4 The Christian Livin In Hip hop Times

Holy hip hop? I thot i was done pimpin 4 hip hop. I call it the Cinderella of this world-THE MOST UNLOVED WOMAN.

I even cut off ma cornrows cos i dont want to major in minors no more. Whether hip hop is a fallen culture or from Hell, the bottom line always remains dat God came to save a lost and fallen world thru Jesus, cultures inclusive.


To me a holy hip hopper is one who still identifies with the positive elements of the culture like slang, fashion, grafitti and b-bouying but submits them to the Lordship of Jesus. Like i rock slang but i aint vulgar cas am done with the F' word...and the like.( I was havin beef with one blogger cos she done changed especially with her choice of diction). I dont need to be vulgar to sound cool. I love fashion but i aint the kinda brother dat will spot ma baggies and flash ma draws too. Nam sayn?

I mean it aint the culture that is intrinsically evil but its the corrupt hearts of its patrons. U cant listen to 50 cent without getting offended if u r well groomed.

Holy hip hop is an oxymoron to many 'high' folks but thats where the testimony lies. If i call myself a holy man, i hope u aint gonna beef with that. We was born in sin(from Adam fall) and his story describes the fall of man after sin. God came to an unholy world(the 2nd Adam), found unholy men and made them holy thru the blood. Now we can brag and say we r holy if we r set apart for God, sanctified and submit totally to the Lordship of Jesus.

If God can use a horse to speak, He sure can use hip hop for His Glory. The devil has been the undisputed king for long in this culture but its time we dispute him with grit and grumption. Our weapons aint against flesh and blood but principalities.

whaddup s.a.g.e.,

thanx 4 sharin that...you are correct in that...it is not the culture that is inherently evil...but rather some of the participants...and most of that is by default and ignorance...in other words everyone is doing what they have seen done...and what they are being rewarded for doing...the culture needs people like you who have come to know the truth...to share that knowledge and help to bridge the gap that exist between the church and hip hop.
