Christian Rock.. rappers need to make a christian cd, about coming up thru their hard times(grindin hustlin sellin drugs), not to preachy , be positive throw god in there a few times over the course of the whole cd and bammmm
sell the slogan = you wouldnt steal from a fellow christian would you ? = $$$$
example = crooked i, chamillionaire, ja rule, nas, kanye,scarface all have songs that you could tag and be christian rap
maybe a way to cure the joke of the rap division of the music industry that wont ever be making a comeback (remember madd ppl talented ppl lost there jobs it trickled down from the Label staff to the Music Makers-- Engineers, Producers to the rappers)

I'm pretty sure somewhere in the Bible, it's a sin to download CD's. No wonder their still selling!

The closest thing to Christian Rap that would sell major numbers is what Kirk Franklin did when he first dropped. He still sells, but I don't like most of his newer music...it sounds TOO watered down and too much like R&B and Rap. His 90's music was amazing because it had the soul, funk, and feel of real gospel...but had that rap attitude and used many rap references.
