Scientology Rap

I’ve been driving past this sign every few days on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. It’s a painted-over abandoned sign with that weird old pre-internet Scientology logo, eerie and supernatural looking. Love it.

For some reason, in some form of loopy free-association, every time I see it I think of Raekwon’s classic banger “Criminology Rap” -

And in allowing that free-association to consume me for a just minute more, I was reminded of two of my favorite websites - Hip Hop Is Read, a great website that specializes in dissecting the samples used for various classic hip-hop albums, and Operation Clambake (  Xenu.net), a great website that specializes in dissecting Scientology.

So spend an hour checking out how someone finally figured out the sample for ‘Ice Cream’ and what the fuck is up with L. Ron Hubbard’s Sea Organization, the Scientology Navy. Yeah, they have a navy. More like a cruise ship, but yeah.

Stay “clear,” everybody!
