Believe it or not, its all true, theres alot more on the videos he has, I watched some last night. Russel Simmons praises the goddess Kali, I think it is, and she like rules over these guys who would come into houses or w/e and kill everyone that was worshipping some god or something like that, and they would steal all their jewelry, and then they'd leave so they would hide all the jewels on their body and stuff them in their mouth and theres a picture of one of those guys, who they started calling "thugs", and so now you have the modern day version of grills. It surprised me how much evil stuff is in some of the lyrics. And this pastor is black and was saying, "Brothers don't like that heavy metal and the devil and stuff", and that is true, and then he was saying, "How are they putting this stuff in rap and people listening to it". He's not generally talking about the rappers who talk about killing, rape, etc, not thats good, but he is mainly focusing on the religion aspect and what the rappers rap about as far as religion, which you may not think they do very often, but they do it soooo much. Look up the 5% religion, alot of rappers believe in that.

I'm a big fan of hiphop and have always been, I'm not going to stop listening probably for awhile, but about it being evil is all true. Go to youtube and type in ex ministries, i think thats what it is. Anyways, it's pretty interesting and the guy talks about the devil, and how he has been using music to "recruit" followers, since the day he was kicked out of hell. You see, if you read the bible, it says that God created "musical instruments" in the devil to allow him to use music. Little did he know he was going to use it for evil. Yeah, it seem far fetched, and if you're one that doesn't believe in the bible, then don't read this and don't reply to this because you all say the same thing, "bible isn't real, some guy just wrote it, blah blah blah", I'm not gonna listen to it and nothing you say will change my mind. Anyways, back to the subject at hand, the devil has been using his music forever. I'm not saying all music is evil by the way. But it started with Elvis, like how he pops his collar, ? He studied about wizards, and this one wizard had sideburns and would do a similar thing to "popping the collar" with whatever wardrobe he was wearing. And even some of Elvis' band members have said that Elvis did some things that weren't normal. And now look, they have churches that worship Elvis, on his birthday people go to Graceland and worship him. The devil made his way up the ladder to heavy metal. Crazy heavy metal bands cutting themselves and bleeding in concerts, 666 sprawled over everything they did, but the devil got smart. People eventually began to look at heavy metal and figured out it was bleeped up, so the devil wasn't very pleased. Then he made his way to hip-hop. Hip-hop was first invented by Afrika Bombota or something weird like that. He studied it, and it's a bunch of weird stuff I can't even remember, something about Pharaohs and stuff. Well music and subliminal messages work like this. Your left part of your brain is like a door, well with music and other subliminal messages, the door is left open and that stuff goes right in without stopping, to the right part of your brain. Hip-hop has good beats, so that's how it works it way in. So, let's give some examples. Jay-Z comes himself "Hova the God", take Ja from Jay, you get Jahova the god, e and yes, in one of his songs, if you play it backwards Jay-Z can be heard saying, "murder jesus" and "666", another one is Ja Rule, who has two crosses on his back, and that has something to do with it, I can't remember everything from the video but watch it. Other people include Alisha Keyes, Indi Arie, Bone Thugs, Snoop Dogg, was actually shot in Long Beach, and in the hospital bed, he said a crow flew in, turned into Jesus, and stood before him with his arms out, and then turned into Satan and told Snoop he would make him famous, rich, etc if he sold his soul, thats not made up, Snoop Dogg actually has a book that he wrote about that, list goes on, and I could go on, like about the word "thug", and what thugs really where, but watch the video. Yes, I'm a Christian, yes I listen to hip-hop, no I'm not evil. I'm not trying to be push my religion on anyone, as I know how irritating it can be, but whether or not if I was a Christian, this stuff is interesting.
