"church clothes 2" is the second of lecrae's mixtape and a sequel to the tape he released the previous year, "church clothes", which also saw don cannon as the host. the tape was downloaded 100,000 times off datpiff.com in only 48 hours, and was hailed as possibly "the most important christian hip hop album in history." however, the mixtape also generated controversy in christian circles due to lecrae's collaboration with the "secular" producer don cannon, concerns of him "selling-out" to a mainstream audience, and perceptions that lecrae took a harsh view of the church in the mixtape's single, "church clothes".
