- "Use This Gospel" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King (2019). The song features guest appearances from hip hop duo Clipse and jazz saxophonist Kenny G. It was produced by West, Angel Lopez, DrtWrk, Frederico Vindver, and Timbaland, with co-production from BoogzDaBeast and Pi'erre Bourne. The song was recorded as a new version of the leaked track "Law of Attraction", which West came up with in a freestyle session. Clipse's feature on the song marked their reunion, after West requested for a collaboration. A gospel number with a maximalist style, it samples Two Door Cinema Club's "Costume Party" and includes a saxophone solo from Kenny G. Lyrically, the song features Clipse offering self-reflection from each member's different stages and West delivering traditional Christian prayer language. "Use This Gospel" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who mostly appreciated Clipse's presence. They often focused on the duo's reunion, while some critics commended Kenny G's performance. The song debuted at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making Kenny G the fifth artist to achieve a top 40 hit every decade since the 1980s. It reached number 23 on the Latvian Singles Chart and attained top 50 positions in five other countries, including Canada and Iceland. In the United States, the song has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). West, Clipse, Kenny G, and the Sunday Service Choir performed the song live in a meadow at The Forum in October 2019. In the album's accompanying film of the same name, Kanye briefly hums it as a lullaby to Psalm West. A remix of "Use This Gospel", featuring Eminem, was released on DJ Khaled's thirteenth studio album, God Did (2022). Dr. Dre produced the remix with the ICU. Replacing Clipse on the original track, Eminem raps about using faith to battle his personal demons. The remix garnered mostly positive reviews from critics, a number of whom praised Eminem's verse. It reached number 49 on the Hot 100, while topping both the US Christian Songs and Gospel Songs charts. (en)
