The day after teasing its world premiere on Twitter, Kanye West dropped the music video for "Closed on Sunday," the fourth track from his latest gospel-rap album, Jesus Is King, on Thursday.
The song includes multiple references to famous fast food outlet Chick-fil-A, which is traditionally closed Sundays to observe founder Truett Cathy's Christian faith. The timing of the video release falls on Thanksgiving, a day that the chicken restaurant is also closed in observance of the holiday.
"Closed on Sunday" includes the lyrics "Closed on Sunday, you're my Chick-fil-A/ Hold the Selfies, put the 'Gram away/ Get your family, y'all hold hands and pray/ When you got daughters, always keep 'em safe."
He then opened up about the track, noting, "That's why I say the song 'Closed on Sunday' is the hardest record ever made — it's harder than an N.W.A. record, because it's talking about protecting your kids from the indoctrination of the media, the thousands and thousands of images that are fed to children by the age of 6 or 7, and within those images, there are images mixed in that we don't know about as parents that are purposely mixed in, to lower the kid's superpower and esteem so that they can be more susceptible to consumption and feel that they need to consume, and become a part of the numeric, robotic system that controls so much of the media."

LOL! Pop culture moves at a very high speed!
I don’t like to overthink stuff like this, but their ditching The Salvation Army was pretty lame.
Looks like CFA was taken over by the same indoctrination that Kanye is warning parents about - protect your kids.
CFA = Chick-FAIL-A
Actions have consequences.
The hood makes him look like a Sith lord.
This is about Kanye’s transformation, not Chik-Fil-A.
It’s still a powerful message.
The song was surely in the works long before last week’s CFA about face.
It looks like Jesus makes you richer than even sneakers.
(Sorry to not believe Kanye’s focus is 100% legit but maybe it is)
I am not sure about his intentions either. He is getting many younger people to at least look into religion. That can’t be all bad.
Look. I could be wrong about him. But being a Taylor Swift fan, and also seeing his manic and intoxicated grandiose behaviors on tv, I’m not sure if he is genuine or even sane.
A person can be genuine and not sane.
I’m putting off forming an opinion on Kanye West’s new groove. It’s really not for me to say, and 50+ white church ladies aren’t his target market.
It seemed odd at first but now I'm thinking it's not so far-fetched.
In these crazy days, nothing is far-fetched.
I agree. I hope we are both wrong.
I thought when the title said Kanye “drops new music video” I thought it meant he stopped it from being released due to Chik-Fil-A saying FU to all of it’s former Christian supporters. If he would have done that, then I would start thinking his whole Jesus thing is real. I’m still not convinced, especially now that Chik-Fil-A did a 180, and Kanye seems to be oblivious to current events like this.
He mustn’t of got the news. It’s Chick-fellate now.
I dunno, I see Kim Kardashian (his wife) as more likely but that's just me! LOL
