Kirk Franklin Gone To The Dark Side Essay
Has Kirk Franklin Gone to the Dark Side or is Kanye Really God?
Kanye West says that his newest venture "Waves" is a "dream that can’t happen without God.” He told Real 92.3, "I’m only doing two percent of the work. God is doing the rest of the work.” He describes "Waves" as a "Gospel album, with a whole lot of cursing on it."
