Holy Hip Hop and the Reformed Resurgence

Rap is an art, a talent, hip hop is a worldly culture. I love DG ministry and DWYL, but let's not attach the word holy to hip hop. This is not legalism, but just how the two are interpreted. For instance I love the song Don't Waste Your Life by Lecrae, but you don't need to act like one of the boyz in a video, that does not glorify God. Let's not let satan use this as a trojan horse, but let us not only glorify God in our words but in our character and conduct. Lose the swagger, look to Jesus.

I disagree... Listening to holy hip hop is just like them preaching to you as a pastor would behind the altar... There is no difference... Yes!!! There are holy hip hop artist who are fake and just want some attention but YOU yourself have to KNOW THE TRUTH and your spirit man (holy ghost) will distinguish that!!! God invented music, hip hop is individual instruments just put together, ppl blaming hip hop, hip hop is just the beat!! Its all about the lifestyle of the person behind the beat =)

the message, lyrics holy hip hop preaches is good

but that gangster culture coming with it should be thrown away

yes!!! Alot of holy hip hop artists still wearing gold grillz and riding fixed cars... Thats not of God... He want us to be set apart.. We gotta be different.. and there will be a difference!!! =) Even though they may have changed; they appearance is still of the world... When God change you... EVERYTHING CHANGES... Not just a few things!! Yo clothes still can be urban just have ask God how to dress!! =)

exactly!

@tlagasi7 I like what you said. You are absolutely right on target. Bless your heart.

I am sure this comment was made as I am late to this vid - the problem is not rap, it is the Hip Hop culture. I listened to Lecrae & I definitely liked what I heard. To understand the difference between the art (rap) & the culture (hip hop); you will have to research and listen to what the founders have to say. Or better yet, just listen to what KRS-One and/or Afrika Bambaataa have to say about Hip Hop Culture

Read Mark Chapter 9, Verses 38-41.

does it strike you the same way it strikes me, in regards to "Holy Hip-Hop" and the people who speak against it?

just asking out of curiosity.

that has nothing ta do with holy hip hop... lol True!! there are some "gospel rappers" who are not real... But God WILL expose the ones he formed =)

And they sang a new song, saying:You are worthy to take the scroll,And to open its seals:For You were slain,And You have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,And have made us kings and priests to our God,And "we shall reign on the earth." Revelation 5:9 Yes! Preach Christ the whole counsel of God everywhere..
