So here is the pitch. God has decided that the world needs one true religion and that there is only one way to settle which Religion is the truest, a rap battle tournament. The battle will feature the 16 holiest MCs ever to walk the earth representing all the worlds great Religions. 1. Jesus 2. Muhammad 3. Shiva 4.Zues 5.Buddha 6. Moses 7. The Jade Emperor 8. L Ron Hubbard 9. Chukwu 10. Tezcatipoca 11. Ra 12. Santa Claus 13. Baal 14. Satan 15. Joseph Smith 16. and Mother Earth  The plot would consist of both the actual battles and the down time before and after the battles. Each of the Religious figures like any good rapper, go to the event which is to be held in Jerusalem with a giant entourage. For example, Jesus has his 12 Disciples and Mary Mardalene. Zues would show up with Athena, Hera, Poseidon and the other Olympic Gods. L Ron Hubbard would have Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Danny Masterson and Isaac Hayes.  We get glimpses into the interactions between the rappers and their Entourages in between battles and when they first get invited to participate in the event. I am pretty sure that I would have to put Jesus vs. Mohammad as the final battle for maximum. The D.J. for the event would be Superman. That’s all I got so far. I just wanted to get it out in the public record in case someone steals that idea to show I had it first. Now I am on to doing the research to write the actual script. This might take me a few years and make me go to hell, but damn it I am going to get it done.
In case you where wondering, this idea came to me as I was wondering around town in a Bob Dylanesque manner during one of the hottest nights of the year and a Red Sox off day and Rakim’s new song “Holy Are You” came on my ipod and I began thinking about the fact that there are a lot of rappers who have claimed to be the “God MC”
