I would think the average african american christian should relate to hip-hop at least the songs that speak to our struggles. Whats funny is even christian rap is still rap, meaning preceived by the mass as ungodly, play it in the wrong part of town and cops, old people and the unaware will look at you the same as if it were Jay-Z. Now, dont get me wrong I understand that walk I knew someone like that boy you mention when i was in highschool, He is the reason i can listen to some Gospel now. But hip-hop has saved my life a few times so i cant say its all bad. Songs do move you and I believe in Gospel its about letting Christ in to manifest and i see hip-hop and R&B true hip-hop (not club joints)as a door to the struggles of life. Tell me if you going thru a bad break-up what CD do you reach for the Anthony Hamilton or the Marvin Sapp? Vice Versa if you just getting over lossing someone I going for the Marvin Sapp- " Never Would have made it.."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898212080622216477.post-65686397096637975382010-09-22T07:54:17.174-07:002010-09-22T07:54:17.174-07:00This is beautiful!!

In order for us to have a positive and fulfilling life, we have to surround ourselves with positive people, music, inspirational audios, etc. It's funny, but I did the same thing quite a few years back that you did...maybe we are related...JUST MAYBE...winkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009970875495586941noreply@blogger.com
