I read it before I heard it, because the reviews from the listening sessions all talked about it. I wasn't really shocked about what he said. This was 2006 and many rappers had said something blasphemous prior to this. Line was lightweight. I wasn't shocked when I heard the song after it leaked either. Then the album dropped, and that was one of the weaker songs IMO.

I won't say I was surprised at the reaction but I was so far beyond that kind of shyt at that point...I had to go back and listen to the record again to see why everybody was mad.

That's how he felt...I wonder what felt worse, religious zealots having to hear blasphemy or sickle cell attacks bestowed to him by "God".

:lupe:

That being said..feeling XYZ and blurting it out doesn't mean it's permanent or can't be transformed into something that makes more sense to who you are whenever you revisit those thoughts, really dope song and underrated album while we on the subject. Caught a lot of hate just because it was associated with G-Unit.

Just thought he was trying to get some shock value cause they just signed with g unit. I was actually more surprised when I heard 50 speak out against it in various interviews

He talks about pearly gates on this track. 1:40 mark



When I wrote 'Pearly Gates', they said I hated God
So I wrote this song the creator, the all



That track is fire. On my copy there's like an AOL instant message notification sound at the end. shyt annoys the shyt outta me
