At the 47th Grammy Awards, "Jesus Walks" was awarded the Grammy Accolade for All-time Rap Song, and received a nomination for Song of the Year. Various publications placed the song on several twelvemonth and decade-stop lists, and take since listed it among the greatest of all fourth dimension. The song was named the sixth-best song of 2004 on Village Vocalization's Pazz & Jop critics poll.[1] Pitchfork listed it at No. 123 on its list of the 200 Best Songs of the 2000s,[2] while NME placed it at No. 69 on its listing of the "150 Best Tracks of the Past fifteen Years" in October 2014.[3] Rolling Stone named the song No. 19 on their listing of the 100 Best Songs of the 2000s, and later placed information technology at No. 273 on its 2010 list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Background [edit]

The song is essentially a spiritual exultation, wherein W discusses how Jesus "walks" with all way of people, from the sinner to the saint. Towards this end, the first conceptual poesy of the song is told through the eyes of a drug dealer contemplating his human relationship with God. It reportedly took over half dozen months for West to draw inspiration for the second verse.[iv] [5] Due west also uses the song to express his critical views on how the media seem to shy abroad from songs that address matters of faith, while embracing songs discussing violence, sex, and illegal drugs. He rhymes, "So hither go my single, canis familiaris, radio needs this/They say you lot tin 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?" This is straight taken from West's experiences when he was struggling to get signed onto a record label; many executives turned him downwards afterwards he played a demo of the song for them.[half-dozen] They reasoned that he did non conform to the stereotypes associated with mainstream hip-hop and therefore was not easily marketable. Many of his friends in the music industry also warned him that while the song was outstanding, it would never get in to radio.[7]

Composition [edit]

"Jesus Walks" is a mid-tempo hip-hop song. Information technology is prepare in common time with a moderate tempo of 87 beats per minute and equanimous in the key of E-apartment minor. The song expresses a pulsating rhythm reminiscent to that of a marching ring. The rhythm is accompanied by background vocal samples from the ARC Choir's organization of the traditional gospel song "Walk With Me" that emit a chant in cadency to the crush.[8] Considering of these elements, the composition has been widely described as evoking a militaristic atmosphere.[9] The vocal begins with a medium tempo followed by its backing vocals and choral arrangement. Later on West's brief opening dialog, a drumroll sounds and the track'southward titular hook is belted by the ARC (Addicts Rehabilitation Middle) choir and coupled with the chorus. Meanwhile, the vocal's tune is laced with auto-melody-processed gospel wails.[x] Over time the vocal amasses itself, exhibiting multi-tracked violin flourishes and momentary vocal solos, gradually growing in intensity earlier peaking and immediately dissipating.[11] The vocal repeats this process several times until information technology fades away completely at its conclusion.[12]

The militant soundscape of "Jesus Walks" is complemented past its lyrical nuances. In the intro, the voice of a drill sergeant initiates the song with an "Club Arms" and is answered by a squad of soldiers who shout "1-2-iii-four!" This exchange is followed by W's opening lines, where he declares, "we are at state of war with ourselves."[9] West retains a considerable amount of dynamics in his rap delivery, every bit his menstruation features constant shifts in cadency, pitch, and volume over the simplistic rhythm. During the chorus, his voice builds in intensity in conjunction with the similarly swelling track, and peaks and fades away only before it follows suit. He also employs various rhyme schemes and phrasal techniques, at 1 bespeak even using a call-and-response pattern.[12]

Critical reception [edit]

The single received universal acclaim from critics for its open embracement of religion in the face of the oft-secular music industry, with many expressing their astonishment that such an overtly religious song was embraced by radio. In a review of The College Dropout, Village Voice characterized the song as a "desperate masterpiece."[13] Stylus Magazine music reviewer Josh Honey cited "Jesus Walks" as the best song on the entire anthology, saying "Kanye makes his spiritual toil sound similar triumph thanks to martial drums and a little gospel choir fervor, sounding a clarion call of conservancy to all would-be doubters and haters. He swears that he's not trying to 'convert atheists into believers,' only listening to The College Dropout might just convince you that Kanye Westward is the Second Urban center's Second Coming."[fourteen] The Los Angeles Times similarly considered "Jesus Walks" to be the highlight of the anthology, stating, "Its pulsating drums serve equally the perfect bankroll for West's reflections on his own mistakes as well as hip-hop'south tendency to focus on negative discipline matter."[fifteen] PopMatters, which hailed "Jesus Walks" as the yr'south all-time single, listed the song as i of the main tracks which exemplified the thoughtfulness and scholastic complexity inherent of The College Dropout as a whole, commenting that, "On 'Jesus Walks' Kanye proclaims his devotion to Jesus equally seriously as the most devotional hymn singer would, while illustrating the way he falls in and out of what he perceives as the good path to follow. 'I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long,' he confesses, but then he goes ahead and asks us all to join him in that conversation, to push button the vocal onto radio and push the divine into the eye of public dialogue. Extra dimensions are added to the song by the intense, cinematic presence information technology has, with all of the drama of a gangster film'south climactic scenes, and by a Curtis Mayfield driblet that makes the vocal ripe for a study of intertextuality."[sixteen] [17]

Alongside its subject matter, the production quality of the runway received equal acclamation, with Garry Mulholland of The Observer chronicling it as "[a] towering inferno of martial beats, fathoms-deep chain gang backing chants, a defiant children's choir, gospel wails, and sizzling orchestral breaks."[10] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times, who classified "Jesus Walks" as a gospel song, concurred with this sentiment, describing the song's choral system as "clever".[18] Blender likened the beat of the song to a "phantom marching ground forces", and Entertainment Weekly testified that the "lush, intricate" product of the rail gave off an "uplifting" presence.[19] [20] Time magazine critic Josh Tyrangiel declared "Jesus Walks" every bit "1 of those miraculous songs that you hear for the get-go time and immediately look forrard to hearing on a semiregular ground for the next 30 or xl years."[21] Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker asserted that the song, "sounds simultaneously like V-Mean solar day and like a funeral" and concluded his review stating, "In a different year, 'Jesus Walks' might register as an eccentric's conflation of faith, commerce, and war. In 2004, information technology's a popular state of consciousness."[9]

I will say that I'1000 spiritual. I take accepted Jesus as my Savior. And I volition say that I fall short every twenty-four hour period."[thirty] Kanye later claimed that when his male parent heard the vocal, he said, "Perchance you missed your calling." To which Due west replied, "No, maybe this is my calling. I reach more people than whatsoever ane pastor can."[31] In retrospect, West maintained that while he was surprised past the accolades the song received, he had long predicted the radio success of "Jesus Walks". For him, information technology was all simply a thing of attaining airplay, saying, "It was never a problem in one case it came out. All I did was use reverse psychology. It was a way of calling out people who didn't want to play it without pointing fingers at everyone."[6]

He's and then blinded by his hate that he doesn't [consider that his robe will burn down]. But God forgives him and causes it to pelting, therefore extinguishing [the fire], and that's a sort of baptism; washing abroad his sins. I uncertainty anyone's anyone got all that, but it's squeamish to at to the lowest degree brand an attempt to build in some layers. I know a lot of it is going to be lost in the translation of just beingness a music video, but the song is so deep and powerful it necessitates going the extra pace with the visual metaphors."

—Chris Milk on the video's metaphoric imagery[52] [53]
