02/27/07 - Bishop Lamont More Controversial Than Eminem?

J-Banks · 02-27-2007, 03:02 PM

"Fuck the Klan." Bishop Lamont is speaking out.

Lamont is relatively new to the mainstream, but is backed by none other than Dr. Dre. While still prepping his next album, he has recorded tracks for a new mixtape and much like Dr. Dre's other proteges, he is dropping it with a slew of controversy.

"[Dre] was like, 'The only other cat that made me uncomfortable was Em,' " Lamont told MTV recently. "I got this other [song] called 'Street Theology,' and it's just looking at religion. [Dre] was like, 'I don't know, you talking about spitting from the Good Book and [sex acts]. I don't know.' ... My auntie is a minister. I got a lot of family in the Mosque. It's the same thing as it is in the streets, but the kids gotta relate to it. ... [Dre] said, 'I'm uncomfortable, but it's good.'"

The mixtape is full of controversy, as it shows Lamont wearing KKK gear on the front cover.

"F--- the Klan," he said. "I'mma rock your sh-- and make fun of you. I'm clowning them like 'F--- these n---as. You gonna have to find something else to rock, 'cause we gonna make people laugh at you.' ... That's how people should look at the Klan and racism — as a joke — because they're f---in' lost."

Expect to hear more from Bishop, as he is slated to appear in Detox and Eminem's next LP.

this doesnt make him more controversial, you have to rap about drug overdoses and raping your mother and showing your ass every time your on tv to be more controversial than eminem

How does this make him more controversial than Em?? It doesnt. Talking about religion and the KKK?? Bishop is cool and all, but lets face it, he aint gonna ever be anything big. He aint gonna come close to doing what Em did, being the biggest selling rapper ever, him and Pac are in the 70 plus million range worldwide, think Pac has a little more, but he also has like 10 more albums than Em, that will change once Em puts out 1 more album. Then 50 is on top right now, 21 mill off 2 albums, his crew G Unit has sold almost 20 mill, shit even Game, which 50 made a star, but he sold 5 mill out the box. Does anyone think that Bishop will do anything like that in this rap game? It dont matter if he is on Detox or Ems album, it aint gonna matter if Dre produces his whole album, I dont see him becoming the next King of LA.
