That is strawberry floating superb. 10/10 watched it twice.

Kanye West isn't a great lyricist to start with, but a lot of this just comes off like he's run out of juice. Between his tendency to rhyme words with themselves or simply repeating cringeworthy lines over and over in Wolves, there just doesn't seem to be much effort in writing this record at all. I Love Kanye ends with all the rhythm of a 4 year old, and 30 Hours is literally unfinished. It's all a bit of a mess.
Ultralight Beam is the only track that feels complete, in terms of writing, production and length. Chance the Rapper's verse in particular, is excellent, and puts everything else on the record to shame. It's an awesome track, and the whole album should have been to the same standard, but it isn't.
I thought I liked it in spite of all this, but maybe I agree with you and that's why I've hardly listened to it after the first week it was out. It's true Chance murdered him on his own gooseberry fool and I do get frustrated by the abrupt ending to I Love Kanye. I'll listen again.
