There's no persecution complex quite like a hip-hop persecution complex. It can power the sharpest verses and the WORSTEST artwork. And by worstest, I of course mean the best shit ever! Witness "The BX Savior" and alleged attempted murderer Remy Ma's soon-to-be-released mixtape/DVD, Shesus Khrist. Designed by mixtape artist-to-the-stars Miami Kaos, it owes an obvious debt to Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur's martyrdom masterpiece The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. But where Makaveli's modest and mournfully rendered cover includes the disclaimer that "in no way is this portrait an expression of disrespect for Jesus Christ," Ms. Ma's Caravaggio-esque Calvary suggests she's as comfortable working the pole as she is a crucifix. And work it she does. The amber airbrushed illumination of thick thighs, tight two-tone weave draped across messianic mammaries, freshly manicured nails comfortably distanced from the flesh-piercing ones, and a glossed out mouth ready to sneer "Betta make it rain, motherfucka, or I'm out." In hip-hop's unholier-than-thou heirarchy, Remy's just upped the game. The admonition scrolled across the bottom of her cover says it best: "Yall bitches workin on yall albums go back to the studio immediately."
u gettin a one way ticket 2 hell..i sorry have 2 hear it this way..dats y u n jail now lol

She seems okay with being crucified, like, 'Hmmm,what's fo'lunch?'.
