The Institute

I had to laugh when Lil' Wayne said that last night. It is always interesting when some of the raunchiest celebrities turn around and thank God or acknowledge God. I know we all fall short, but it irks me to no end when folks who are blatantly livin against His will and then PROFITTING from it turn around and thank Him.

I watched the whole awards show last night - I'm a sucker for awards shows. That was the most BET I have watched in about 5 years, and sadly not much as really changed.

Forget Black Exploitation Television and Lil' Brain, there's a hot show this Friday in the STL for the real heads:

June 27th
Json Album Release Party/Conference
Friendly Temple M.B.C.
5544 Martin Luther King
St. Louis MO 63136
Featuring- Json, Flame, Thi'sl, Mike Real,
Titus, Future & Dawndia from Cho'zyn

I think what he's rapping about is one of God's greatest gifts to men.

The nerve to sing about completely immoral things and live completely immoral lives, and then thank God for their success. Who do these rappers think they are--country and western singers?

Yeesh. :^)

Anthony,

You asked: "[W]hat does "Lollipop" have to do with God, bro?"

Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. - Song of Solomon 2:3

Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread abroad. Let my lover come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. - Song of Solomon 4:16

Methinks the problem is not so much the lyrics, but rather the fact that Lil Wayne ain't singing this to his wife.

You know, even if he were singing about his wife, I think there's a wee little difference between the genre used and the Song of Songs....there is a not very subtle line between speaking figuratively about the marriage bed and repeating an explicit description of what might go on there dozens of time in a rap song. One is romantic, the other is lewd.

Regarding the specific examples, if the "garden" is the private region of the beloved, we would have to assume that this young lady was "uncovering her nakedness" for the world to see (how else would the wind hit that garden?), and moreover that the apples of a tree grow (ahem) off the trunk and not the branches.

Methinks that you're trying to read a little more into that passage than is actually there, disputatio.

FWIW, his new album is fantastic.

Disputatio needs to read his Bible. Or at least learn how to read it.
Sorry bro... Way off. as far as using scripture.

Maybe you are right, in general, I aint opposed to my wife saying it to me either, but there is no scripture behind it.

Plus its all about intent. SO tiny wang or Lil Wang as they call him has a sinful intent, an evil promotion and an evil affirmation in his intent behind this song. Thats the point! An analogy would be like an abortion doctor thanking God for his most successful year ever.

Now, If Lil Wang has no clue what he is singing about is wrong then maybe he cant be held responsible for being a crass ass.

Given that a lollipop is destroyed in its ordinary use, is Lil' Wayne hoping for castration?

i like de way he sing his sung.hes ma fevarity rapper.
