Does this make Kirk the Kanye of the gospel music industry? Whenever a person decides to step outside of the prescribed box, their choice is always accompanied by criticism and often sidelined with haters. He is not a conformist and basically writes his own rules. As a trailblazer in the rap game, Kanye is known to stray from the blueprint. Many of his decisions are controversial and questionable, yet his success is undeniable. All while working in the shadows, Kanye never gave up his dream to become one of the greatest rappers alive.ДЄs a businessman and musician, Yeezus has solidified his place in the industry. He went from being the man behind the curtain in the 1990s producing beats for other artists, to the spotlight with hits such as Jesus WalksВ and Through the Wire. However, Kanye is not as concerned about what others think as much as they wish he would be. Yes, he is outspoken and does exactly what he wants. While it is true that Kanye often behaves in a controversial manner, is there a method to his madness? Others feel he was always arrogant, but after his career began to soar so did his ego.

Some believe that the turn of the tide occurred when the rapper interrupted Taylor Swift during an acceptance speech. When Kanye hit the scene many celebrated his arrival and loved his lyrical abilities. Kanye is constantly getting slammed for his behavior and after his recent song collaboration Kirk, many are wondering if Kirk Franklin is the Kanye of the Gospel music. While many applaud both for being courageous enough to step outside of the box and follow their unique paths, others have not been so gracious in their critiques. As artists, they love to color outside of the lines and design their вЂњsoundвЂќ according to their own convictions.
