"Toen al het werk dat koning Salomo aan de tempel van de Heer had laten verrichten voltooid was, liet hij de wijgeschenken van zijn vader David naar de tempel overbrengen. Hij borg het goud en zilver en de andere voorwerpen in de schatkamer van de tempel van de Heer." – 1 Koningen 7:51"Kom binnen fam, het is lit" – Jezus Christus, tijdens zijn hemelvaartAan het begin van 2017 was er duisternis. Daarom daalde Kendrick Lamar neer op de wereld, zag dat het slecht was en besloot om een gloeiend hete track uit te brengen. Deze vuurbal werd bekend als HUMBLE. en diens vlammen waren zo glorieus dat het grootste deel van de Billboard Hot 100 in rook opging toen het binnenkwam op nummer 2 (alleen Ed Sheeran kon het vuur weerstaan). Het is het hoogst genoteerde chartdebuut voor een rapper sinds Not Afraid, het nummer vol zelfmedelijden van Eminem uit 2010. Kendrick heeft rap gered. Weet je wie ook dingen heeft gered?

Jezus.Wel, Kendrick vreest God en we gaan daar geen grappen over maken. In plaats daarvan kijken we naar de vele keren dat hij de naam van God noemde in zijn muziek, geïnspireerd door DAMN, zijn nieuwe album dat uitkomt op Goede Vrijdag. Ga zitten op de kerkbank en luister naar de woorden van pastoor Kendrick, met een paar begeleidende plaatjes die zijn heiligheid perfect illustreren.
