'(Kanye West)likened "Jesus Walks" not to church teaching but to his secular songs, which celebrate the high life without moralizing. "I don't tell anyone they have to do this or that. I never said, 'You better have your Louis Vuittons on or something's going happen to you.' I just said, 'This is what I want.' Same with Jesus."'

'Mr. Richardson, 19, who lives in the South Bronx, called himself a "walking testimony," and wore a T-shirt celebrating 50 Cent, a secular rapper who rhymes about dealing drugs and killing people.
Because of the shirt, Mr. Richardson said, "You might see me and have a bad perception." But he added: "I don't take nothing from 50 Cent because he's not talking about anything godly. I pray for him."'

Points to Kanye for comparing Louis Vitton and Jesus Christ.
Points to the NYT for describing 50 as "a secular rapper who rhymes about dealing drugs and killing people."

"I don't take nothing from 50 Cent because he's not talking about anything godly."

Fiddy's not talking about anything, full stop.

Ah fiddlesticks!!!! With a headline like "Rappers are Raising their Churches Roofs", I was expecting some interesting article about the diversification of rap into architecture!!!!! Compared to that, even the Cliff Richard of rap pales into insignificance!!!!!!!

Bah!!!!!!
