Lil Nas X only makes blockbusters with his music videos. The American rapper goes all out in each of his music videos and creates his own universe, where heaven and hell are connected by a pole dance pole. This is how we saw it in Montero or in Industry Baby. Now, three years later, the artist returns in style with J Christ. A song that is coming with a bang and that is already giving a lot of talk. Not only for its lyrics, but also for the video clip.
The artist already revealed that J Christ was a comeback, a kind of musical resurrection like the “man who had the greatest comeback of all time, Jesus.” No sooner said than done! Not only has he returned in style, but he has portrayed some of the most well-known moments of the Bible in his video. And it was Lil Nas X himself who wrote and directed this visual piece. A project that is full of messages.
In fact, just at the beginning, we can see the faces of some of the most famous people in the world ascending to heaven: from Barack Obama to Mariah Carey, passing through Oprah. Obviously they are imitators, but the message is already sending: we all end up dying.
But that’s just the beginning of the video. The first image we have of Lil Nas X is as if he were a saint who walks like a pop star through the sky, even greeting Michael Jackson. We also see him competing with a demon in a kind of ring where he ends up being the cheerleader, posing at the Met Gala and even as Moses opening the waters.
The video is truly crazy that seems taken directly from a dream world: that of Lil Nas X. Furthermore, at the end of the video, Lil Nas One that refers to new beginnings: “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature (new creation); old things have passed away, now they have become new.”
And Lil Nas gays). Without a doubt, Lil Nas X knows how to leave us speechless.
