I always love when a blog post can be set to music, so I was very glad to be tipped off by a linking website (HT: Irenic Thoughts) to this video.
I was a little mystified by what these young people were doing until my research associate Sam (formerly team intern here at Mead GHQ, but now ensconced in a comfier chair and with an actual salary) told me that this so-called ‘rap music’ is quite popular with the younger set.
This video is a rap parody (of Jay-Z, says Sam), channeling the energy and sentiment of my post “The Holy Crap Must Go,” only this time in the direction of the Catholic Church of 500 years ago. The video was created by and features students and faculty from my alma mater, and you can read the lyrics and see where they exercised poetic license at their website.
Enjoy the MTV treatment of Martin Luther…
