Kanye West Biography
If I Talk About God, My Records Won't Get Played, Huh?
"I'm trying to break radio, not make radio," West was fond of saying in the press, and "Jesus Walks" was the hammer. Following his self-conscious smash "All Falls Down," an unlikely hit single about consumerism in the black community, West released "Jesus Walks" as his third single and went on to shoot three controversial videos to the provocative track. The rest, as they say, is history; the months that followed were a whirlwind of live performances, awards ceremonies and press junkets. The College Dropout was awarded the Grammy for Best Rap Album of the year and "Jesus Walks" the Grammy for Best Rap Song. Dropout was named Album of the Year by The New York Times, Time Magazine, Blender, Rolling Stone, GQ, Spin, The Source, XXL and nearly every other major national publication.
