Read Between The Lines: “Jesus Can’t Save You, Life Starts When The Church Ends”- Jay-Z


good girls gone bad, the city’s filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,
-Jay-Z

I don’t see it as a diss to Jesus at all. If you read the lines before that line, it seems as he is saying you can’t be a whore all week and go to Church on Sunday to save you. You can’t just be innocent in Church and be sinning all week after that. How do you interpret Jay-Z’s line that has caused a lot of controversy?

How Would A Year In Jail Affect Lil Wayne’s Career? (Why Are All These Celebs Going Down With Gun Charges?)

Lil Wayne is at or near the peak of his career with, “The Carter III,” selling over 3 million albums in a time where record sales have collapsed. With a possible year of freedom being taken away from him starting next year, will he be able to maintain his popularity and buzz? Tupac was able to drop a number 1 album in the country while locked up, can Lil Wayne be the second musician to achieve this feat?

With rappers T.I. & Prodigy already in jail for gun charges, Lil Wayne, Plaxico Burress & Lil Boosie(also drug charges) will soon face the same fate. Wayne, Burress & Prodigy were caught in NY which has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Why do you think these celebs feel the need to carry weapons illegally and don’t you think paid security guards is the safe solution for protection?

It’s crazy to think that 2 of Hip Hop’s most popular figures will both be in jail for the same offense. Leave your thoughts on the impact this will have on Lil Wayne’s career and frequent cases of black celebrities going to jail for gun charges below.

Check below for info about the NY gun laws.
