This Pope, his holiness Pope Francis, might know how to drop a beat.
The Pope recently visited a mosque in a Muslim neighborhood of the Central African Republic’s capital that has been a flashpoint for violent clashes, according to CNN. He is continuing his message of religious tolerance on the final leg of his African tour, spitting messages of peace. At least, that’s how the internet likes to think of him.
The Pope has become a meme recently when he was photographed with a microphone in one hand and a badass look on his face. Some may even suggest it appears as it the pontiff was about to drop a beat.
This isn’t the first time the Pope’s general look has been associated with the rap game either. Check out what one Twitter user noticed earlier this year:

As tends to happen with any original thought that goes viral, the thought quickly went on to lack any originality. Twitter users flocked to the idea of inserting a rhyme and giving the Pope something to rap about. Fortunately, these Twitter users were funny and the meme is hilarious, so I thought I’d write about it to entertain you, my bored reader.
Here’s proof that our current Pope is better than Eminem:

Even Jay Z doesn’t write words like this:
"If you're troubled by the devil, I will pray for you Son, coz I've got 99 problems, but Satan ain't one." #PopeBars pic.twitter.com/H196wHVii3
