He looks like a walking shadow

[triangleseverywhere]

sakils2 said it above- this vid was made on a shoestring budget, but it works, and I likes it! Dig.

[TheSpiritualife]

@dgkpictures its called unity

[dgkpictures]

If they are from the West Coast, then why the f*ck are they using East Coast beats?

[Omagus]

@dgkpictures You need to familiarize yourself with the sound of the West Coast underground.

[sekure808]

Can you post the songs "Crush (Ed)" and "You" from this album? those two were dope. If you can dude that would be great. Thanks

[SkateRHCP]

I'm new to LA Symph. but i like it, the first guy sounds like the guy from AESOP Rock

[karateporkchop]

2:52 that dance move was made illegal in bboy comps back in 93..WAY to deadly!

[PROSPROSMILKSHI]

Song ain't half bad, but the video fucking sucks. Why, other than the first guy, do they all look like they're wearing costumes of nerds trying to dress street? (Other than that the video is actually pretty cool, but come on.)

[josiah1218]

i have to say in your first point you say the video sucks then in your last you say its pretty cool.

[Pazas]

Where did I say the video was pretty cool?

[josiah1218]

(Other than that the video is actually pretty cool, but come on.)

[Pazas]

Yeah. The costumes are bad enough that they make the video as a whole suck. The rest of the video, (ie other than that) is good enough that without the costumes I'd enjoy it, but the costumes sink it.

[Greguitar94]

they came to my school....... in ireland....!!

[Rawk4Life]

I see someone gave me thumbs down for my last comment, probably because they didn't want to hear the truth. That's typical for someone who thinks Christian hip-hop needs to be all preachy Jesus this/Jesus that 24/7

[Pazas]

The term Christian Hip-Hop has that connotation. Gennerally speaking, simply referencing your religion in a song doesn't earn a special term, since it's part of the artists emotional make up, but when you make music specifically aimed at/about/against or for a specific religion, it gets that religion tacked onto the title. At least that's how it is stateside. Being that this is an international site it might not be that way in your home town.

[Rawk4Life]

The thing is that just because L.A. Symphony have all Christian members doesn't mean every song of theirs has to push the "Jesus" issue. The fact that their songs contain morals and clean lyrics should more than prove that they aren't trying to be like most secular rappers out today.

[Pazas]

That was my point. When I hear people reference Christian Hip-Hop it brings to mind preachy Jesus Jesus outright attempts at conversion. But if you're just a group of Christians who happen to use clean lyrics then you're... just a group of Christians who happen to use clean lyrics. Some people would say conscious Hip-Hop since they clearly are aware of the issue of questionable content in most contemporary rap, but I'd say it's just straight up Hip-Hop, maybe with a "Clean" sticker on the Case.

[Pazas]

Making them conscious rappers who happen to be Christian. The term Christian rap already has a preachy direct attempt at conversion connotation in colloquial use. At least it does hear in the U.S. If people use it to mean something else wherever you are than I stand corrected.

[saftlade]

L.A. Symph 'til I'm dead!!

[ladj]

i know these guys from paramount, an NOOO! they aren't preaching WTF, who started this shit rumor?

Real Hip Hop is about life, religion is a part of life and mentioned, nothing more!

PEACE!

[civil15]

I think this mix-up of calling LAS Christian Rappers is due to the fact they respect their belief enough not to write lyrics contradictory to their bibles.

I personally believe that a Christian rapper is someone who raps as a ministry tool such as "The Cross Movement".

If Lupe Fiasco made a little bit more refence to Allah in his songs, knowing he's muslim, I'm sure folks would assume he's trying to force his belief on you. That type of mentality makes you categorize and suffocate music.

[TheStandardOilBandit]

@civil15 i agree, if they were rapping about their faith then i would consider them Christian rappers. But they dont really say much about it at all in their music. I would label it Secular.

[BritishLadyTea]

i know them too...much love & respect...they keep it real w/a mission. out...

[SbfunkTV]

Ooh sh%@t.. classic stuff with PJ running through the streets and all. Very pharcydish

[sourpuss909]

Pure Hip-Hop!!!

[Bcuz1192]

It's really obvious that this is a small budget viedoclip. I really like the track, but the clip is kinda boring (except PJ at the end, hilarious!)

[sakils2]

Real Hip-Hop song doesn't need 2 million budget videoclip... :)

[macShen]

@sakils2 WORD

[thedexterbros]

@sakils2 lol most hip hop video's don't have a 2 million dollar budget, Akon's I'm So Paid had a 1 million dollar budget and that was considered crazy expensive. Nothin' wrong with spending money if you have it, or you want some CGI or boats in your video

[sakils2]

@thedexterbros You clearly failed to understand my point...

[thedexterbros]

@sakils2 Then elaborate for me

[sakils2]

@thedexterbros 2 million budget for a videoclip was an example, not a statement.

[RukussMC]

@sakils2 It doesn't want one either!

[stupidhead5]

dude i just started thinkin the video was boring until C'in Johnny bust out the ghetto kid dance at the end

[lulufifi]

brilliant i saw them live!

[MisterDalton]

The beat to Umbrella sounds very alike to this. Someone owes L.A. Symphony some money . . .

[Bcuz1192]

Naw, Umbrella's beat is more drum based than this one.

[djunclemilo]

[ABQ07]

An exceptional video from THE hip hop group spreading the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ

[ninja228]

just because they are spreading a positive message doesn't mean that they "are spreading the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ."

[Rawk4Life]

Peep a listen to their album "Disappear Here," they are very much spreading the Gospel of Christ, you just aren't paying much attention to their lyrics.

[Bcuz1192]

I never really hear them spreading the gospel. In which songs do they do that?

[Rawk4Life]

If you need someone to literally point out to you which songs have L.A. Symphony spreading the Gospel, then you must be listening to them for the beats and music, not the message.

[Pazas]

Or maybe he considers Spreading the Gospel, to mean an outright attempt at conversion, which is more often how I hear it used these days.

[Bcuz1192]

I now know they do spread it, i didn't know that when i posted that comment. Thanks for the advice!

[Pazas]

Actually they don't have any sort of mission of conversion or aim to do so. They simply make music, and are religious enough that there religion makes it into there work.

[Neorpheus]

It's bTwizzle!
