Here we go again. Conservative blogger and Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin has reaped a whirlwind of hate tweets from fans of hip/hop artist The Game. : It’s due to the cover art of his new album Jesus Piece, which features a depiction of Christ that some consider blasphemous. : Malkin had a post[2] about it on her blog on December 11. : According to Twitchy[3]:

The Game released a controversial artwork of the album via: Instagram: on October 21, 2012 and also announced the release date will be December 11. The cover portrays a dark-skinned: Jesus: in a stained glass window with a teardrop tattoo, a red bandanna around his mouth, and he is wearing a Jesus piece.[13][4]: In the artwork beside: Jesus, are symbols of: cannabis sativa: leaves. The stained glass-inspired image shows Jesus sitting on a throne adorned with gang-related symbols. In the artwork, Jesus is holding a gold “Jesus Piece” chain and pointing to a symbol on his breast plate. The red bandana over his mouth is a reference to the Compton: PiruBloods: gang, to which Game is allegedly a member.[14][5]: The coconut tree symbolises the Tropics and leisure life. The artwork has a slightly altered logo on the top, which features on all of the previous Game’s studio albums. The album’s title: Jesus Piece: is stylized as: Je5us Piece, depicting that it is Game’s fifth studio album.: Je5us Piece: logo is styled after the iconic: Louis Vuitton. The religious imagery of the art has gained mixed reviews and the ire of some fans who deem the work as: blasphemous.[15][6]Several celebrities praised the artwork including, rap veteran: Busta Rhymes,: Mac Miller: and: Kevin Hart.[16][7]

Additionally, “why the boycott? Does it matter? It must be because of her blog post calling attention to: The Game’s cover for his new CD, “Jesus Piece,”[8]: which some people found blasphemous in its conflation of Catholic, gang and drug-related imagery. (Both SPIN and Entertainment Weekly thought it kind of sucked, so you’d better boycott them for being racist, too.),” according to the Twitchy staff[9].

As such, The Game threw a temper tantrum — and implored his fans to boycott Fox News 11 and Michelle Malkin. : In the meantime, you can see the depravity his followers left on Malkin’s timeline.
