  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I know normally rap music is degrating to the uttermost part of our society but it is also a beautiful form of poetry. I used to only listen to whats on the radio but me being 19 i've heard it from the begining and the decline in the message is horrible. But something thats not on the air is Christian Rap i only get it online or at stores. Mase is a rapper that used to be "dead" but then got saved and his message in the rap game now is for the children so that they could have something good to listen to. If any oen wants to try some new music i recomend this CD its called Mase: Welcome Back. God Bless

Eh, Toby Mac does a great job of mixing elements like rap and rock. He even uses old James Taylor songs as background to his rap.

Not to mention LA Symphony or Grits. Both are very talented.

Do I prefer to listen to rap? Nope, I put it in the same category as opera. But I can see the musical merit.

Rap is not the absence of musical content. Many times it's the absence of melody but there is always a beat. To say that rap isn't music is to dog on every percussionist out there. It implies that rhythym doesn't matter.

Take out the lyrics, get rid of the vocals altogether and I bet most of you would have your foot tapping by the third measure.

I like rap, along with just about every other music style out there. I only listen to the Christian stuff though. Secular rap has really given all rap a bad name, but as far as the music itself goes, I can't say it's any better or worse than any other style. I really enjoy KJ-52, Knowdaverbs, Toby Mac, and Grits.

I would be doing more than foot tapping, I would be dancing in a non-sexual way. Err, uh is that even really possible with rap any more.

Oh...I can't stand a lot of "gangsta" stuff...most of the "black rap," I am not into. [Some is ok...and no I am not racist!] I just love the voice of most white rappers. I really don't get it...most people don't like white rappers, but that's my big thing in rap...!??!?!

Anyway, Christian rap is very kewl!

Afer all the different styles of music that have been thought of....rock, hard rock, metal, punk, etc.....we wondered, what could possibly be next? Then someone decided, hey, we'll just stop making music altogether. And thus, rap was born.

Wow...such hate...
We must remember that people are being blessed by this thing that you call "not music"...
Rhythm and Poetry all the way!!!!!!!!!

No hate. Sarcasm maybe but not hate.
I know this guy, and he isn't about spreading hate. He has his opinion and you have yours. Yes, there's rhythm, yes it can be poetic. But face it: not all rap is good listening

What the heck.....I am surprised to see that comment on a Christian message board. How does one distinguish "black rap and white rap"?
I did not know vocal chords could be seperated by race
Can I get an Amen?

Everyone has an opinion...
That is an understatement...
One would be foolish to think that all rap is good to listen too...
That was not the point though....
You can not make a generalization about one type of music, without making a generalization about music as a whole...
Music was created to Glorify our God...
It was Satan who came in and distorted this truth..he is the Great imitator..
Rap should Glorify our God...just like rock, hip-hop R&P, punk, country, etc...
