Some people have told me that they appreciate Will going hard on organized religion, and I get that that's a rare and underexplored topic especially in hip-hop, but I still think it's a reach to connect Will's judgy ex with 9/11

I didn't show this part but Will is not coming at it from an atheist perspective, he repeatedly expresses his religious bonafides, as in, "I'm a real Christian, I live my faith every day, I don't need to flex it like you, a born-again who discovered Christ in her mid-30s"

Gotta say, after all the criticism Will got for his "don't curse" preachiness, it must have felt nice to be the one calling someone else preachy. (and to call someone an Uncle Tom for that matter; it wasn't super-common but I do remember Will getting called that)

Because people are bringing it up in the comments: I don't think Will was involved yet with Scientology at the time (and he's been out of there since at least 2015, according to people who'd know). tonyortega.org/2022/03/28/no-…
