In recent years, Kanye West has been the target of criticism due to his bipolar disorder. Many remember his delusional rants at a Los Angeles concert in 2016 that sent him straight to the hospital. Others recall controversial statements made during his 2020 presidential campaign. The media never ceases to cite manic episodes in both his public and private lives. Sadly, many Christians are often the attackers of the celebrity and execute harsh judgments against him. They look to his crazed actions as justification for slander and gossip within church communities. Some even call this kind of backstabbing holy and […]
Being a musician has become far more complicated since it has been industrialized. There has always been a spectrum of those who purely create art expressing themselves through music (artists) and those who simply endeavor to use their musical talents to shock and amaze (entertainers). Historically, it would seem as though there’s always been a fine line between the two because through different time periods the demand and appreciation for “art” has evolved. If you think about the evolution of music as a genre: it began as fine art (let’s begin with classical musicians), then the next big wave was […]

Think of some of the biggest cosigns in hip-hop history: Jay Z to Kanye, Dr. Dre to Eminem then Em to 50 Cent, Lil Wayne to Drake, and so on. It is a well-known fact, that in the hip hop world, notoriety comes by means of succession or more commonly put, “You need a cosign.” This has been a trend in society since the beginning of time….the Bible even gives credence to many individuals based on who they are connected to. The understanding is that connection breeds consistency and if you are cut from the same cloth, the expectation is […]
One of my fondest memories of being a kid was waking up to the smell of coffee as my grandfather read his Bible and prayed every morning. Somehow, despite him being my hero, I didn’t pick up on his love for coffee. However, many in Christian rap have! In fact, some have gone as far as to create, brand, and market their own coffee. Here are just a few. Propaganda – Terraform Propaganda has a love affair with coffee. For him, his day is filled with bars and brews. He has a special place on his website dedicated to informing […]
Over the summer Dee-1 joined us on Community During Chaos to talk about his at the time upcoming track “Racist Christians.” He knew the song would be controversial but in reality, the song had a simple, yet important message. “Amidst talks of racial tension, ‘Racist Christians’, it’s time someone made a song that says it’s a complete contradiction to be a racist and a Christian. We have a long history in the church of blatant examples of racism and people feeling like it’s separate.” He continued, “I have never experienced racism in the church.” But he added the caveat of, […]
Lecrae was a guest on Community During Chaos and one of the final questions he was asked was, “What would you want your legacy to be?” and “After God says, ‘Well done my good and faithful servant’ what would you want the next line to be?” “I had a moment a couple of years ago where I just broke down…looking through scriptures after Peter had denied Jesus and then went back to fishing and he was cooking. Jesus came to him and said, ‘feed my sheep’.” He continued, “That’s what I want to know. Obviously, it’s well done [good and […]
