I know by this title this statement is going to rub some people the wrong way but i have to speak the whole truth and nothing but truth so help me God.
I want made one thing clear , i am to writing this to put down Mainstream Hip-Hop but to hopefully help people realize that God, Good Morals, and real talk belong in Hip-Hop.
I want to start off how I fell in love with hip hop but let make it clear God is my first love .
The first hip hop song i heard was Notorious B.i.G.'s Juicy, It blew mind how he could tell a story and make me feel i was there. right then and there i fell in love with hip hop. That song came out in "94 when i was five , so i have been hop hop nerd for 21 years.
I have listened to hip hop all my life and when i got saved i stopped listening to hip hop because at the time i did not know about Christian hip hop . Well when i went to a bible college in Maine i met one of best friends sam . Sam introduced me to Lecrae , Trip Lee, Flame and so many more. I could not believe how dope theses rappers are and how much truth were in theses songs. I was hooked and from that day i wanted to share to everyone that Christian hip hop is were were real hip hop lives.
A couple months ago I got curious about were mainstream hip hop was at ( side note: the only time i listen to mainstream hip hop is when cars go by my place or somebody is playing it, which i try to avoid ) .
I have to say......... WHAT HAPPEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
Yes when i when i was growing Hip hop had bad moral's liars, and materialistic rappers but they were true mc's and cared about there music. Now it seems rapper s can say what they want on song and doesn't have to rhyme , an it will sell . To me thats messed up !
An what really makes me sad is that theses rappers these day have become so fake !
For example Rick Ross, he was a Correction Officer and plus he raps about being a big time drug dealer but never sold a gram in his life. To me , a former drug dealer , thats me mad because he is glorifying dealing and making it seem like it a wonderful thin when its not. Dealing drugs can put money in your pocket but it mostly brings misery and death.
Then you got rappers like future were i have no gule if they are a rapper or a singer.
In my opinion, you are either a rapper or a singer , period.
Now not saying Christian hip hop is perfect , i mean we have some christian rapper that will use the n word or cruse in there lyrics, which i think is wrong. But at least they are real and are tryin to help this generation see the God's love and tryin to help them live the right way .
The main reason i think Christian hip hop is better is that they are real and bring glory to Jesus.
I can listen to Christian hip hop with any age group and not have to be embarrassed of the lyrics .
This is my opinion , it up to you to come with you own but do me a favor look up Lecrae, trip lee, flame, tedashii, shia line, stephen the levite, young noah, and dre the flame. i could give you more but i want you to listen th theses rapper's and here some dope hip hop.
