the vatican is a city in the middle of rome responsible for popes, small football teams, oddly-dressed soldiers, pretty ceilings and raekwon mixtapes.
it's 2008, and the vatican has stepped its game up. it last published a list of seven deadly sins in the sixth century. since then, biggie and 2pac have passed away, australia has had an olympics, and akon has taken over the airwaves. hence versace-sporting classy-freddie-blassie-lookalike pope cardinal ratzinger has issued seven new sins to get all worked up about. some funny, some tragic. i'm not sure whether this was issued in the form of a 'papal bull', but i sure hope so.
whether you're indulging in sin, avoiding it at all costs, or inspired by an missionary urge to rid the world of it, you'll need some fine tunes to keep your head nodding while you go about your business. GMS hereby issues an accompanying mixtape - sing when you're sinning! or not sinning. enjoy!
