i like the message behind it but the message gets too repetitive and half of the rappers are kinda corny to me

Theres this hardcore Christian group called "The Gospel Gangstas" or some shit like that...

[Top-Dogg2001]

I don't get down with it. Its cool that they are trying to put out positive messages but the artist have no skill what so ever. They try to be hard. My radiostation plays it every sunday. Some of them sound like they steal there style from biggie and pac and just flip it to make it religious.

Me neither...I dont listen to that shit..

[Sikotic™]

Check out T-Bone. He got some skill. I ain't into Christian rap either. If their was a Christian rapper with skill I would listen to them.

But seriously check T-Bone and tell me whatcha think.

T-Bone steaks are good...

[NobodyButMe]

i heard some of t-bones stuff, back in the day, he was on mtv's the cut, and krs one gave him a  7 out of 10 "cuz that's god's number" and he lost the cut cuz of krs's 7. he was real tight on that show.... on the other end though, somebody has got to pick up some cross movement songs offa audiogalaxy.com, i'm tellin you, this one guy, called tha phanatik, has got skill, a good song to get: "cypha tha next day", "house of representatives" and "i am that i am". i'll put them on my computer right now so ya'll can download them offa audiogalaxy.com or morpheus and tell me what ya think

It really upseted me that in this months issue of the Source they do a whole article devoted to the emergence of Christian hip-hop.  It even says, although hip-hop has been more closely associated with Islam, Christian hip-hop is on the rise.  And they do a whole article on Christian hip-hop, with only two sentences mentioning Islam.  If Islam is so popular in hip-hop, then how come we've never gotten one article in the Source that I can recall.  That just isn't fair, they're are plenty of popular Muslim artists out there.  Or artists influenced by Islam.

Speakin of The Cut, KRS-1 pissed me off on that show. I remember it was down to theis one women who had the really strange but good voice and some woman with a guy. He made the woman with the wierd voice lose and let the other group won. Then supposedly gave them a contract. The woman shoulda won cause she was unique.

2Pac (wanted to convert before his death)

Jews I know of:
Blood of abraham (Eazy's group)
Beastie Boys
Shabakk


I'm sure theres more, I'm just forgetting...

[Sikotic™]

Outkast are? I never knew that. Most southern peeps claim to be Christian.

[infinite59]

to add to your list Now I Know
Muslim Rappers-
Rakim
Mos Def
Saffir
Soul Scientific

Those I'm sure of, these artists I think are as well-
Talib Kweli
E-swift
Xzibit was spittin alot of Islamic references in 40 Days and 40 Nights

And Now-I-Know what's with this talk about 2pac being a Muslim?

[Sikotic™]

Yeah, Pac was gonna become Muslim. Thats why he made Blasphemy where he was questioning God. He was on some soul searching around the time he died.
