Daveydave Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I recently saw the magazine cover of Kanye presenting a Jesus like image. People have accepted him talking about Jesus and religion in his raps. Would the world accept Ms. Holy Roller as a single? Not what he's known for, but the lyrics are pretty tight in it.

Admin Hero1 Posted January 27, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 yes i think it would go down well..would never get released tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) please don't compare will to that egotistical fool kanye, a lot of people are upset that kanye would talk about watching porn but yet he dresses up on a magazine like he's god? will doesn't act like that, "ms. holy roller" is much better than anything kanye could come up with...

mfuqua23 Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 It's funny you bring this up. I was watchin' 'Quite Frankly' on ESPN2, you know that show hosted by Steven A Smith. And this political guy and Roy Jones brought up the point of God not being discussed and how powerful Hip Hop would be if more people truly spoke out and it was exposed. "Ms. Holy Roller" would be an interesting way to go. I really really love that track too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to compare Kanye to Will by any means. I'm just wondering if the door is now open in hip hop for songs like Ms. Holy Roller to be released as singles and get a lot of airplay.

bigted Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) not really, those conscious songs are only huge hits once or twice a decade, most hit songs these days have no content whatsoever and kanye wouldn't be that big if it wasn't for producing jay-z, there's a reason why he blew up, there's a lot of gospel rappers who make a lot of conscious songs but they got no big name connections so they don't get accepted by the mainstream... will doesn't get that much love in the industry so it'll be much harder for him to release "ms. holy roller" and be a hit, look how there was no support for "party starter" so imagine the type of blackballing "ms. holy roller" would get if released from will? now if a big name in the industry like jay-z released it it'd be huge though...

Da Brakes Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'm not sure how it would stand up as a single compared to other releases from the album. Although when I first got the album this was one of my most listened to tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezone Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 it's not the most radio friendly track on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawad_m Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Agree with Bigted, if it was actually what listeners wanted, it would definately do well, but radio dj's (or should I say execs) don't have a chance of giving it a run Edited January 29, 2006 by rawad_m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I dont like the song. The lyrics are great but the beat hurts..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yeah "Ms. Holy Roller" is probably the least radio friendly track on the album, I can't see it getting airplay...Honestly "Parter Starter" is one of the most radio friendly songs on the album and how well did that do? The radio doesn't wanna give Will a chance to begin with so they wouldn't give his serious songs a chance either, Will might have to buy his own radio station, lol...

I think 'Could You Love Me' is less radio friendly. :thumbdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
