Popular and controversial American rapper, KanyeWest, has
released his own bible called ‘The Book of Yeezus’ - which takes every mention
of God andchanges it to ‘Kanye’ or ‘Yeezus’.According to reports, the Yeezus
bible is essentially,the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament.But
rather than crediting God with creating our world,now it reads: "In the
beginning Kanye created the heaven and the earth… And Kanye said, Let there be light:
and there was light." As discovered by Consequence of Sound, this
'editorial art piece' has been published by three US-based brothers who are
selling the black rdcover book via Etsy for £13.77.
"Such past icons have been the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe,
John Lennon, or Michael Jackson. For this generation, Generation Y, Kanye West
is not only its greatest spectacle, but in some senses, a spiritual figure."What
if the Bible, the most singularly significant publication in the ancient canon of Western tradition, were updated to reflect
our modern society? What would it look like? What we came up with was an interventionist
art, coffee-table novelty, that will appeal to both Kanye fans everywhere and
those made curious by this enormous cultural phenomenon."
