He may be sincere and not influenced by his bipolar issues. For your sake, I hope so.

they and their kind ARE the problem.

Wealthy beyond reason and contributing what exactly to society?
Famous beyond reason and why, exactly? for being on TV? O.J. residual fame?

People in this country know all of these idiots, and they know their intimate life details and childrens' names and obsess over their lives....why? These same people that know the difference between a Jenner and a Kardashian and a Khloe or a Kaitlin have no fucking clue why the climate is changing, the oceans are dying, the birds are disappearing and the insect population is in terminal decline...

They know why Kayne West says he is something other than an incredibly lucky talentless hack, but they have no idea why the job market is crumbling, automation is threatening to bring about permanent unemployment for most of them and that the economy is steaming towards a hard and very difficult correction imminently.

We are not going to have a recession next, it is going to be a depression and it is going to be long, destructive and lead to the deaths of millions of people....but hey, Kayne can write some gripping hymns to tha lawrd in the aftermath...

But, hey, he's starting his own church, so that might be an endless source of money from the likely dipshits that join it.

As he never 'sings,' "Bohemian Rhapsody," again.

I doubt this will last. I'm not being flippant. That guy has issues that he needs help with.
