Jesus disses Prodigy back

In one of the more ridiculous moments in recent history, Prodigy of Mobb Deep "dissed" Jesus.

"Now homie if I go to hell and you make it to the pearly gates
Tell the boss man we got beef
And tell his only son Im’a see him when I see him
And when I see him, Im’a beat him like the movie
For leaving us out to dry in straight poverty
"

The guy threatens to beat up Jesus. Now personally, I find that stuff hilarious. But the fine folks at XXLMag are outraged.

Appearently, in gangsta rap, we're not allowed to offend anybody.

Excuse me?

Prodigy, last time I counted, has shot at least 8 million people. It's not like he was on the "boss man's" good side. How can you be mad that he says he'll beat up Jesus?

I can't believe we have a PC police in gangsta rap! What's next, you cant make fun of the president? What is this, country music?

If anything, this proves we're still behind the curve compared to heavy metal. Check out the lyrics to the new Slayer single if you don't believe me.

As per the new Slayer single:
First off, they're ripping off everybody - they're selling an EP with one song and 3 videos for 6 dolalrs. Not only that, but the'yre selling it exclusively at Hot Topic.

And then if you do spend the 6 dollars at Hot Topic you can feel like even more of an idiot since you can listen to the song in its entirety in the front page of their site.

And you know, speaking of the lyrics, now that they're all balding and stuff, you'd expect for them to get more mature lyrics than RELIGION'S A WHORE yadda yadda SIX SIX SIX.

However, it's got a real nice intro, alright verses, alright solos, pretty good vocals, but the real saving point is Dave Lombardo returning on drums. What an awesome drmmer.
