anybody listen to Christian Rap?

[dgk3188]

i know it may be a shot in the dark....

recently listened to an album by this cat called "Flame"

was bored and decided to give it a spin...i was quite amazed actually...this dude has dope production and isn't that bad of a rapper at all...in facthe's actually quite a talented writer and has got a nice flow.

always thought christian rap would be corny and whatnot but this dude made me curious and i was able to get my hands on other albums by dudes like Lecrae,Phanatik, Braille...they are all pretty dope.

would anybody like to give some suggestions as to who else is nice?

word man. theres this cat "The Tonic" thats part of the cross movement group that is serious. honestly has one of the nicest flows i've heardin a long time. spitting multi's and flowing over the beat like its nothing!!

its refreshing to hear cats doing music with a positive message and praising God

Cross Movement's c.d. 'House of Representatives' is awesome. The song 'Off the Hook' (on House of Representatives) brings me to tears everytime I play it. I just can't believe... He did that.

For me, man...

... like I'm somebody special or something.

A guy I used to always look out for (but then he kind of fell off) was Knowdaverbs. He appeared with grits a lot, and I think he's on like all of theiralbums (mainly because he's a gotee Records guy, and that's grits' recording label).

For me, though, Cross Movement is deep and powerful, and all other Christian rappers are shallow, and more focused on the sound. Cross Movement's lyricsare basically a combination of a sermon, a history lesson, beats, and a song.

My dude is putting me on to some. He was playing someone named "Trip Lee" yesterday and it had really good production.

Simple reason why I'm seldom in here: I can't stand rap music or hip-hop today.

I used to be split right between rap and rock in high school, and I always had a very balanced blend of c.d.s from both genres. Today? It's definitely safeto say that I've given up the rap c.d.s, and it's really all about rock/alternative c.d.s now.

Rap is freaking terrible right now. Like someone already said in this thread (and I COMPLETELY agree with it): a lot of the Christian rappers out are far moretalented than a lot of the secular rappers. Every Christian rapper mentioned in here so far, I would take any of them over any secular rapper with'Lil' or 'Young' in front of his name. Or 'Souljah'.

 

[slayer carcetti]

what exactly defines Christian Rap?

 

[darthska]

^ For me, I'm not one to judge someone else's character. So I'm not going to say 'If they're a Christian, and they're a rap artist,then they're a Christian rapper.'

For me, it's just the content of their lyrics; no more, no less. Heck, if freaking Wu released a song about God and having some life-changing, spiritualexperience, I would personally call that a Christian rap song.

 

[slayer carcetti]

Oh ok makes sense. I thought it meant they didn't curse or something along those lines.

yeah thats why im trying to expand to other things and gave these Christian rappers a try. while there are some rappers out there rapping about real thingsand real issues, most of them are garbage and im sick of hearing about the same thing over and over.
