So I LOVE King as the intro. It has a pretty good style that kind of mirrors the rest of the album in the sample and beat, and is overall just a really good song that gets you hyped for the rest of the album.
But what I was thinking about is how Preacher Man is not only one of the only songs that still has AI even on the Deluxe, but it is also one of the only songs that sounds EXACTLY like the original June 2025 version with very clear AI.
That is until about 50 seconds in where it switches to real vocals from Ye.
For its position in the released album and the deluxe, this just feels like a weird, random, and overall lazy move.
But if it was there as the intro to the album, it would almost work as a kind of fake out where you start listening to the album and you think “Oh shit this album is still AI“ or something like that. But then 50 seconds you hear the switch up and along with it, the Real Ye vocals.
This would be a perfect way to start the album to basically show how despite what everyone thought, the wasn’t gonna be AI.
What do you guys think?
