I don't know call me crazy but this is like iceing on the cake . Let's review . Kenye makes one catchy song and he thinks he's Jesus Christ - literally considering his pic on the cover of Rolling Stone lol . Then he takes it a bit further and says he should be in the Bible . Then after the song flunks he rants away saying how good he is , how talented he is and how hard he works and that if he dosen't win the grammies someone is going to pay hahahahah . Then I stumbled across this song by Ray Charels and was like WTF ?
I listened to the odies a bit , probly no less then anyone here but I never heard of THIS particular song .
I don't know , just brings back memories of Vanilla Ice when he made " Ice Ice Baby " ripped from Queen . Remember him on MVT like 20 years ago saying " nah yo my beat is completely different . There's is ding ,ding ,ding ,ding ,ding ,ding and my beat goes ding ,ding ,ding ,ding ,da-da , ding ,ding - see it's different " . Friggin WEAK! lol
Kanye has a great interview in Playboy. He speaks regarding the Rolling Stone pic. He planned to have the Jesus pic on the RS cover and a satan pic on a VIBE or something but the second one didn't work out. You should read some of the backlash from that cover. Truly funny shit.
Kanye has put out 2 top selling grammy winning records in two attempts.
And Jesus Walks wasn't even fully written by him. He collaborated with another fella on it. And guess what? He even gave that guy half the royalties for the song and that guy is debuting his cd next month.
He is without a doubt a cocky guy (like every other rapper on the earth) but with his current earnings and apparent ability to make music everyone buys, I think he has the right to be cocky.
He doesn't rap about shooting people as most complain about hip hop/rap. You can't make everyone happy. Thats the truth.
Edit: The song flunked? Jesus Walks? How? Jarhead producers paid a cool million to have it in thier movie. Flunked indeed.
