No Room for Davidical Hip-Hop

 

[Study Luke 2:1-7]

As popular as the music genre of hip-hop has gotten there will always be in away no room for us anywhere. The fullness of all that hip-hop was, is, and the potential for what it could be will never truly be accepted.

 

Think about it. The music form/genre itself makes millions and billions of dollars as the top money-making style of music after rock. But really, what kind of hip-hop makes that kind of money? Only the pop (popular) form of hip-hop is making that kind of money. The “radio-friendly” and “political correct” hip-hop is what is being put out there. The watered down non-creative version of it is blasting on the airwaves and on our television sets. And to be more blunt, the DUMBED DOWN version of hip-hop.

 

It’s like one big commercial ad or Super bowl/half-time show. I’m not going to lie to you, I HATE commercial music. It doesn’t even matter the genre. I’d be the same way towards country music, that is, if I listened to it. It has nothing to do with hip-hop. I just don’t like music that is not well thought of and created to the best of one’s ability.

 

Creative music just for the arts is not accepted. There is no room for it in the end. So we take it and birth the great music in the garage, in a closet in the house called “the booth”, and as Luke 2:7 says, “in the inn.”

 

We wrap that “baby” we call our music in “swaddling clothes” and have to take care of it so it doesn’t die in our heart of hearts. And this is more than just being “old school” or whatever. That has nothing to do with it. It has more to do with losing you life to find the true creative you in Christ rather than selling your soul for the whole globe do money, power, fame, and sex.
