Song of the day

Today's song is Kanye West's "Jesus Walks".

"Jesus Walks" is a hip hop song by American rap artist Kanye West. It was released on May 25, 2004 as the third single from his debut album, The College Dropout. The song is built around a sample of "Walk with Me" as performed by the ARC Choir. "Jesus Walks" was well-received by music critics, who praised its compelling sonic atmosphere and boldness in its open embracement of faith. It was met by widespread commercial recognition, peaking at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming West's fourth consecutive top twenty hit in the United States.

Some people hate Kanye for his tendency to storm the stage at a music awards show when he feels that an artist (such as himself or Beyonce) has been hard done by. However I expect and look forward to his inappropriate and highly entertaining behaviour!

So here go my single, dog, radio needs this, they say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, that means guns, sex, lies, video tapes, but if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh?
