Is the Game's "Jesus Piece" Cover Art Too Offensive?

Game's fifth studio album, Jesus Piece, is one the most anticipated hip-hop albums of 2012 boasting features from Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and more. And when it comes to the album's freshly revealed cover art, the Game ... well, let's just say he doesn't shy away from controversy.
The Compton-bred rapper unveiled his Jesus Piece artwork via Instagram today and some of his fans think he went too far. The stained glass-inspired image shows Jesus sitting on a throne adorned with gang-inspired symbols. Not only does His Holiness sport Game's signature Jesus Piece bling around his neck, but he also dons a teardrop tattoo under his right eye and a red bandana over his mouth, references to the Compton Blood gang.
One fan called it "blasphemous" and said they wouldn't "listen to this anti Semitic bull crap." Another called it "really disrespectful!" Some lauded the controversial cover saying that it's what they expected from the rapper known for pulling at one's strings, and that he was "giving Kanye West a run for his money with the creativity, one of a kind cover." (Similarly, Game's last album, The R.E.D. Album fell under gang-related scrutiny. BET and MTV infamously pulled his "Red Nation" video from the air for being too gang-affiliated.)
"Jesus Piece gives me an opportunity to speak about situations that people like me who love God but are still street and still wanna remain themselves without going the Pastor Mase route." Game told VIBE about the album's title. "It gives the opportunity to know that it's somebody out there that feels them."
So that leaves us with this question for VIBE readers: Are you feelin' Game's Jesus Piece cover art, or do you think the rapper went too far?      VIBE  NEWS

Is Kendrick Lamar's 'Good Kid, M.A.A.d City' The Most Important Debut Since 'Illmatic'?

, New York legend proclaimed to the world that life’s a bitch.

Sounds sacrilegious? Stay with us. While the much talked about 25-year-old Compton, California MC will find it nearly impossible to live up to Nas’ glorious masterpiece (it’s hard to beat nostalgia), he is doing something else that is just as impressive. Dr. Dre’s newest co-sign is living up to the hype. Lamar, who lit up the underground rap scene with such noise-making mixtapes as Youngest Head Nigga in Charge (2003) and Overly Dedicated (2010) and his acclaimed indie release Section.80 (2011), is not at all running away from the buzz of him being the West Coast’s hip-hop savior.

In fact, Kendrick Lamar seems to be on everyone’s mind these days. Jay-Z lauds him. The aforementioned Nas has called him the future. Even Lady Gaga has sung the kid’s praises. “Everything he’s doing is done with integrity,” MTV personality and Sirius Satellite radio host Sway Calloway tells VIBE. The West Coast hip-hop authority believes Lamar has purity about him. “His music is done with passion and thought,” he adds. “Kendrick spent time and energy on these songs, man.”

Lil Wayne on His Comments About New York: "I Don’t Even Know the Reaction"

Lil Wayne may cause the hip-hop world to react off his in-the-moment comments, but it doesn't phase him. Really. In fact, Weezy isn't even aware of the commotion he caused by stating that "he hates New York." He hasn't heard Fabolous' "So NY" and could care less what anyone has to say about it. He recently told MTV News:
“I have to be honest with you, dog: All I do is work, and I swear to God, I don’t even know the reaction. If I knew the reaction I’d know how to be able to answer that question, but I don’t know the reaction. I just say what I want to say, do what I want to do and fuck who don’t like it.”
