2Pac has made his way into a book of Christmas carols and prayers as organizers of a Sri Lankan holiday festival accidentally printed the lyrics to his “Hail Mary” track instead of the traditional prayer to the Virgin Mary.
The booklet for the 2016 Joy to the World: A Festival of Music and Harmony was posted on Twitter, showing the cover of the collection and the lyrics published inside.
The event, held December 11 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, was a fundraiser for “poverty alleviation projects” and featured various musical performances.
As Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the single was a part of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album where 2Pac, who went under the name Makaveli, is portrayed on the cover as the spiritual leader nailed to a cross.
“Hail Mary” was covered by Lil Wayne in 2011 when the New Orleans rapper paid tribute to ‘Pac during an episode of MTV: Unplugged. The song was also part of the Creed soundtrack last year.
Watch the original video for 2Pac’s “Hail Mary” below.
Hahaha I wish I was there n saw this. A more appropriate song to use is “Blasphemy” off the same Makaveli album. That song is deep as hell and covers common beliefs that Christians have.
This wasn’t a accident. You can see in the pic the white man’s spelling of the n word.
Sri Lanka is far from being a white man’s country.
Right but racist are everywhere,even in Sri Lanka. You don’t have to be white to be racist.
you another level of dumbass if you think sri lanka is a white mans country lmao
Your the dumbass who can’t comprehend English. I said”the white man’s spelling of the n word” I never said the white man’s country.
Read my reply to Grinch that was actually for you
Sri lankans are brown you absolute ignorant fool
No your the ignorant fool who thinks just because someone is brown they can’t be racists.
just to shed some light over this brown white racist debate. I am a sri Lankan who took offense to being called brown back in highschool. I wanted to be known as black. so this whole racists can be other than white does not apply to me .
