Wow, this is a tough choice. I should really abstain but I don't like to. A is a lot of fun, but as I've said before, instrumentals are a pretty tough match for subjective themes like this, and it doesn't evoke god, religion, or heaven for me in any way other than the title. I know y'all think I'm silly, but that's my rule and I'm sticking to it.
But I'm voting for it simply because B, though well-made, is Kanye talking about Jesus. Fits the theme better, but I really don't want to hear Kanye talking about Jesus as if they have anything in common.

There is no bottom to the depths of awful within Kanye and his "Talent", so vote A, because it's not specifically about god....

Both picks are really far from my interest. Reluctantly

Kanye is so egotistical that I'm surprised B isn't 'Kanye West Walks on Water' by Jesus Christ!
I thought A was terrific - really involving with a great groove. I don't know if I have it on one of my Afro-Funk comps, I hope I have! B was the most appalling guff. Nothing good about it at all.

Did you know that Ebo Taylor is an anagram of Real Booty? That's about the only thing I can say about this. Drags on interminably.
I would love to be able to say that everyone else is judging Kanye the ubiquitous media twat, and not judging the music on its qualities alone, and throw this a vote. But it's awful, it's trying to be all cinematic and widescreen, the children's chorus, the strings, the horrible vocal loops providing the bass and melody, it's all a mess.
Abstain.

Easy A.
While it might be wrong that K's public persona have made it very hard for me to appreciate anything he has released in the last 10 years or so, truth is that A is something i enjoy listening to much more.

A is a winner right out of the traps as they say in dog-track parlance. Good!
B is a wretched, plodding thing.

A Establishes a joyous groove, then sits in it smugly for six minutes. I like the liquid guitar that appears in one channel from time to time. It's not exactly the Tunguska Event, but it does have some quality about it.
B As far as I know, this is the first track I ever heard from West East African Country (anag, five letters). It might well be the last, Dog willing

Kanye's a dick, and his dickery is written all over that track. A is good. But it's a riff. Over and over again. At least Kanye's is a song, and if I had it on in the background and forgot who's singing it, I'd enjoy it enough.
I just can't vote for a riff, not unless it's breathtaking.
