Silly jig musicians and Jesus

In which Bol Emeffin C makes the following controversial statement: Jesus won't actually save your ass from cancer. Sometimes religious folk catch cancer, pray like it's going out of style and still die horrible, horribly painful deaths. And sometimes, completely reasonable people catch the Big C, get the fuck over it and go back to whatever they were doing beforehand.

The reason why, of course, is that there is no such thing as Jesus. I mean, it's pretty hard for somebody to take care of you when he DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST. But don't tell that to the likes of Kanye West and R. Kelly. Thanks to those two and others like them (Pastor Ma$e, even fucking Cam'ron; pretty much everybody at this point), I can't turn on the local rap (but mostly shitty R&B) station without feeling like I'm in a jig church (which is, granted, better than being in a cracka church). It's gotten bad enough that I actually had to bring some CDs down to my car just to get back to my usual program of degrading women and promoting materialism, drug use and all manners of black on black crime. Now that's what I'm talking about!

All (OK, most) bullshit aside, I realize this is a (not really) free country and it's people's right to believe in all kinds of shit and even sing about it on the radio if they want to (as long as they're not an elected official, in which case it's pretty fucking wrong, but that's a whole nother story), but didn't R. Kelly cross some kind of line here with this "U Saved Me" bullshit about catching cancer in a grocery store and being magically healed by Jesus. Peep:

I was in the aisle of the grocery store
with a pain in my chest and I'm wondering
where did it come from (I got tested)
and the results came back
and the doctor said I'm sorry but u got cancer
I could not believe it so
I called my mama to calm my nerves

(mama) she got down on her knees
(mama) she said a prayer for me
(mama) just keep on thinking Jesus
(mama) he'll give you what you need
(thank you Jesus)
now that was five years ago
I don't have that pain no more
Doc said you can go home
cause all that cancer's gone

Now it's one thing for the dude to go peeing on 15 year old girls (so long as they're not white). I mean, we've seen the video (some of us more than once). The bitch obviously knew what she was doing. But making light of the gravely serious issue that is cancer (even though I pretty much just did it) is pretty fucking low even for a child molester, especially when you consider that it's all part of a highly calculated (and with an artist of his status it's always calculated) attempt to simultaneously save his image and line his pockets. I'd wish cancer on him, but I wouldn't want to run the risk of missing out on another song as FORKING AWESOME as the "Ignition" remix.

Kanye West on the other hand...
