Cold Truth said:wow....
you know, this is kinda messed up. i am so tired of people talking about how "sick" they are of "christian propaganda" when the music industry, BY AND LARGE, is almost exclusively a secular venture. sex, drugs, bangin, slanging, pimpin, flossin, etc are all readily accepted but somebody expressing their faith in a God is somehow scourge to hip hop?
NOW, i understand not liking what is out there; i am a believer myself and i have a hard time listening to other Christian artists because the quality is just not that good, and its usually cheesy to me. i still respect what they are trying to do.
somehow, its ok for rappers of an islamic/5% tilt (wu tang, mos def, brand nubian, etc) to do their thing, its cool to mention allah and all that, but hey, KEEP THOSE JESUS FREAKS OUT OF MUSIC.
shoved down yuor throats? how/when? when was the last time mtv played a Christian rapper? when was the last time your local radio station played one? now the rock scene is a bit different...
but seriously. if yuo dont like it, i respect that and you are entiteld to that. but im going to be real... thats real discouraging and hurtful to me to see how much hatred some of you show just because someone chooses to share their faith. you do not have to listen to it- but to say that it has no place in music? wow. thats a powerful statement.
if yuo do not believe, fine. if you are a "man of science" or whatever, fine- nevermind that there doesnt have to be a seperation there until the THEORY of macro-evolution comes into play- but thats fine.
i have no issue with you not believing, not liking Christianity or those of us who believe, but to tell me that MY faith, MY experiences and MY story HAS NO PLACE in the music that MY GOD gifted me to make, thats just hateful. it really is.
so its ok for me to write a song about how much i love strippers, but i cant write a story about loving God?
now, as far as this whole "my god can beat up your god" thing, with everybody fighting and arguing and whatnot... thats not my thing. however, i am firm in what i believe just as any muslim, naturalist, or athiest. the issue i have here is that each of those groups are readily acceptable to most of you, however my group is met with such a fierce and unnecesary hatred. dont want me to preach to you? fine. i understand that. bbut to say that i have no right to express my faith in my music, wheather i am up front and in your face ala most christian artists, or more subtle (it is) like a U2 or Chevelle....... either way, i have that right and perhaps yuo do not like it in your listening, but for there to be such hatred from you guys- guys i would have no problem kickin it with, doing shows with, working with, whatever.... that burns a bit.
Lo'Nye said:Yes I would still buy their albums if the quality is good. I really think that there is more in life than cursin', sex, money etc...
Producer_GyaL said:Thanks LO'NYE!!!!!!!!! Your one of the few people that answered my question. It's not my problem if people do not believe, that was NOT my question. For me, it is getting pretty boring to always hear music with someone cursings hoes and how many time they got shot. I was just wondering if their lyrics would change, if people would still buy their stuff. People started to take my words personnally and started to be harsh an no respectfull. As a matter of fact, im catholic and my relation with God is my business. Im just not scared to say how Good he is. However, i KNOW rappers wont waste a dope flow on a topic that concern Religion. I have many friends who dosent belive, i know people who believe in other stuff and i respect totally. i just wanted to know musically what they would think about this. People started to attack me personnaly so thats why i said "it sad that they dont understand" Whatever, im Humble, im sorry for this thread and to everybody. I wont post anymore stuff here.
DJ Hoppa said:No.
Religious Hip Hop Is Wack.
actually, i dont buy their albums as is, they are crap.
It would just be ridiculous if out of no where they flip their style up. Dont get me wrong, most of the hip hop I already listen to is positive/uplifting, but come one, Stay true to self.
Plus, I dont want to be preached, converted, or outreached to, especially by rappers.
M!nd_Ctrl said:Look, I don't know if any of this is a response to my comment, but if it is you got it twisted my friend. First off, I never said you can't believe what you want to believe. Secondly, my comment about propoganda stems from what I have experienced with Christian "missionaries" in Irvine and here in Burbank. Plus that sentence was supposed to represent a hypothetical future in which rap was more God-centered, not commenting on stuff I've heard.
The bottom line here is that you can rap about God if you want...I just ain't gonna buy it if I believe it goes overboard on the God tip. Talk about God and how he is good. Talk about Allah and how he is good. Talk about Jehova and how he is good. Talk about how you're trying to become a Buddha. But, I don't need to hear that the earth was created in seven days or "Peter built the Church on the rock..."
Please don't take this the wrong way.
