As I'm sure you all know, today is June 6th, 2006, or 6/6/6. While there has been some debate about it, most authorities on the Bible believe that 666 is the "Mark of the Beast" (though some people believe the actual number is 616). As to what that actually means, there are
several theories out there, none of them particularly good for the future of mankind as it is generally considered to be a sign of the apocalypse or the coming of the Antichrist. So far, as of 9:45AM EST, the Earth seems to still be here so there's a slight possibility we might just get through this day alive. Cross your fingers.
I've been searching through hip hop to find any signs of the upcoming apocalypse, and I think I found one: a song with everyone's favorite man of the cloth, Pastor Ma$e, rapping over a
666 Mafia Three Six Mafia beat talking about killing people with his nine millimeter. I'm pretty sure there was a reference to a song like that in the Bible's Revelations. My favorite part of the song is the ending, right after a sound effect of a gun cocking back, where Mase takes the time to give a shoutout to Jesus:
Mase Got My Nine (mp3)
There's a chance I've put that one up before, so as a bonus for 6/6/6 day, here's a dj blend of Three Six Mafia's Stay Fly, by DJ Jelly of
The Southern Style DJs:
