Rap in the Unlikeliest of Places

So, in my sociolinguistics class a few weeks ago we were talking about how the Bible has influenced English and one of the uruguayans started to sing Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio. How in the world did that song even reach this side of the world?! In case you never heard of the song, the rap starts with the Lord's prayer "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...", which we were talking about in class that day. Imagine a uruguayan girl rapping that in the middle of class. Unfortunately our older British professor did not get the joke at all, but that was his loss. I, however, was having trouble breathing from laughing so hard.
