Kirk Franklin's 'Silver and Gold' turned into 'alcoholic anthem'

Kirk Franklin's Silver and Gold gospel song has been re-styled by hip-hopper T-Pain, outraging gospel fans. T-Pain's version is about mixing different types of tequila.

Franklin and T-Pain had a heart-to-heart about the secular styling of the 1993 gospel song that in part speaks to needing God over riches.

T-Pain talks about his re-styling of the gospel song in an interview with MTV. To read the interview, click here.
