My brain creates ideas and thoughts at random moments. As I was lying down for bed with my girlfriend and son during Hurricane Irma, preparing for one of the worst storms I’ve ever experienced, I remembered my mom telling my brother and I to say the Lord’s Prayer during troubling times as a kid. “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep”, popped in my head just like I had recited it when I was younger. My mind began pondering if what millions of people have been taught over the years with religion was really something bad. What if this Lord we prayed to take our souls was really a bad entity? By no means am I a religious person but you see how my brain operates. Then I began thinking of Pastor Troy’s ‘Vice Versa’ and the whole concept of everything being not what we originally thought.

Advertisement-- ‘Vice Versa’ is a record that is criminally slept on. Unless you’re a Hip-Hop enthusiast or a fan of southern Hip-Hop you may have never heard of Pastor Troy. The Atlanta, GA rapper didn’t garner much commercial success during his career but ‘Vice Versa’ will go down as his Mona Lisa.

“What if heaven was hell and vice versa? If I told you go to hell would you tell I cursed ya?” PT Cruiser begins the Carl Mo produced record, offering a thought provoking question. What if heaven is really hell? Could you imagine believing one thing for your entire life that’s supposed to be good, only to end up being lied to and it being the worst fate you could imagine for the after life? We’re brought up to believe what we’re taught at young ages are absolutely right but aren’t taught to question them. Any sort of a challenge is looked at as disrespectful rather than discussion on why someone’s belief system is like this. My brother and I were in church three times a week while living with my mom. Beyond sync pro serial.

It wasn’t necessarily the notion of us questioning if it was the right thing to believe in, moreso the demand of going so many times that we opted not to attend once we were able to make decisions for ourselves. As we got older we were able to develop our own beliefs based on life experiences, world events, and many other things (religion is always a circus freak show to talk about between my brother and my mom at Thanksgiving). Yet Pastor Troy, a southern rapper, questions everything from the beginning of his long verse on this classic record. “Again I ask heaven was hell or vice versa/would you start doin’ evil in order to nurture” -Pastor Troy The south has always been portrayed as a region that didn’t have “lyricists” or “conscious” sounding artists for many years. “Y’all don’t hear me you just wanna dance” would be the prime quote for most people who heard the likes of Outkast, Goodie Mob, Scarface, and more as there were plenty of artists who had a message; they just styled it in a way that was more fun to digest. Pastor Troy’s ‘Vice Versa’ is nearly 4 minutes of discussion about spirituality. This is one of the first records to ever make me question my beliefs.
