Lil Nas X‘s “J Christ” single was already predestined to piss off Christians — however the newly launched observe has a brand new enemy to take care of … Kendrick Lamar followers.
The rapper dropped his newest providing Friday, and proper off the bat … hip hop heads heard a hanging similarity between ‘J Christ’ and Ok.dot’s 2017 smash hit “Humble.” Cannot blame ’em for evaluating the 2 tracks — truth is, they do certainly sound very related beat-wise.
“J Christ” is produced by Lil Nas X alongside revered hitmakers, Gesaffelstein and Omer Fedi … however the energetic bassline and piano melody really feel like a carbon copy of Kendrick’s Grammy-winning observe, which was produced by Mike Will Made-It and Pluss.
As you may think about, an excellent handful of Twitter/X customers let LNX have it on social media for seemingly being unoriginal … to not point out persevering with to make use of his faith for clickbait.
The credit score and blame right here kinda all goes to LNX — he wrote and directed the visuals, and packed on the non secular imagery … additionally, the infamous Satan Nikes make a return within the video, and the rapper alternates conducting cheerleading routines in each Heaven and Hell.
So, on high of the Kendrick factor … some really feel like he is simply again to fanning the flames usually talking. In fact, there are various who’re feeling the track … diff’rnt strokes!
Another factor … the celeb impersonators employed for the video stayed in character to hit the observe’s launch celebration — Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran — and an unflattering Ice Spice hit the pink carpet to have a good time … and imitate.
