According to Dave Itskoff of Artsbeat Blog "Mr. West raps [while] surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade." Jesus elevated his status; perhaps he is interested in what the devil could provide. People who believe Jesus is their savior would not promote themselves being worshipped or surrounded by people wearing devil horns.
I am no Saint, nor am I judging Kanye. I have simply taken note of the changes I have seen in the industry. Many artist do not thank Jesus as they once did. Many artist are celebrating the dark side. Lady Gaga's latest video is also questionable. I thought there would be a Spanish lover in a field but there was more darkness and few Alejandro's. Pushing the envelope is one thing. Blasphemy is another.
What is the motive of artist today who are promoting behavior similar to that of the characters in True Blood when they were taken over by evil and forced to act out sexually and demonically?
