Why is it that most people believe that gospel music has to be stricly like worship. I mean all slow and almost getting you to cry?

That like ain't the bom you know. Well I feel gospel music is to be real fly. I feel Gospel Rock and Gospel Hip-hop. Christianity isn't some dull group. It has life and when I say life I say life. We are having the better side of the fun!

I don't think Gospel Music to be 'sad' n 'solem' 'Cos like you said there are gospel rock and hip hop and that isn't 'sad' or 'solem' in anyway.

Gospel music is not to be sad ;.music is jus a means of passing an informaton.Gospel music can be hip hop or rap .the koko is that the message shuld be grabbed by pple

I know gospl music aint sad. I love it. At school most at time when i am listening to music and someone wants to pull ma earphones off I just say gospel music and they back off like it is some plague or contageous disease. I love it cos i get to keep ma earphones but I hate it coz they are missing the message.
 Gospel Hip hop brings the Gospel, the Good news of christ to you in an accepytable way. It aint taking Christ away fronm you.
Who feels me?

And to really enjoy Gospel music you' ve got to really listen to the lyrics else the song won't make sense.

Add some kirk franklin to ur life n u'll see dat gospel music isnt all sad n solem

i love gospel music that u can dance to @ parties,

and like u said gospel music aint solem and sad. check out this  girl Busola Oke , her music is on point.

of course not, a lot of our nigerian gospel artistes are giving sound a different meaning and dance an african approach.

here are some gospel Rock artists that i know of. Toby mac, DC Talk, Newsboys, jars of clay, Switch foot, Sanctus real, Kutless, Odd Man Out, Micheal Tait, K-Max, 12 Stones(though they are not too clear. i don't get if they really are gospel or want to capture the two markets). guess you should easilly be able to get their albums.
who knows any real cool Nigerian Gospel artist? i would really l;ike to get a couple of them. i have a few though.

well 4 mi my people i believe gospel music really helps people. coz if i do listen to some gospel music which touch ur heart, u wouldn't know when u will start crying and makes u feel so deeply into emotion of no reason. lol

Believe me gospel music move. in a happy mood, u need some Darlem zeach (wrong spelling). sha she is the Hilsong gospel woman. she makes me feel like jumping.
