problems with christian hip
hop two so the first episode of this did
really really well I believe it has
about six thousand views now and over a
hundred likes there are a few dislikes
on it but because it did so well and I
thank you guys for that and I know
probably a lot of you came from that
video initially especially you early
subscribers and I wanted to make a
follow up video just to clarify a few
things and some points that I've kind of
refined in a way because If you
watched my was I wrong about reach
records video you guys know I kind of
self reflected on that video and I
believe there were some points that I
didn't do so well on and that I'll try
to do better to explain in this video so
first off I want to say I do not hate
any of these rappers even some of them
In the intro aren't actually who I'm
criticizing and this or that I was in
the initial video or even in the video
playing right now so I just want to make
that clear now obviously some of the
people in the intro i'll talk about but
not all of them I'm implying they're
doing wrong it's just I just use
Christian hip-hop music videos in
general and also the thumbnail with
Jesus with the snap back on that was to
prove a point that I got a lot in the
comment section of my original video
with people saying that collaborations
were okay and they would give me their
reasons and then I'll give them what if
Jesus was a rapper would he collaborate
with any mainstream rapper that you can
think of so I guess biggest one now
Drake would Jesus collaborate with
Drake to get the gospel out and It kind
of made me think because I thought it
and I was like oh, thats interesting because
If Jesus was a rapper I don't think he would
and I
said that and I use that argument
against people who said oh Jesus hung out
with sinners or unbelievers and I'd
use that point and I think there is a
key difference between collaborating and
just hanging out with them and talking
to them I know because of how hip-hop
runs you kind of meet people through
collaborating so it is a bit different I
don't think we need to say oh that just
doesn't matter because that's how
hip-hop works I think if you you end up
compromising you probably shouldn't do
it in the first place so my point with
the collaborations most of you guys know
I'm not for secular collaboration and my
main point is where the Ephesians 5:11
where it says not to have fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness I
saw that in the light that if you're
working a normal job it's for the better of
the community I wouldn't call it a
unfruitful work but I guess secular
music because of all the sex the drugs
you know everything that goes into, I
mean not really mainstream secular more
rep because or rap hip-hop it is
definitely a lot worse maybe rock and
roll but i would say rap is probably the
worst for that kind of stuff to get
people hooked into the likes of lustful
sins pornography whatever you can think
of to do with lust that's pretty heavy
In hip-hop and then that is one of the
main reasons why I'm against it because
for example Lecrae collaborated with ty
dolla sign now a lot of Christians If
their 18 plus probably listened to ty
dolla sign before and then all the
younger people don't really know but
they're like oh this is exciting we
we're collaborating with a mainstream
rapper we are moving up in the world and
I don't think some people realize how
bad some of the songs that he's in and
that people could start listening to
through his music like for example
there's one recently that he
collaborated with nicki minaj and i
believe jason derulo I've not seen him
for a while but he kind of appeared out
of nowhere and could swala or
something
like that and yeah I don't know if you
would want to show any Christian that
but my point is with Ephesians 5:11 I
think you are having fellowship with the
unfruitful works and like that in itself
is bad for me but then also just the
flow-on effect of how this could effect
younger kids maybe it could get them
hooked into something some lustful
Sin for example may be drinking (I don't consider it lustful)
because it's glorified in that and even
though people might say oh you're just
looking through all their past things I
mean you do have to unless they've
dennounced it then I guess you can say
they're still for it and I think that
could be dangerous if you're trying to
live a Christian lifestyle and then that
could get introduced or that could
trigger you whatever's happened during
your life maybe that could trigger you I
don't know into sin now the second one
is kind of just a side issue but people
think that I hate all these christian
rappers I do actually listen to a lot of
their songs still I just don't think what
they're doing right now is good I don't
hate Lecrae I don't have any of the reach
records guys and just because I've been
critical of them doesn't mean that I
don't like them as people now another
misconception that I see a lot in the
comments on the original video is that
people say who are you to judge God is
using these people why are you judging
people the Bible says not to judge and I
actually looked into this and obviously
there's the verses like like 2nd Timothy
4:2 where it says Preach the word be
instant in season out of season reprove
rebuke exhort with all long-suffering
and doctrine now exhort means encourage
so obviously with reprove and rebuke
there's gotta to be a, theres either a
contradiction or your allowed a judge
people in a righteous manner and and not
the way that Jesus was meaning when I
looked this up and the Strong's
Concordance for all you people that
don't know it goes to the root word like
the actual root Hebrew word or Greek or
Aramaic or whatever it was for the
original manuscript well they're called
lexicons I guess
as well but the not to judge one in
regards to the jesus verses had more of a
legal connotation to it so think of it
as in, you're in a court and you're
judging people rather than you're just
judging what someone's doing obviously
you're not sending them to jail anything
in that context people were trying to
get people stoned for going against what
the law said so that's where the
connotation of it being more In a
legal sense comes so i just wanted to
clarify that a bit and yeah that's
pretty much all i wanted to say in this
one just clarify that point i do not
hate any of these guys and i also saw a
lot of people, Oh why dont you just pray for
them this makes Christian hip-hop worse
and if I mean I know this issue has been
brought up a lot but I don't think it's
been really brought up by someone who's
actually been in the Christian hip-hop
community now I haven't been in it for
that long maybe two and a half years but
who has been actually immersed in a bit
I haven't been an artist I've never made
a rap song I've just listened to a lot
watched a lot of interviews and stuff of
that nature and most of these videos are
made by Christian truthers who have
nothing good to say about hip-hop anyway
there are a few outliers but most of the
people who are against outside of the
community so yeah that's what I have to
say on it let me know your thoughts keep
it peaceful please I know some of you
didn't want me to make this video
because you're saying oh you're making it
worse if you you point out the
problems then I guess people will be
able to see those problems and then fix
them or maybe they'll just disagree I'm
fine with that even though I might think
I'm right it's just opinion, I know I go on
about opinion a lot on my channel but
yeah let me know your thoughts, it is a
interesting debate but let's keep it
peaceful some people get so unbelievably
mad at the dumbest things like the NF
news video they're like are you judging
it already how dare you like I just said
the sound of it sounded prideful so i
said it was prideful, i did a follow-up
comment which was pinned at the top that
said that i haven't seen the lyrics yet
so what do i know but i guess they kind
of
ignored it but I recognized that's one to
two percent of anyone who watches my
videos so yeah let me know what you think
leave a like on this video if you
enjoyed thank you guys so much for 500
subscribers it's ah really awesome i
actually all you people are still
watching which is probably like ten
percent of you I used to have a gaming
channel that almost reached 500 subs about
3,3 years ago yeah three years ago when I
stopped but I started two and a half
years before and it almost reached 500 subs
it didn't end up getting there because I
ended up quitting I used to make
Minecraft videos by the way so you
comment that if you're still watching
they'll be pretty cool to see who
actually stays till the end but yeah
because I guess some of you might think
I how because I have I guess I have
decent thumbnails and know how to make
videos I didn't just come off the block
make 18 videos and do reasonably
well I I have a lot of years built up
like I'd use Photoshop like six seven
years ago just making minecraft things
and yeah so yeah thank you guys so much
for 500 subs it means a lot more than
you think and I hope to get to a 1,000 soon
we're on track to get two a thousand In a
month because we're growing super fast
at the moment which is really awesome so
yeah subscribe of you if you want to
contribute to that but I come out with
videos every two to three days for a
while there it was almost every day, but thats
because a lot of news was coming out but
ah yeah thank you for watching like the
video if you enjoyed subscribe if you
want to see more and i will see you guys
