Kanye West - "Jesus Walks"

[strong4PMB!]

How much Christian rap airplay is this inspirational piece of art receiving?  Surely it's receiving some, due to Kanye's name-dropping of CCM favorite, Kathie Lee.

"The way Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's the way I need Jesus!"

What do you think?  Is this a Christian rap smash?  Hopefully it can help "Jesus Walks" rise on the Hot 100.

"So here go my single, dawg, 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?!  Well, let this take away from my spins, which will probably take away from my ends, then I hope it take away from my sins, and bring the day that I'm dreamin' 'bout: Next time I'm in the club, everybody screamin' out...
JESUS WALKS!"

Inspirational lyrics.  Thumbs up, Kanye!  Kanye's performance of it with Yolanda Adams at the BET Awards was one of the few highlights of the night.

I'm not so sure they'd play this exchange, though:

"To the victims of welfare, we're living in h*** here/H*** yeah" (censoring because I'm in the Christian forum :))

Oh yeah, and there are a few N- and S-bombs also. But I'm sure you knew that.

There's as much of a chance of "Get Low" being played on Christian radio as this one.

FLOP! on this particular chart.
