This video is disturbing on so many levels, and yet funny at the same time. Interesting how they “Christianize” an offensive sexist rap song and turn it into an offensive Christian sexist rap song:

Here are some notable lines:
- When a girl walks in with a KJV and a bookmark in Proverbs, you get stoked. Gotta name engraved, so you know this girl is saved.
- Ooh, mamma mia, you say you want koinonia? Well, bless me, bless me, and teach me about John Wesley.
- I ain’t talkin’ bout a paraphrase, cuz Paul wouldn’t use those anyways.
- So, I’m sittin’ here thinkin, “What if… I find me a girl that shows midriff?” You can have those bimbos, I keep those chicks that do devos.
- A word to the Christian sistahs, I can’t resist ya. I do God’s time wit’ ya. But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna pray till the break of day.
- Baby got it goin’ on, like the wife in Proverbs 31. We just might get engaged, when we finish readin’ this page. Cuz it’s worn, it’s torn, and I know that girl’s reborn.
- So, Ladies [Yeah?], ladies [yeah?], do you wanna save people from Hades? [yeah!] Then read it, till the pages fall out, even white preachers gotta shout.
- 39 + 27 = 66 books. And if you’re Catholic, there’s even more.
And a whipping motion at the end? What is that supposed to symbolize? I admit that this video makes me laugh and that’s primarily why I’m posting it. But the more I ponder it, the more I think this version is more offensive than the real version. Why? Because this version promotes the oppression of women under the religious auspices of an authoritative sacred text. Perhaps we can dismiss Sir Mix-a-lot, but the implication in this version (by “whiteboyDJ”) is that a woman is supposed to be pious and submissive because that’s what God has ordained and that’s what a holy Christian man wants.
Oh well, I guess I’m just a “weenie who gets the Bible on CD.”
