Kanye West Gets Closer To The Skies In 'Airpool Karaoke' With James Corden

Kanye West joined James Corden for a special edition of Carpool Karaoke that took place on an airplane; obviously, it was called Airpool Karaoke. The rapper and producer brought the church to their flight, also delving into a discussion about his new album Jesus Is King and how years in marriage are much longer than typical human ones.


Add in a breathtaking choir and also you have the recipe for a truly unique Carpool Karaoke experience, not just because it's, you know, on a plane. The sacred vibes are out of this world.


It begins with Corden's plane, Flight 808 (this is the ideal possibility to slowly stare at the camera like Jim from The Office) to Los Angeles, being canceled. He calls Kanye to be able to see if he can catch a ride with him, to which Kanye happily obliges. Corden joins him on a crowded plane of unassuming people who don't seem to realize that a grinning Kanye is sitting directly in the midst of those. It's soon revealed that this sort of people is Kanye's Sunday Service choir, who accompany him in preaching the gospel through music and, led by choir leader Jason White, they sing a few gospel-themed selections and one of Kanye's biggest songs.


That particular tune is Jesus Christ Walks," and Kanye delivers it by means of the an exhilarating and emotional performance. He rocks in his chair back and forth and matches the choir's intense live chants, fueling him to louder and greater heights while in the show. Elsewhere, the choir performs rousing selections, with one of the big being a hallowed rendition of Ginuwine's "So Anxious." It transmutes the soulful energy of Ginuwine's R&B classic into something holy, powerful, and awesome — so much so that Kanye couldn't stop grinning while in the rendition.


Between these holy performances, Kanye had a good discussion about Jesus Is King, beginning with the Sunday Service events that preceded the album's rollout. "It's something that I felt like I required to do that God put on my heart and right now he keeps taking me to new levels and taking us to new levels that we didn't imagine before," he mentioned, referring to the accompanying choir.


Kanye also spoke a little about marriage, saying that God is using him to "show off" how cool it is. He also says that years in marriage are a lot longer than typical ones and makes a cool note to Corden: He wants seven kids. "The richest thing you could have is as several kids as possible," he says.
