I'm like the Atheist spokesman That why I come under fire and pressure attacks like Rex Grossman Yea this game is intense I been sayin it since agnostics people been playin the fence They keep sayin its the same in a sense That evolution requires faith, that the universe just came to exist First of all, microevolution been proven In the same way that sound waves let you listen to music And macroevolution is the system of change At or above the level of the species inflicted with change That's microevolution on a grand scale we can't even word because our life span's too short to observe "But carbon dating is flawed" "Its half life is 5730 years, and that supports our cause" Now that'd be great if we used it to date But since we don't then I'm a question that argument's weight We use potassium argon to date to date the globe Not carbon 12 or carbon 14 not none of those So before you attack Grey go get ya facts straight Because in the facts race, your God comes into last place
(Chorus)
Belief in Gods, we can fix that Irrational thoughts we get dispatched It may be hard be we'll get back In the position to just to end that
And so it goes on. Maybe that looks horrible, I like it tho. His flow's okay too. He's got this whole album, The Compton Effect, which is about militant atheism. And why not? Dawkins wants him for a poster boy. Not so sure that's a good idea. Anyway, historical curio or BDP for the War on Fundies?

If I made atheist hip hop (well obviously it would be shit because I can't rap) my nan would be so ashamed, no more Sunday roasts for me.

It gets wearing, partly cos his voice doesn't have enough variety for me and the production is a little too polite. And it's a bit like getting battered with a copy of The God Delusion. But it's a lot better than I imagined it would be when I read about it, and it's fun and righteous in lots of places.

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
For not showing me no signs they watching over me
Look, we the new breed in 2006
We don’t give a fuck about that religious bullshit
Nigga show me where the cash at
And nice whips with the 3 car garage to fit them shits
Man my life is painful, pray to angels
Or praying to myself hoping I don’t have to spank you
My bullets will shank you
And when my gun start cutting, ain’t nobody gonna save you
In the bible times, they ain’t have to deal with the shit
We dealing with, this survival times

I wasn't saying this dude is the first, just that it could've been a horrible wrong-headed gimmick and it's not. But I think it's a little different to some of that "Fuck God" rhetoric, which always kind of implies a Christian worldview to kick against.
― Hupi Bojangls, Thursday, 27 September 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)
'"fuck god" rhetoric' is saying a lot more than nerd-rapping about macroevolution & carbon dating
― and what, Thursday, 27 September 2007 18:06 (eighteen years ago)
Again, I wasn't dissing "Fuck God" which is an honourable tradition from the Blues onwards. Just saying it ain't quite the same thing as nerd-rapping about macroevolution.

I prefer when grand puba rhymes about how Santa Claus is bullshit.

narcissistic/martyr-complex atheism is a fucking dud, and there are a lot more interesting ways to rap about religion

narcissistic/martyr-complex atheism is a fucking dud
It just doesn't translate well from Dawkins books and internet message boards to the speakers.

i'll take the nihilist "fuck god" stuff over the spreading-the-knowledge bullshit. plus i'm just too old to sit still for some idiot trying to teach me something.

all the carbon dating talk on that verse kinda reminds me of canibus and all his super scientific mumbo jumbo
― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 28 September 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)
i think my favorite jay-z line is "never read the koran or islamic scriptures/only psalms i read was on the arms of n*ggaz/tattooed so i carry on like im non-religious/clap whoever stand btw shawn and figures"
