The Christian rap video destined for Tosh.0

The Non-Obama/Osama-Internet-Meme-Of-The-Moment centers around Christian rap and, no surprise, it's not good.

In the mid-90's this poor kid appeared on a low-budget Christian TV show and performed the song "Nu Thang" by his favorite group at the time - dc talk. Apparently someone found the tape, posted it online, and boom - Michael Clancy is the new Rebecca Black.



Clancy has responded to posts about this on sites like Jesus Needs New PR and seems to be taking it in stride.

His comment: "Hey, I’m not in therapy but I might be after this blows over. I was 10 years old when this was recorded and yes, those are imitation hammer pants and pumps. It’s crazy where this video has gone in 24 hours and I didn’t even post it!"

But undoubtedly, it'll end up on Comedy Central's Tosh.0 show even though the original version isn't much better. Let's just hope Clancy gets a "Web Redemption" segment and not an all out roast (which is possible given Daniel Tosh's own religious upbringing.)

The "Capital Cities Remix" version is slightly better. And yes, it has Auto-Tune.

BTW: This very well could have been me.
