Notn sha do my naija hiphop artistes,so notn do me!

@Rhapsody,,thanks a million.

i don't know where to start,i remember everybody was given a brain to process information and reason.some of us have absolutely lost that function.
if jayz is comparing himself to something doesnt mean he believes in it.musicians don't really live their lifes as portrayed in their lyrics.THEY WANT TO SELL RECORDS.its purely biz

since when has commemorating the life of a great musician turned to worship

you just tell the guy that our heavenly father make the best music ever. secondly, everyone has the right to choose which tread or genre of music to appreciate which is what i call excercising your free will.

Whacks Kano-Stryda Man Remix In d HIFI}

hip hop is not evil, is we dat are evil, listen to kirk franklin doesnt mean u will make 2 haven and going to church evryday doest mean u will make it 2 haven.
jay z, game, 50 cent etc are all gangsters, so, wat d fuzz.

note: Bleep JAY-Z

Music is not evil. What is in people's hearts when they write it and the effects of those who are impressionable can be good or evil and it doesn't matter if we're talking about Rap, RnB, Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Country, whatever.

Evil minds, create evil music regardless of genre.

If hip hop's evil then, hell awaits us

For those that said jz called himself God by claming he's JAY HOVA (not jehova). i.e God/King/Leader of Music

;DHip Hop is Truth, Rock is evil ok @poster you are very stupid and you need to Apologise

The mainland African must seriously understand this; You will not see conscious rap music from the west on African TV screens. We question the mentality of the African media machine to allow these videos on to our screens. Do they actually believe that sex / gangster rap videos from the US are going to stimulate positive change in urban Africa? You see, if western reasoning is regarded as GOOD by default then the African mind can be guided in any direction by those who authorise western ethics. Urban Africa should know that there are millions of conscious Africans in the US and Europe who oppose the current form of Rap and R&B music given to the world as NORMAL by the MTV / BET / pay per view machine. We are very keen to have people from the continent of Africa be introduced to this information. Many people may be offended by the information but if you truly respect nature and science, you will understand.

Check this out .The word of God is the final arbitrator and it talks about renewing our minds.Rom12v2.So we gotta flip away from all this worldly music cause it traps/snares people by the peeps repeating the words,Remember the word we say have power and are law in the spirit.

""if u wana close ya eyez cuz the badman is around the corner
u might miss seein the good one"

evry aspect of life or lemme say music has got a -ve side,so live
with it.choose the good one

if u say this music is bad the other is evil u will end up listenin 2 none

life itself is,

if hip hop is evil then Kirk franklin is, what, don't you know the difference between a genre and the lyrics of some particular artists.

hiphop isnt evil in it self. i use to listen to jz and 50cent bout once i got save i stop. it wasnt godly inspired. you have to becareful what you let in to gods temple. now to to say hip hop is evil is a lie and theres no bible for that. the devil dont create periode. he came to steal kill and distroy. yea the devil uses music for his evil will. just like god uses music for his will too. i dont get it when people say hiphop is evil,as if the devil created hip hop. no peoples motives are evil and wghat they put in the song there lyrical content could be against god. but noone could say the genre hiphop is evil periode.

Nasir Jones for life.
Tupac rest in perfect peace.

Interesting topic. Three years old but its really relevant especially with Jay-Z and his ''empire state of mind'' saying all sorts of nonsense. I made a decision to stop listening to that jackass and his protege kanye. Check out ''empire'' lyrics with special emphasis on the words in bold:

Yeah
Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to Deniro, but I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicano's
Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stashbox, 560 State Strett
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them pastries
Cruisin' down 8th Street, off white Lexus
Drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas
Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say whatup to Ty-Ty, still sippin' mai tai's
Sittin' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five
Nigga I be Spike'd out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from,

New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York,
New York

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game
Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can
You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip though
But I got a gang of Niggas walkin' with my clique though
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rock
Africa Bambata shit, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back
For foreigners it ain't for they act like they forgot how to act
Eight million stories, out there in it naked
City is a pity, half of y'all won't make it
Me, I got a plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"
If Jesus payin' Lebron, I'm payin' Dwayne Wade
Three dice cee-lo, three card molly
Labour Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley
Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade
Long live the Kingdome, I'm from the Empire St. that's

New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York,
New York

Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
So they can step out of bounds quick
The sidelines is, lined with casualties, who sip to life casually
Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple leaf
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style
End of the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out
City of sin, it's a pity on the wind
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien

New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York,
New York

One hand in the air for the big city
Streetlights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty
No place in the world that could compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say "Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, Yeah"

New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York,
New York


To hell with all the talk about metaphors and dual meaning and all that ,rap has become universally accepted and a powerful weapon. If you ask me it isnt evil in itself but its been corrupted. Anyone wondered why only songs about sex,bling, guns and bragging (vanity) are the only ones selling

I love HipHop and it is the love of my life. Hiphop is a culture and a movement : three intergral parts being djing, b-boying and graffiti.  Check out KRS one and Marley Marl's HipHop Lives - speaks my thoughts succintly

Hip and Hop is more than music
Hip is the knowledge
Hop is the movement
Hip and Hop is intelligent movement

Her. Infinite. Power. Helping. Oppressed. People (Hiphop).

But, who can really prove hip hop is evil with a strong theory?

Which theory do you need, Cant you hear what 95% of the rappers rap about? Go and read ur Bible and tell me what it says about such things
People should stop evading and start taking responsibility for what they listen to

almost everytn happening in life is against the doctrines of the bible!!!

if that s y hiphop is evil, then u av no point

@ Tosin

Have you seen this thread Symbolism, Satanism, Illuminati and Mind Control in Music?

"Metaphors" is not a reason to leave your brain in your a, s, s and say oh "Hip Hop". Otherwise if you are on the LEFT, then theres no need to bother you. If you follow Jesus Christ and every thing thats righteous, then put your brain to work and find out whats this whole sh---it is about! what about the videos? Lil wayne's drop the world video aint evil right

People don't believe that all the delightful artists and musicians and celebrities in the world could REALLY be part of secret societies, they think they throw in satanic references, materialistic mind control etc. to make their music 'catchy'.

It's this mentality that keeps us from recognizing how demoniac and materialistic the music industry has become. We can't even admit that outward satanist rock bands are 'really' devil worshipers, in the same sense that people won't admit that rap artists are love-peddlers to the satanic music industry.

"It's all just for money" they say:

Well who the hell runs money? Satanists and the Federal Reserve

We have GOT to wake up.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Jay-Z were illuminati, he's not from the hood anymore, the man is 100% materialism and about his own ego. His darling wife Beyonce Knowles is in the same boat. People give these artists way too much credit without realizing who is pulling their strings.

This stuff is rampant in the music industry, all genres. The labels and CEO's are ALL satanist illuminati.

Why are there so many similarities in signs and symbols among these artistes? in their video and fashion?
Do they have a common guiding force behind their music?

You can carry out more research by knowing who Baphomet is

Then we can start making some big sense
