Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!

{{on repeat viewings, i believe i can actually hear a fair amount of laughter from the audience, which gives great credence to the parody theory.}}

I had an opportunity to hear it on a crappier sound system over the weekend, which paradoxically meant I had to turn up the volume and listen more closely–and yep, I definitely heard the same thing: amused laughing, not mocking laughing. Strong credence to the parody theory (aside from the whole ‘I contacted them and they confirmed that it was a parody’ report, I mean. {g})

Also, now that I’ve heard the Angelina Jolie remark better, I think the point/joke is supposed to be that the rappers so totally reject sex that they’ve decided to adopt a huge number of kids instead. (Though as one or two earlier commenters pointed out, this still works as a parody of rap-bling boasting, too.)

JTraveller76 – That was amazing – thanks. Vern, I know you love Jesus, but presumably some of this stuff makes your blood boil. The things these churches choose to promote via the Christ story are kind of mind-boggling. It’s almost like they are purposely trying to give them psychological problems in later life.

Since viewing this video I have shamelessly been giving all my female acquaintances full-frontal hugs.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

Check out this blog post. Read the comments afterward – it is worth it. Especially #57 and below. Ha ha ha.

I thought they were saying “Repub” – I guess affirming their support for the other party, despite Democratic gains.

Regarding the “buying babies line”, he’s just trying to show that he’s “coming up”, that he has the money/popularity/swagger to do whatever he wants. Since its inception, plenty of rap tracks do that-some as a divergence in the middle, and some dedicate the whole song to that type of crowing. I think it’s funny that that line gets the big audience response, probably cos it’s the only part that packs any punch.

Also, wouldn’t the kids be selling their love for Jesus out if they spoke about it in the same song that they were using to mock the side-hug rule? Doesn’t seem like they should be doing that. I think we should leave the door open for the potential that someone involved is embarrassed and backpedaling wildly, trying to pass the whole thing off as a joke. As Mattman pointed out, the third rapper (mc asthmatic) is taking it very seriously. Besides, white suburban Christian kids have no idea where to plug their beliefs in to the teenage world around them, they’re often completely confused and overwhelmed. The parody explanation would probably vary depending on who involved you asked.

Will someone please figure out definitively what they’re saying after “Democratic shift in the Congress?” “Re-vote” has been my best guess, but I would like to know for sure, if that’s possible.

Also kind of shocking, and in bad taste either way, is the “you ain’t no rabbi/you ain’t no priest/so rise up off me like (etc)” line, implying that priests are still cleared for front hugging. Maybe time to implement the high-five rule for that bunch, yeah? I’ll bet there are plenty of altar boys who would’ve settled for that sinful front hug when the sun went down.

on repeat viewings, i believe i can actually hear a fair amount of laughter from the audience, which gives great credence to the parody theory. so i am starting to believe tha this was indeed from some christian youth conference where the attendees were getting frustrated/amused by some of the more extreme rules imposed on them, and some of them took it upon themselves to create this parody performance, much to the delight of the crowd. i’m kind of bummed about it. however, i will say that the kids who made it are talented and have potential as future comedians. sigh.

but the post above me cheers me up a bit, when i learn that the christian side hug is in fact a real thing and some people apparently take it very seriously.
