brother tb on “The Truth Behind Hip Hop”
// April 23rd, 2012 // No Comments » // Hot Topics & Blog Blurbs
You may be familiar with the teachings, ministry or dvd series by G. Craige Lewis wherein he basically states that rap is the devil’s music, and that there can be no such thing as “holy hip hop” because “hip hop” was founded as a false religion by Afrika Bambaataa and KRS One back in the 1970’s. A brother Anthony of Christian rap group Hazakim wrote an excellent article refuting Mr. Lewis’ teaching on many fronts, and in particular on the origins of secular hip hop, crediting DJ Cool Herc as the real founder of “hip hop.” I am certainly no hip hop historian so as to that issue I simply refer you to brother Anthony’s well written article which is available at www.clarkyboy.com/hazakim.htm.
The purpose of this blog is to provide the reader with yet further evidence that Mr. Lewis is wrong about Christian rap.
