So Disrespectful! Meek Mill Mocks the Church
There must be some type of ritual and sacrifice of your soul when you get money. It seems like every young black emcee tends to forget where the hell they come from. The glorifying of money and hoes seem to be their form of sacrificing spirituality and morality at the altar of the evil one. It is very disturbing how they do this with ease. The more blasphemous you are, the more money you seem to make. Oh well, I guess I’ll just stay a broke emcee that love the Lord and my people. Meek Mills as a rapper is very talented and he ought to know better than this. Wake up young ones! Click below to watch, to read more, click here:
I heard this song weeks ago on Hot 103 Jamz. It made me laugh. This is not the first time the church has been made out of a secular metaphor in hip hop music. Eightball and MJG had a song on their album “Living Lengends” that was called “Cadillac Pimpin.” In the video, Eightball takes his mother to church and when he gets there, Bishop Magic Don Juan is at the preacher’s podium delivering a mock sermon about pimping and sex. As R&B singer Shannon Jones sings the hook, women are in the church shaking their bottoms to the infectious beat of the song. I won’t ever go as far as singling Meek Mill out, because he is obviously not the first rap artist to do this. I could go on and on about other examples as well. In the attached SOHH.COM article, a source is quoted saying that Meek would never make a mockery of Islam while making a rap song. I beg to differ with that. Artists have not made a mockery of Islam but in my observation, they have equated its seriousness and millitantcy with the same vigilance present in the tough and resistant street culture. I myself am not a Christian, but I have been exposed to the environment of the church. The secular metaphoric usage of the church in hip hop is very convenient because of the church’s failure to clean up its own mess. When they stop becoming sexual playgrounds full of women who were in the club fornicating the night before, led by pimp-like, womanizing pastors driving Cadillacs, none of rap’s secularization of the church will stop.
