How is Christian hip hop exactly bad, I've been listening for more than six years and yet to find any problem with it

If you think true Christian hip hop is bad, you're just an hypocrite. I have many songs on my phone and I can post the lyrics here for you to see. What other better way to get the gospel to the youths than chh?

sacx:
Not all songs that praise or recognise God have their roots in Christianity. For a song to benefit the church, it must flow from the womb of the Spirit, and must be edifying. The letter kills;the Spirit gives life.

So do you think the spirit cannot give life through a message delivered in rap form.

For me, The problem is not the mode of passing the message( as the spirit of God works in different ways), i believe it's about who is sending the message.

Though a rap message might not strike a note to you, it definitely does to someone in an urban ( black) community. Though you might not flow with it, the spirit can use these rap songs to Minister to someone who's always loved to listen to rap.
Christian rap might not be for you, but its definitely for someone else. So don't totally condemn it.
Personally, I know how much an effect these songs have had invited life.

"Boasting"
(feat. Anthony Evans)

[Chorus:]
If this life has anything to gain at all
I'll count it loss if I can't hear you, feel you, 'cause I need you.
Can't walk this earth alone.
I recognize I'm not my own, so before I fall
I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone.

[Verse 1:]
With every breath I take, with every heart beat,
Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street.
Every glance, every dance, every note of a song.
It's all a gift undeserved that I shouldn't have known.
Every day that I lie, every moment I covet
I'm deserving to die, I'm just earning your judgment.
I, without the cross there's only condemnation.
If Jesus wasn't executed there's no celebration.
So in times that are good, in times that are bad
For any times that I've had it all I will be glad.
And I will boast in the cross. I'll boast in my pains.
I will boast in the sunshine, boast in his reign.
What's my life if it's not praising you?
Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit.
I do not count my life as any value or precious at all.
Let me finish my race, let me answer my call.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Tomorrow's never promised, but it is we swear.
Think we holding our own, just a fist full of air.
God has never been obligated to give us life.
If we fought for our rights, we'd be in hell tonight.
Mere sinners owed nothing but a fierce hand.
We never loved him, we pushed away his pierced hands.
I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy.
Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty.
Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?
Patiently you turned my heart away from selfishness.
I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery.
I know the Spirit's purging me of everything that's hurting me.
Remove the veil from my darkened eyes.
So now every morning I open your word and see the Son rise.
I hope in nothin, boast in nothin, only in your suffering.
I live to show your glory, dying to tell your story.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Glory was solely meant for you.
Doing what no one else could do.
With All I have to give, (With all I have to Give)
I'll use my life, I'll use my lips. (My Lips Yeaaah)
I'll only glory in your Word. What gift to me I don't deserve.
I'll live in such a way that it reflects to you, my Praise.

This is the lyrics of Lecrae's Boasting. Now tell me what's bad about this.
Infact, you could as well tell me Tye Tribbet is not a Christian singer since his songs are high pitched, fast paced and sound like rock music.

That wasn't my point.

I follow every artist you listed except for flame, I don't have his songs but I know him.

Do you know jered Sanders?, He's part of bizzle's label. The guy is on Andy's level lyrically. Canon is a speed demon, his first track I listened to was "go off"

am finding it hard to download canon songs
what website do u use?
the only canon rap have listened to is the one where andy mineo featured him and others " paganini

and i dont know jered sanders

trip lee songs are more of the types that sends you a message or tells you a story

that why i find it easy to believe that trip lee is now a pastor and have listened to him preach before sef

I'm on a chh group where you can get links for songs from different artists, some are also posted on the WhatsApp page. I can send the link if you'd like to join

hmm i would have love to join but am not with my whatsapp enabled phone right but you can still post the group link or better still i can create another thread where people who listen to christian comtemporary songs cam post the download link of their favourite songs or as requested by others

the group can be either in the music section or religion section or what do you think?

Why do we sing in church then, music is broad and has different genres, hip-hop is a genre of music. Simple

Really? And why do you have to rap or do hip hop to preach a Gospel?
Because you want to appeal to emotions.
No wonder, those that were brought into the church through *Christian* hip hop are false converts...

Other forms of Christian music must be false then since they have similarities with secular music. Why do we use drums or the keyboard in a church if it's used in secular music then?. Lecrae has gone on several missionary tours, dude has preached in prisons and schools

Church, are we family or are we strangers?
Listen, there’s no love without labor
And if there’s no love, then we’re in danger

[Chorus]
There's a Heaven and we all wanna go
Does anybody wanna fall on the sword
Take my hand, I just want you to know
Healing begins when you call on the Lord

[Verse 2]
I remember Dr. King say he gon stick with love
He said that in spite of everyone he suspicious of
Yo, that’s the part that make me wonder
Like Jesus saw his enemies before they left him bleeding on some lumber


How is this worldly please

Yea that why he hoped or wanted to feature Kendrick Lamar (another So-called Christian rapper)

Porn is a type of movie, since we both know that porn ain't good. Does that mean that other types of movie are likewise perverted?

beg the MODs to move to music section for you

N.F is something else, therapy session and perception are two wonderful albums. that guy is gifted, he jumps on a trap beat and gives you meaningful lyrics that you can relate with.

I swear bro, dudes music impacted a lot .

I used to be among those that are against gospel hiphop not until I took a step closer and I discovered what a veritable tool it is. in fact as a youth, no genre of gospel music hits u rightly like gospel rap. I have met a number of people who have been saved through this. if u have never listened to any, please don't be quick to condemn.

Da Truth. US
lecrae. US
Jahaziel. UK
Spokesman Nigerian.
Bouqui. Nigerian

the music of the above artists but to mention a few are among what has kept me going in faith during trying times.

Back then in school (ABU), gospel rap was the bomb. Any concert without gospel emcees to me then was a no no.
funny enough, many of those gospel rappers are better than the contemporary rappers we listen to.

if u wan catch monkey, u better learn to act like 1.

wow an Andy Mineo lover. Dat guys lyrics guides my life. "Superhuman" one of my best in the Heroes for sale album. Have u listened to the whole album? What about "Uncomfortable" album
