Game's New Album Cover Angers The Roman Catholic Church

Compton rapper Game dropped his anticipated fifth album "Jesus Piece" today, but not everyone was excited about it. Game managed to earn the ire of the Roman Catholic Church by choosing some controversial cover art depicting a "black jesus" for the deluxe edition.

"The Roman Catholic Church called Interscope, and it got really crazy," Game told Vibe.

Game originally planned to use this as the image of the regular album as well, but he decided to cool things off by using an old picture of his slain brother instead. Game says of his 15-year-old brother's tragic death, "That was the day that changed my life."

Game's new album is in stores now.

We can use white Jesus, even though he is not European. We are hypocrites. We must preserve the lies. Worship white Jesus. Pay my church slave.

What's the uproar over a fuckin' picture? I thought America was the so called land of the free? When racist images dipicting black men eatin' chicken and watermelons with big red lips offended blacks, Where was the outcry then? America has become a very sensitive society in recent years. Instead of the catholic church worryin' about an image, They need to get them priest out their churches who molest young boys. They are truly some hypocrites!
