Hey guys! I am a very musical person. I write songs and i play instruments. Before i became a minister i was a rapper. I mean i had the swag of Wayne with the depth of Kanye. (Whether you believe or not isn't the point.) I was very lyrical though totally unlike the Soulja Boys and all those other guys. So i feel like my lyricism was a gift from God. My point is, if that is a gift from God then shouldn't i use it? I don't believe that my rapping should ever be played in the church but i do think i can do that and glorify God! Many people are really biased and think all rap is bad but i'm talking an all Christian message! I am thinking about geeting in the booth and putting together a project but it's something really innovative! I want contemporary gospel, Christian lyrical hip hop, and Christian alternative rock all on one CD. That's what i want! All written by me (I can do it trust me). The thing is i'm tired of the bias that if it is rap then it can't be used to praise God. The point of this race is to win as many souls as possible right? Well you can't get everyone the same way! What if i reach a Kanye fan or a Linkin Park fan that would have never otherwise heard the word of God because of man's closed minded view on how to praise God. Don't pretend that gospel music didn't come directly from blues music! Music is about relaying a message, evoking an emotion, and provoking a thought, That's what i wanna do.
