Christian rap

[PhantomTorment]

Toby Mac is awesome, and Pillar rapped in their Fireproof CD.

ok her are some things that are wrong with mainstream secular rap/hip-hop. one thing is that once some underground rapper comes out of the underground scene they come up with something artsy innovative and original andhe breaks out of the underground and it takes the mainstream world by storm. and everybody starts copying that creative style and trying to sound like that person. and so then you here maybe ten of the same songs every hour on the radio. now dont get me wrong there are some very talented original rappers out there that can really blow, but theres always somebody whos gonna copy it and water it down to where its radio friendly. so i think what people are missing is the "true" art form in hip hop because a lot of mainstream music period is missing the enthusiasim and energy that the underground provides. thats why radio is so repetitive.

[thewinterofourdiscontent]

pretty much all of the rap that i've heard from the christian music industry has been sub-par. both in terms of production and delivery. it's probably the worst type of music to blatantly preach with, it just doesn't sound right (though i'm not much for preachy lyrics in general).

 

[soda]

ok. I've only read the first few pages from this threat, and I don't have any clue about rap. but...

aren't there some rap songs on older dc talk albums?
and isn't toby mac more hiphop than rap?

just my 2 cents... or should I say 50 cents?

 

[SlowRoasted]

toby mac is all over the place, he has rap, rock, r&b. momentum was an awesome cd. I like his most recent one too, but not quite as much as momentum.

 

[Vinylium]

Toby Mac is a bit too contemporary for me to be considered good. Great stuff while they were DC Talk.

Some of T-Bone is good also. His style gets a little too high pitched sometime.

KJ-52 I have yet to find a really good song. I do enjoy his em impersination.

heh. I'm all for the Grapetree rap though. pretty cool stuff there.

 

[Lathe]

I'm pretty sure those lyric on Kanye West's slow jams were sang by... uh, R. Kelly or someone else...

Also, Nas's album, "Nasir Jones" has amazing beats and has a lot of religious metaphors for some reason...

Anyone hear of the Christian rap group Gospel Gangsta's ??

[plastinationchild]

Yeah, personally Im not a fan of the gospel blended with the rap. Heres some of my favorite Christian rap:

KJ-52
John Reuben
(Knowda)Verbs
Mr. Del
Bloodlinez is a good dirty-south compilation album
Sackcloth Fashion
T-Bone (not, really)
Mars Ill
Tunnel Rats
all the other Uprok and Gotee family.

A group called Apologetix has parodied Eminem's raps: Slim Shady (The Real Sin Savior) and Lose Yourself (Look Yourself).
