Reaction : Lil Nas X's new music video what we really think
let's get
0:11
straight to what's popping it's the
0:12
latest and greatest trending stuff
0:14
around the world yes let's talk about
0:16
Lil NX and how he's rattled a lot of
0:19
cages in the last couple days now we
0:21
spoke about this last week where he
0:22
announced on the 14th of January
0:24
dropping a new song he wants to do
0:25
gospel he's an independent artist now
0:27
and he's going to expose the industry
0:29
and he's turned to God God he's a piece
0:32
of [ __ ] it was a load of [ __ ] because he
0:34
is a piece of [ __ ] so I saw he did a um
0:36
you know when you did the pre like
0:38
pre-save the link yeah and You' go on to
0:41
you click the link I clicked and I
0:42
thought okay let's see who actually owns
0:44
that website page the link page and I
0:47
went and saw that Sony Music 2024 yeah
0:49
we all knew he was a troll so there's no
0:52
independency going on at all I thought
0:54
he was dropping the track with keser I
0:56
got so confused I think I know why you
0:58
said that there was one of the comments
1:00
on one of his videos that was a top
1:01
comment and he said something about
1:03
Kesha and I think and I think
1:05
subliminally yeah it it locked into your
1:06
head now that fake news Nishi yeah fake
1:09
news then 14th of January came he
1:11
dropped the song the song was called J
1:14
Christ oh this is so touchy this is
1:16
Despicable and disgusting let me explain
1:18
something to you you're just just to get
1:20
some context you're Christian right yeah
1:22
yeah I'm a Christian I'm Christian I do
1:23
a 10 church as much as I possibly can um
1:26
I respect all people from all walks of
1:28
life from all faiths from all seties I
1:30
will show respect to any human being on
1:32
this planet unlike NX the piece of dog
1:34
[ __ ] that it's as simple as that right
1:37
how like Ken annisha you guys know I've
1:40
got a lot of gay friends yeah and I
1:42
respect them utterly and I respect their
1:44
life choices and I love them dearly I
1:46
have family that's that's that's
1:47
homosexual as well 100% And I I I
1:50
respect them and they respect me back L
1:53
NX oh I don't think it has to do with
1:55
anything with him being gay I think it's
1:57
I think it's got to do with him
2:01
but it does but it does Ken I don't know
2:04
I think it's he's using no no no no no
2:07
he's using his sexuality in his video
2:10
clips depicting himself as Jesus Christ
2:13
that is a very very very big thing yeah
2:15
that is it is a very big thing and is a
2:17
very disrespectful thing I'm sorry you
2:19
demand respect you don't show respect
2:21
back that's [ __ ] up okay respect goes
2:24
two ways ultimately the people's
2:27
argument is this they go well a certain
2:30
faith and religious group has given our
2:33
community so much [ __ ] for years we're
2:35
going to do it back but the reality is
2:37
two wrongs do not make a right that
2:41
specific that specific religious group
2:43
also has homosexual people in it yeah
2:45
but ultimately the point is this is the
2:47
point right you can't fight a cause with
2:51
the same with a problem does that make
2:53
sense like you can't say okay in order
2:55
to solve a problem which is you know uh
3:00
neglecting a certain group of people or
3:02
making feel like a minority we're going
3:03
to do the exact same thing to like use
3:06
the exact same thing to those people
3:08
like it's like you're literally doing
3:09
the same thing whereas like you're
3:10
trying to make a mockery of something
3:13
and I don't think that's right so
3:16
obviously for a couple days he promoted
3:19
that he was turning to God he was
3:21
promoting that it's going to be gospel
3:24
music who I feel bad for the most are
3:27
those dedicated Christians in those
3:29
comments
3:30
that were so happy and excited for him
3:33
and showed him love as a gay man turning
3:36
to God to be shaton on the 14th of
3:39
January when he released
3:41
Blasphemous
3:43
music and Blas and and even worse video
3:46
I'm sure you guys have seen the video I
3:48
saw the video that's the thing like it's
3:49
so [ __ ] up man like like forget forget
3:52
sexuality and all that stuff that's
3:54
nothing to do with it what the problem
3:55
is is one depicting himself on the cross
3:59
that's so [ __ ] up you know you know
4:02
whether you are whether you are gay or
4:05
straight depicting yourself on the cross
4:07
you don't do that is that's the problem
4:09
that's what I'm saying it's not I don't
4:10
think it has anything to do with him
4:11
being gay I know he's doing a lot of the
4:13
he's he's really exploring and showing
4:15
showcasing that and that's fine no one
4:18
cares if you're gay no one cares about
4:20
your sexuality no one actually cares no
4:22
one actually cares but that's okay if
4:24
you want to portray it and push it and
4:26
push it and push it that's on you that's
4:27
totally fine yeah but comparing yourself
4:31
or not comparing yourself or putting
4:32
yourself in that same
4:34
light it's kind of a mockery it's it is
4:37
a mocker it's kind of like you're Mo
4:38
you're mocking a religion he is taking
4:40
the piss that is what is he is doing and
4:43
he know genius for controversy and he's
4:45
not the he's not the only like this is
4:47
not the only time the blood in the shoe
4:49
and the all the other things like it's
4:51
sad it's sad like this is what art has
4:53
come to and everyone in the comments is
4:54
like art is supposed to invoke feelings
4:57
and this is this is invoking feeling is
4:59
an art Foreman let him do his art and
5:01
it's like no there's there's a line
5:03
there's a distinction between art and
5:05
then just having to use his cheap
5:07
gimmicks to be able to be a successful
5:10
artist that's it's you know what like
5:13
the good old days when you had Prince
5:15
and you had you know uh Michael Jackson
5:17
and all of that like for the music and I
5:20
know that times have changed but using
5:22
gimmicks like this it's honestly it's
5:24
really sad and like I said before right
5:27
you can't just go hey this is what I
5:30
represent and these certain people have
5:31
made me feel bad about who I am so I'm
5:33
going to make them feel bad about who
5:34
they are no one's going to win in that
5:37
situation it just be a constant battle
5:39
be consistent War isn't it funny isn't
5:43
it funny how it's the Christians that
5:46
get mocked isn't that just hilar like
5:48
realistically speaking we look at
5:50
Christianity as a forgiving Faith right
5:53
as many faiths are but L nzac show me
5:56
your [ __ ] balls show me your true
6:00
bravery in what you believe in and do
6:04
the same [ __ ] video but mock Islam
6:08
realistically tell me what's going to
6:09
happen you think they're going to turn a
6:11
blind eye and forgive no brother you're
6:13
going to feel the wrath of God you are
6:15
going to feel the wrath of God I don't
6:16
know about the wrath of God but you'll
6:18
feel the wrath of people like I'm
6:19
telling you right now like yeah you guys
6:22
they like to Target the Christians they
6:24
enjoy targeting all of Hollywood does
6:25
it's always been around for a very very
6:27
long period of time but it's just funny
6:29
how Islam doesn't get mocked because
6:30
they don't take [ __ ] and they will never
6:32
take [ __ ] they won't accept it but like
6:35
but I don't condone violence like it's
6:37
about no no one said anything about VI
6:39
no no but what I'm saying is like that's
6:40
what happens it's like if you mock
6:43
someone especially like Islam if you
6:45
mock their their religion then like
6:47
people know what the repercussions are
6:49
and it's not we're not trying to say
6:50
like oh if you're Christian and people
6:52
mock your religion that you should
6:55
condone to like making sure he feels
6:57
wrath in a no do you know what would
6:59
happen
7:00
if that if if what he released his video
7:02
clip that he released was a complete
7:04
mockery of Christianity right
7:06
hypothetically speaking if that was a
7:08
complete mockery of Islam yeah you need
7:10
to realize that there are nations built
7:12
on Islam yeah there will be a war like
7:16
they don't take that [ __ ] they'll turn
7:17
to the West they won't blame Lil n's X
7:20
they'll turn to the west and go that's
7:22
how you see us that's how you want to
7:24
treat us and there will be World War III
7:26
no that's what I'm saying but that
7:27
that's what we're not condoning that's
7:29
that's what I'm saying it's not about
7:31
it's not about him being gay or him um
7:36
as a person himself no no no they will
7:38
look at it as an West it's the message
7:40
that is portrayed in the west they will
7:42
go oh that's how it is and that's what
7:44
Christians don't have right there's
7:46
something that's really interesting
7:47
that's happened lately I'm not sure if
7:48
anyone knows or if it's slipped under
7:50
the
7:50
radar but Pope Francis is the leader of
7:53
the Catholic Church you'd say he's the
7:55
leader right the pope yeah don't know
7:56
how much respect I have for the in
8:00
in December 23 so a month
8:03
ago uh they published that they are
8:07
permitting blessings of the same-sex
8:08
couples in the Catholic Church yeah then
8:12
this video comes
8:13
out which essentially is a spit in the
8:16
face it could be considered a spit in
8:18
the face but also a a uh from him
8:21
personally not from all gay people all
8:22
right but from Little nasx well now that
8:25
we've been accepted into as I say as as
8:28
as recognized and blessed to be a
8:30
same-sex
8:31
couple now I'm going to go hard and show
8:34
what the full extension of gay into the
8:39
religion looks like yeah and drops this
8:42
video you're wrong no I don't I don't
8:43
think that was the intention at all I
8:45
just think it was for him to get a
8:47
response by large groups of people by
8:49
doing something controversial I don't
8:51
think the two are related I don't know
8:53
me like look maybe maybe I'm taking this
8:54
a bit personal maybe I
8:56
am just I've just dealt with this [ __ ]
8:58
for a long time like I've said I've got
9:00
I've got many many gay friends and I'm
9:02
not just saying that you guys know them
9:04
personally yeah right but even this one
9:06
encounter that I had with a gay man that
9:08
you guys both know right who demanded
9:10
respect and no and showed absolutely no
9:12
[ __ ] respect back to me right about
9:15
your religion about my religion he
9:16
demanded respect for his sexuality which
9:19
I gave him every [ __ ] ounce of me was
9:22
respecting him as a person right and
9:24
respecting his sexuality but he could
9:26
not for a second respect my facei
9:30
it needs to go both ways it goes both
9:31
ways needs to go both that's what it is
9:33
everything goes both ways ultimately you
9:35
should be able to live the way you want
9:37
as long as you're not hurting someone
9:38
and you're not affecting someone and the
9:40
reality of life is that's not going to
9:42
be the case there's always going to be
9:43
groups of people in any faith in any
9:46
community that has some sort of
9:48
prejudice or and and then that's not
9:50
okay that should never be okay but
9:52
that's the reality that people are like
9:54
that but then you have a lot of people
9:55
who are not like that and you can't just
9:57
go and go for tit fortat because the
10:00
reality is if you go tit fortat in life
10:02
no one's ever going to win it's just
10:04
going to be more chaos and ultimately
10:06
everyone is going to be miserable but it
10:09
just sucks when someone like Lil nzx who
10:10
has a rich that he does and he's an
10:12
A-list celebrity right that's when it
10:14
becomes a problem what did you expect
10:16
the guy did a lap dance on the devil
10:17
guys like we knew this was coming we
10:19
knew this was coming and technically it
10:21
is Gospel it technically is Gospel it's
10:24
not gospel gospel because he's still
10:27
referring to to um
10:29
stories in the go in the in the Bible
10:31
he's calling himself J Christ he's
10:32
calling himself Jesus Christ that's not
10:33
gospel that's not gospel in any way
10:35
shape or form he even has a Bible uh
10:37
from the Corinthians
10:38
517 17 therefore if anyone is in Christ
10:42
he is he is a new creation the old has
10:45
passed away behold the new has come this
10:47
video clip is the first I think of seven
10:52
because right at the end of the film
10:53
clip it says Day Zero now I'm not sure
10:55
if you've seen the clip but it's
10:57
basically Jesus does the Jesus
10:59
crucifixion he dies goes to heaven comes
11:02
back whatever and then there's a Noah
11:04
scene a scene about him being Noah and
11:06
there's a great flood on Earth and then
11:07
he gets all the animals onto the boat
11:09
whatever and then that's where it
11:11
finishes and it says day Zero the new
11:14
beginning as if he's writing his
11:17
own uh uh gen is it not gen yeah no no
11:20
Genesis yeah his own Genesis or his own
11:22
new beginning and telling telling it
11:25
through his way and how he interprets
11:27
cuz let's just let's just say a second
11:29
let's hypo hypothetically think okay
11:32
little NX is truly going through a
11:35
Awakening in himself that is through
11:37
Catholicism let's just say that's what's
11:40
happening you're giving him the benefit
11:41
of the doubt and you're giving him the
11:43
benefit of the doubt I will do no such
11:44
thing but go that's fine he's now trying
11:47
to explain his spiritual journey this
11:50
way and and that's obviously different
11:53
from what the actual Bible says and what
11:56
we've all been tradition if you're
11:57
Catholic all of you that has all been
11:59
passed down in customs and traditions of
12:02
your entire life and from your parents
12:04
and
12:05
stuff this is why he can say it's art
12:07
because he's interpreting it and then
12:09
producing it out in a way that's right
12:12
to him yeah and that's and that's fine
12:14
but what's wrong about it is everyone
12:17
knows like the stuff that he's
12:19
projecting in the video like if if like
12:23
99% of people commenting or like okay
12:25
maybe 80% of people commenting who are
12:26
from the faith go what you're doing is
12:28
is wrong like that's that's not okay
12:30
there is a reason behind that that a lot
12:32
of other people haven't done or like
12:34
most people wouldn't do what he's done
12:35
he's upsetting a lot of people yeah and
12:37
that's what's wrong like you can have
12:38
your interpretation but when you know
12:40
it's going to affect someone like you
12:42
know treat your neighbor like that like
12:44
you know you want to treat yourself like
12:46
I he obviously little Nas X hasn't had
12:49
and I'm assuming hasn't had a lot of
12:51
people who have treated him with respect
12:52
and you know and and and and well and a
12:54
lot of people in his community feel that
12:55
way and that's that's not okay cuz they
12:57
should be treated with respect as well
12:59
but what I I guess it goes back to the
13:00
same point you can't you know [ __ ] on
13:04
other people because you've been [ __ ]
13:05
on it's not going to be of he probably
13:07
hasn't been [ __ ] on though I'm sorry
13:08
he probably [ __ ] hasn't you don't
13:09
know you don't know what you don't know
13:11
all I can see all I can see is what I
13:13
can see and it's not about I promise you
13:15
I can promise you one thing it's got
13:17
nothing to do with his past it's got
13:18
nothing to do with whether he's been
13:19
[ __ ] or not the guy has sold his
13:20
soul for a [ __ ] paycheck that's
13:22
what's going on that is what's going on
13:24
and it's been going on for a very long
13:25
time it's the the the the the the what
13:28
do you want to call it the those in
13:30
power shutting down Faith shutting down
13:32
religion and trying to take all power
13:34
away from that that's it's as simple as
13:36
that he's taken a paycheck he's sold his
13:38
soul and I'm hoping hell exists so he
13:40
can be in the deep dark trenches of it
13:43
one day who knows he's probably already
13:45
living in it it's a [ __ ] piece of
13:46
[ __ ] what are we if we have nothing to
13:48
believe in that's the biggest thing here
13:50
right I mean like it's so clear that
13:52
there's an agenda it's so clear like
13:55
come on but religions go with the time
13:58
yeah and of they the it adapts and it
14:01
changes you know look I think things
14:05
will continuously evolve and change and
14:07
that is okay but
14:09
ultimately like you have to ensure
14:13
that especially when it comes to Faith
14:15
and people's Faith you have to be
14:17
careful like be respectful TR be careful
14:19
just be respectful be respectful if you
14:21
want respect you got to give it back to
14:23
it's so weird in the clip in the first
14:25
sort of 15 seconds it shows people like
14:27
actors that look like Barack Obama Oprah
14:30
Winfrey Ed shiran and they're all
14:32
walking they're all walking into
14:35
heaven that was this strange to me like
14:38
why is he showcasing different public
14:41
figures walking into heaven and then
14:43
showcases this style of what he thinks
14:47
not what he thinks of what he's trying
14:48
like he's trying to say that this is his
14:51
version of gospel I don't know I just
14:54
there's just something there's just
14:55
something very irky about it yeah um and
14:59
it makes you feel and this is what art
15:00
does and again I'm not trying to say
15:02
it's art but at the end of the day it is
15:04
a music video it is music and that falls
15:07
under the brackets of art for our time
15:10
and day it's much like and again
15:12
different messages and
15:14
stuff but it makes you feel something
15:16
and if you you don't align with what
15:19
what if value it's going to make anyone
15:22
feel something that's the reality like
15:23
if it's shock value it's going to make a
15:26
lot of people mad happy angry whatever
15:28
might be but it's it's it's shock that's
15:30
what he's that's what he's betting his
15:32
whole career on it's shock value it's
15:34
cheap it's so [ __ ] cheap it's a
15:35
mockery it's 100% a mockery mockery you
15:38
know even even to the point where like
15:39
in one scene the cross is upside down
15:41
he's on the cross upside down now we all
15:42
know what upside down cross is satanic
15:46
like that's right if that's if that's
15:47
your cup of tea bro go drink from it
15:49
totally I actually don't care but once
15:51
you start mocking a
15:53
faith you're useless like you're nothing
15:55
special the production on the video is
15:57
crazy yeah
15:59
yeah I mean it's not the best I've seen
16:01
but it's it's crazy yeah well anyway I
16:03
think we know where we all stand on that
16:06
one not good little n what do you think
16:09
little NX is doing right now I don't
16:12
know probably just C just laugh just
16:15
probably just laughing questioning his
16:17
[ __ ] life to be honest probably feels
16:19
empty inside who knows he might not who
16:21
