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)

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.
