As a student, and seemingly a man with something to prove, he broke down his Kemetic understanding of the sacred with his own scriptures and real-man talk.Īctually, for the last couple of years, almost every battle that Saga has accepted has been masterful. The mere exegesis of his material was masterful. While they may not believe in his Jesus, but they have come to believe that the Sensei Saga should not be slept on.Ī gifted wordsmith, he stitches together rhymes like a dope preacher, articulating the Gospel through metaphors, pop culture references, and unbelievable schemes that are in a word, “anointed.”Ĭonsider his last battle on a Rooftop against the West Coast Black nationalist B-Dot - that one that is most certainly a contender for not only “battle of the year” but possibly the third from Saga could be the top verse for 2020.
Often called the culture’s pastor, his creative musing of the Holy Spirit uses his faith to craft bars that make people become believers. He is a Man of God and moves like that in both spaces. The mockery is not the reason he should not be called “church boy.” He shouldn’t be called that because it would not represent truly who he is to the church body nor the world of battle rap. To defend one’s self from the phrase continuously has to be exhausting. It is a pistol-of-a-notion, birthed from the immature womb of toxic masculinity. In urban culture, the term has been weaponized against Black and Brown men.įor some strange reason, the expression invokes an overarching idea that a man is “soft” cause he goes to church or that he lacks the validating experiences that approve people’s “hood cards.” Because most Black and Brown churches are mostly populated by women, “church boy” and “mama’s boy” are social constructs tightly intertwined- slung at men to emasculate. Th3 Saga does not like to be called a “church boy,” and he shouldn’t be called that for good reason: he is not. Where I differ … is my boldness in my faith in the battle rap culture.”
Other battle rappers were Christians in the culture, but they didn’t really wave the banner of their faith as much as a believer should in a culture of darkness. “On a technicality, I am not the first battler that is a Christian.
