Whoa...The Game has been taken us to church with his #SundayService promotional series and the holy ghost is ever present in his fourth installment. Black Jesus showcases a beat with samples so soulful and a bass line so moving that it doesn't even need to leave it's 4 bar loop. Shout out to SAP for producing this one. The Game seems to have taken his style to another level on this one. Always a confident rapper, The Game was previously more reliant on battle rhymes with aggressive wordplay - which was not a bad thing at all. He allows himself to loosen up his flow a bit with a "Yeesy" inspired style, stretching words and playing with pronunciations. I mean really...I thought that was Kanye and the hook. The repeated mention of Yeezys didn't help matters. The Game spits lines that fit the mood of the track well here, mentioning the untimely passing of Chris Lighty and Biggie's rightful place in heaven. On one hand, i'm incredibly pleased that this track is released for free, but on the other hand i'm asking myself "How did this track NOT make the album?!". Either way, this provides proper anticipation for the Jesus Piece album dropping 12.11.12, while possibly being the dopest free track released all year.
