HOUSTON, TX – A new song by two of Houston’s own cranks out the bass, all while beating down boundaries. The unlikely duo of gangster rapper Slim Thug, and preacher Joel Osteen is breaking the internet as much for their pairing, as for their musical message.

Slim, a member of Osteen’s Lakewood Church for many years, used clips of the pastor on “Chuuch”, a song on the rappers latest release “Hogg Life Volume 2″. And while mixing religion and rap might not be the norm, for many the sermon and the song are a perfect fit.

The message of the song is basically to live a good life, you have to keep good people around you. It’s a song full of solid advice, no matter what your beliefs. To that we say, Amen!

You’re not making religion any better, you’re only making rap even worse!

[4yearlurker]

“A joyful noise”....well,they got the noise part right.

[Poison Pill]

you’re only making rap even worse!

Impossible.

[2banana]

OK - what rhymes with Jesus

[jurroppi1]

mesus (I’m sure they’d just make something up and provide whatever meaning/context they want later).

OK - what rhymes with Jesus

AFAIK there is no one word that rhymes with Jesus. Any combination of a word that ends with the "ees" sound and "us" will rhyme, however. Some possibilities:

Jesus/frees us
Jesus/he's us (Buddhist rather than Christian doctrine, but we're talking rhymes here)
Jesus/knees us (e.g., "I choose to follow Jesus/'cause Satan always knees us")
Jesus/sees us
Jesus/she's us (transgender Buddhist rather than Christian doctrine, but again, this is a rhyme issue)
Jesus/threes us (e.g., "It's me and my Lord Jesus/and Mother Mary threes us")

I'm sure people can come up with others, but the work shift calls...

Prosperity pimp do whatever he pleases

Joel isn’t the only money-grubbing goat herder who raps. Don’t forget Ed Young.

What? Osteen never mentions Jesus! Don’t have to worry about that!

[freefdny]

“to live a good life you have to keep good people around you.”
I could be wrong but isn’t that exactly opposite of what Jesus did. That whole eating with sinners and tax collectors thing comes to mind.

[TexasRepublic]

Ha, ha! That is inspired!
