EX Ministries: Christian/Holy Hip hop's Identity Crisis?!

[HighSummonerBWM]

*Hits 0:45* ... ... Swagga Like Hot? XD That is what it sounds like to me at first :/ Sorry. I have not listen to hip hop in years. Uh... I better turn this off now before my body vants to go dancing.

[ironmike024]

Expose them all!!! It sickens me to see what we have become; this is what happens when we fail to draw the line and let this garbage come in. We're having the same problem in Trinidad where we're merging Dancehall and Soca music with Gospel. It's sad to see that we rather be relevant than Holy. Continue to do what you're doing and may God richly bless you.

[brooklynchild66]

That church Gay Kirk franklin was in It's easy to see norone working in the holy ghost dancing around to satanic music

[musicamw23]

0:43 my jaw fell to the ground. SMH! God bless and direct them, and send someone to rebuke them!

[A2P86]

These gospel artists are destroying us! God will hold them accountable!!!! Thankyou for your upload! God bless you x

[PurK1Fry]

What did DMX said ? I didnt get it all.

[KLocStar135]

I don't see anything wrong with this type of movement, I wish there was something like this going on when i was younger in the church my family went to church everyday except Saturday's and I hated it HATED IT! vowed when i got older i was leaving church and never going back, soon as i hit 18yrs old I left church started using drugs,sex, clubs, drinking anythinkg i could do

[TheYouthInChrist]

"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.Matthew 24:5...Holiness and worldliness are two different things they don't mix...Come out from among them and be ye separated says the LORD 2 corinthians 6:17...!Wake up for the coming of the Lord is soon...All of these deceivers are misleading people they are not leading people to Christ.

[mrsemg2009]

All a real worshiper needs is the truth of the gospel and the orchestration of Holy Spirit. Not a rhyme, rhythm, lyric, or melody. The focus of our worship must be light not sound.

[LovelyVontrail]

Lord when you save me, I wanna be truly saved & fill me with the Holy Ghost and give me the spirit of discernment...I wanna learn to hate sin & love the things that you mind. I don't wanna live one foot in the world & the other in the church, I rather be souled out for you! Can't believe they have that mess in the church....very disrespectful to God. This video is truly an eye-opener...no longer wanna be lost & lukewarm #LordSaveThisGeneration

[sacredsinger]

are you kidding me?? what ever happened to 'ole fashion evangelism?

[sacredsinger]

are you kidding me??

[gadget00]

I like christian rap music, but what Kirk Franklin did I just couldn't believe it...I believe Hip Hop now is walking the path Rock music walked 30 years ago, by exposing what Satan is doing and his plans the same way his plans with rock music where exposed back then. What do you think?

[royalescorpio]

Holy Hip-Hop...No way...what's next holy pornography???

[LovelyVontrail]

@royalescorpio I know right!!! it's so sickening smh

[JaguarLexusCentral]

Since when is hip-hop not associated with things like anti-christianity & satanic worship? Aside from Christian-related hip-hop & rap (which is a very small minority in the hip-hop world), hip-hop can at times be very much related to glorifying pimp & gang life, disrespecting women, & even drug use & violence. 

[BroRoderick1]

WTH!! I'm a loyal Holy Hip Hop artist and this is way out of line. Before I addressed the Holy Hip Hop genre, after becoming saved, I given up rapping about anything for a year taking the time to know God and His Divine Purpose. With 18 yrs experience (4 years Christian Rap) some would think why am I not signed by now. This is more than music! God commanded me to use my gift as service of worship and glory for His name sake. Where is the worship and glory in this video? Smh #Prayers

[Ehmcee2010]

How do you think GOD feels when His people do this in HIS sanctuary?? Why do they think its ok for this to happen? Im just disappointed..this is total disrespect to the MOST HIGH...tis a SHAME!

[RizNJ]

So sad. 

[goon0001]

smh

[goon0001]

SHAME! Mixture of the sacred and the profane! Kirk franklyn and mary mary should be ashamed,Lecrae too! This video vexed my spirit so bad!

[ApostleBlair]

Sad

[chuckyoo]

so sad that many will continue to refuse to seperate the two. SMH, anyways, am looking forward for TBHH 7 in January.

[kpp1278]

When is TTBHH 7# Available

[PRDirector1]

Just a reminder: After all these years you should know we don't entertain foolish, ignorant and ridiculous comments. In less than 2 seconds we will deleted and block what took you every bit of 6 minutes to write. So please, don't waste your time. The voice of foolishness will not be seen here at PRDirector1.

[TheDaughtersofChrist]

If you want to do this; why not just go to a club?

[level70steve]

If we can end Disco, then what is it going to take to end Hip Hop?!!!

##L70

[etelehs]

WOW thanks for sharing.

[iloveusomuchjesus]

Love not the world.... we can't serve two masters!

[PRDirector1]

[euniqua74]

0:47 Is the preacher REALLY just standing up there condoning the foolishness???? If I was up in THAT church at that time, I woulda done the line from The Color Purple---"Time to go!" All hell broke loose up in there and the church lady at 1:01 is visibly PISSED!!! Incredible!!!

[takitheterrible]

LOL @ some of these videos used by these artists, especially Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin. I don't even agree with Ex-Ministries (I'm a big fan of Shad, a rapper and Christian, but not a Christian rapper), but it's getting harder and harder not to when I saw LL Cool J rapping with money falling down at the GOSPEL awards.

[faithwithfaith]

you cant something that is worldly and cover it up with some praise and think its holy....theres not holy about the world.....God is a God of creativity so you dont have to remake, repolish, or redirect music to make it Godly...

[kevinyankee2]

Professor Griff. Very wise statements. Very wise.

3:40

Smartest way to put how christians try to look like the world to try to "reach the youth".

Glory to God.

[malikzzzzz]

I would have liked to attend the common sense burial and mourning...but I was out, trying to find logic.

[tkquel]

i was never sold on holy hip hop. i was raised to not be a hypocrite. i thought being a christian meant being christ like. i've never read where jesus was rapping talking about let the children come, he drew young and old by being holy! he was set apart from the world, so if its something the world can "bump" to, it cant be right.

[kevinyankee2]

We see that a secular rapper knows how to respect God's house.

And we have ministers that allow secular music in the temple... unreal eh?

[mymanlovesme1]

And then we wonder why Yah threw the people out of the temple...Its not like these things should be a surprise to the watching God told us that lawlessness will abound and the wheat and the tares must grow together until the time of harvest.. Live your life according to the principles of the" Great I am" stop stressing about these people everyone not right will condemn himself, Only Yah know the true believers..He said woe be onto the Shepard on the day of judgement who lead the sheep astray.

[CrysLinn]

~*The secular rapper in the video had enough sense to know that it is DISRESPECT to bring hip hop in the church! These holy hip hoppers are just trying to be like the world, but want to throw Jesus and GOD in the mix to look legit.*~

[euniqua74]

@CrysLinn Lovely comment!! I said the exact same thing when I heard him on here. I would have simply "liked" your comment but I cannot find the "like" button here. God Bless!

[metoou314]

SMH @DMX don't eat nuthin that brotha tryin to feed u! Thought it was chicken but its gospel??? No gospel is gospel doesn't have to look like anything else but the gospel. We complicate the message of salvation with all this mess! Abba don't need no help He said He draws who He wants. The only way to salvation is if the Father draws. We can't draw anyone unless Abba first draws them to Jesus. Last days!

[shadetx713]

Stupidity the "NEW COMMON SENSE"

[reformationnetwork]

This is awesome! You even encouraged me to complete my vids...lol Check them out! I remember when I was caught up in the hip hop culture. God literarily spoke through a brother at Def Jam records and told him that he doesn't know why but something was different about me and that I needed to go back home. In my heart I knew it was the Spirit of God. I was so upset...lol I'm thinking, "what am I going to tell everyone." But, little did I know that God would speak through my changed lifestyle.

[TheMjamaa]

I've seen Proff. Griff other videos and it seems the brother knows and gets what is going on with the anti-christ spirit in the world but the only problem is he denounces Christ as well. I hope the brother comes to get to know the Lord, then will he be fully awakened and he could be exposing with the Holy Spirit and not on his own wisdom.

[joeclark4eva]

You know.... If you get to know Jesus Christ personally not just knowledge wise, you would see that he really is meek and lowly. Almost shy like. None of this exhibits his character nor his spirit. I used to feel like everyone else about hiphop or rap until I challenged myself to seek the heart of God. I had to put all music down and he never let me pick it up again. This culture is about self glorification, never about God glorification.

[iamaksd]

They are playing "Poison" by New Edition! Good grief!!! SMH

[Major2219]

What???? In church?? "Christians" done lost there minds!!!!!

[militantprince09]

Thought number two: You want to turn the club into the church? You should be prepared to deal with the consequences. From my days in the world and what I remember of the club... I remember, free sex... drugs... liquor... fights... gangs... cussing... and yes the inevitable gun shot here and there. I never remember deliverance... salvation... baptism... Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues... demons cast out... etc. THANK GOD I'VE BEEN DELIVERED AND I WONT GO BACK!!!!

[militantprince09]

Honestly like a whole swarm of thoughts began swimming in my head when I saw the "Swagga Like Us" clip. The first is, to be real, they did that for probably 3 whole minutes in that church service. I guess to "attract" the "young people"?? So does that now mean that their church (which plays secular music for 3 minutes a Sunday) is now competing with the clubs? Which are "All-Hell-All-the-Time"? How do they intend to do that? Why bother with this fake half club when they can have the real thing?

[rodawnwaun]

Lord Jesus, Come quick....... But there shall come a falling away first, then that man of shall be revealed. HERE IS SOME OF THAT "FALLING AWAY"

[malikzzzzz]

@rodawnwaun The falling away happened when the church split up centuries ago, breaking away from the Catholic church. The man of sin is the Pope. We're in the last days and God is sending a massive delusion...

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

[watchmakeuptips]

PRDirector1, thankyou for your videos. Really appreciate those with TRUTH. Keep it up!

[watchmakeuptips]

'Swagga like us' in Church? REALLY? how pathetic, common now, we as a nation, can't be this unintelligent right. We just can't be -____-

[nytld102]

goodness gracious me... Swagga like us in church, honestly...????

[militantprince09]

I KNOW!! I was in the world when Swagga Like Us came out. Now that I'm Holy Ghost filled I can't believe I just saw the song being played in a church. I literally gave up this kind of music because I knew I couldn't live a HOLY and SET APART life with this filth in my spirit, and it was a LONG struggle. To think I could walk into a church and hear it these days sickens me. I WISH FOLKS WOULD STOP PLAYING CHURCH AND JUST CHOSE A SIDE, GET ON IT, AND STAY ON IT.

[mommaelf2009]

@militantprince09 You are so right about this. I have read all your comments and I agree. When I seen that they were playing that song in the church, and poision and having a dance off, I could not believe what I was seeing. You put this perfectly!

[kevinyankee2]

We see the truth people. Can't be mixing the wordily products with the Holiness of God!

[EvertonBrattray]

Lacrae:

"This is what happens when Hip Hop let the Saints in"

If Hip Hop let the Saints in there would be no Hip Hop

[ttbrown206]

Prof. Griff is the truth!!!

[Blake472]

These ppl are crazy and this isn't funny at all.

[DiixMiikixRoxx]

SMH....SNM Dunno any more. Order has become disorder....

[BIBLEJUNKE]

I was trying to talk to my husband about this and he said he did not see anything wrong it, but it really don't sit right with me because, if i'm not mistaken back in the 70s' they did not bring disco, funk or in the 80s' heavy metal trying to reach the youth I don't think it takes all that. Correct me if I'm wrong God Bless

[thelasthourgetready]

Dmx looked and sounded like he was high

[Chantilicious1]

Even the secular artist said that hiphop doesn't belong in the church it's DISRESPECTFULL .. Oh boy! And to Canton Jones if the person don't want pizza then his not hungry! Keep up the good work EX

[royalescorpio]

@Chantilicious1 I was thinking the same thing!!!

[obiwashere]

this is hard to watch. wow

[deserteagle234]

I hope no one trys to debate! cause you will look mighty foolish after all that!!!!

[PRAYERWARRIORKING]

@deserteagle234 There is nothing new under the sun, Preachers is like a motervational speaker who preach their salvation which is there product. Paul used worldly philospohy tatics to speak to the philospohers of the world at Athens. "Hymms" that the church sings isnt a new melody or concept, because hyms was used in the secular to glorify heroes in da same era; do a study on hyms alone and you will know that. Is their perversion in its uses, YES! When its not direct to the KING, PROPERLY.

[prn72271]

@PRAYERWARRIORKING I would subscribe to you that what we see on this vid was not a norm prior to this age. Also, lets not make it seem as if the early Church was trying to emulate secular culture or that the vast majority of hymns were secularly influenced. What is on this vid is quite troubling, dont you agree?

[deserteagle234]

great work!I help no one trys to debate! cause you would look mighty foolish!

[deserteagle234]

great work!I help no one trys to debate! cause you would look mighty foolish!

[malikzzzzz]

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

[heckto35]

This is mess, this is crap!! I cannot believe these "people of God" would have the nerve! to bring that hip hop crap in the church. These people are in church and supposed to be praising God, and they're turning it into the club! Disgusting!!!

[TLouis01]

Unbelievable! Some folk are just puppets, Satan is pulling all the strings and they think that they are in control, smh just sad....

[ifeanyiboy23]

"I've been to church a couple times. Don't be so shocked put your hands in the air!" woooooooooooooooooooooooow

[72cpugeek]

lol Professor Griff is telling it like it is and he's not saved !

[JustRachaelTV]

when I look at this video, it just make me feel so angry at how the devil has basically shown up in churches. Especially the one with kirk in it. I mean wow if those people will turn away from hip-hop and compromise then they will be lost. It's strange how the secular artist admit that he wouldn't perform in the church.....wow....I would have never though i'd see the day...God help them all!

[Judean777]

SMH 1:07 this due was crippin in church . I got nothing against rap as an art form but hip hop is a dangerous tool.

[72cpugeek]

man i cant hold my peace lol look frame 1:07 clown got Roca wear on dancing infront of the sacrament table no reverence it looks like something that has jumped out of the book of Exodus into 2011. pause it and look to the left the Pastor is grinning like chesser cat ! Frame 1:01 look at the mother in the middle she being sober ! Friends if Jesus would have cracked the sky ....Game Over !

[jfashiongirl87]

This is exactly why the bible says, "Few will find it."

[jfashiongirl87]

Lord...help us

[mowhite213]

I love it..... This is whats needed to be heard throughout the body of Christ, because "holy hip hoppers" dont realize they are try oj ng to serve two masters, and we know what the Lord Jesus said about that, "you can't do it". Hip hop is of a totally different spirit, and not the Holy Spirit. Even the world is saying that.....but the church has become deaf to the Truth.....

[philiptwood]

Type "Prof. Griff: The Psychological Covert War on Hip Hop" in the YouTube search box.

[dycromartie]

People need to seriously WAKE UP!!! This is why the gospel industry is going down the tubes. The merging of secular with gospel don't mix! You can't serve two masters. You will hate one and despise the other. I push this info on Facebook and peeps get mad because they don't understand. People are perishing for the lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6)

[rhythmlb74]

@dycromartie

yeah i posted something similar to this on my facebook page. i posted the video about "sunday's best" when kim b, mary mary, donnie and kirk wanted the constestants to sing love and secular songs. kim b said dont be to spiritual or churchy. cant remember. i got a lot of complaints from people talking its just a competition or you are too serious, etc.

and these people suppose to be christians

[remytay]

Wow thats crazy

[ReliableLojic]

T_T....wow
