It has been observed that
choristers in many Pentecostal
churches in Nigeria are infusing
taste of Hip-Hop and Fuji tunes into
their praise and worship lyrics.
Some churches even have
choreography team who specialises
in hip-hop steps. Is it right, proper
or not really a sin?
Comments:
Havialh93: Is there a specific type
of music that is supposed to be
strictly for praise and worship only?
Tell South Africans to stop singing
Kwaito or whatever in churches, tell
south Americans to stop singing
Samba songs as praise worship.
It all has to do with the heart. You
might not sing hip hop or Fuji, but
yet, your heart is unclean, but
someone singing hip hop, and does it
with the whole of his heart, with
open minds, gets his blessings and
leaves.
Rotlan: Personally, I see nothing
wrong as long as the lyrics are
glorifying God. At least the Yoruba
use “Ewi” which was being used in
worshiping their kings and
traditional deities to worship in
church today and no one has raised
an objection. But what I really have
issues with is the makosa, azonto
etc being used. But all the same, it’s
just my own personal opinion.
James Richard: Whether members
of a particular church sing and
dance alanta, Fuji, hip pop, kunkere,
awilo, akpala and the rest, as long as
God almighty is being worshiped,
praised, adored and glorified, my
guy, it is good to go. My bretheren,
let’s join them in no time to dance
before stones go take your place.

Uhnnmm

As a gospel artist my self, Gospel is not a type of music, gospel is a message! While hip hop, fuji, juju, highlife, ragae, makosa, galala, rock, blues, jazz etc are all type of music style. Therefore, any style of music can be used to pass d msg of gospel. Wot matter most is d lyrics n ur action during d ministration or performance. I use highlife and juju style in my gospel music. Or can I ask dis? Wot is d registered or normal beat of gospel music? Wu can answer dat! No one!

I totally disagree with you. You don't have to copy the world. Dancing all sorts of nonsense style in the world is disallowed in the presence of God. Anything far from Modesty is unholy in the presence of God.

I went to This Present House and their choir did a nice gospel song sampling Duncan Mighty's Obianuju. So the would say stuff like "Baba Na You" instead of "Obianuju".

The song was nice but I felt a bit uncomfortable. The choir may as well have sampled Sir Mix a Lot's Baby got back or Ice Prince's Magician.

Not again!

That devil is a bastard.

Betray him and do the hipop, azonto, etghi, kukere and all dances to Jah! Instead.

By dere fruit u shall knw dem

E get one church wey I go the other day. They remixed Terry G's Akpako master to a naija gospel song. I was highly amused.
~Oya Satan I go knack you akpako

Jesus make you knack am, knack am, knack am. . .
