You should understand that when a Christian such as Kanye (or indeed Jesus) speaks of "Love", it is a very different concept than the secular interpretation. For one, everyone deserves it:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 5:43-45
"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" - Luke 5:31-32
Even the Old Testament (Jewish bible) has similar themes, though the connotation is decidedly more Old Testament:
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you. - Proverbs 25:21-22
Describing the definition of His love is in some ways a Christian's entire life goal^, but at the very least requires more time/space than is here.
^ A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. - John 13:34-35
