James Fields used to listen to 50 cent, Jay-Z and Nas, but now he "knows the truth behind those rap lyrics". Oh dear, I think we've found ourselves some Religious Freaks™. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìI was bound to that hip-hop lifestyle and what it gave me, but it didn√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t make me closer to God,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù the Clinton Township graduate student said. Another handful of students discovered that some recording artists have subliminal messages in their lyrics during √¢‚Ǩ≈ìThe Truth Behind Hip Hop√¢‚Ǩ¬ù presentation Friday in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. Members of Victorious Student Outreach and Living Sacrifices for Christ presented a DVD from Elder G. Craige Lewis√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ EX Ministries entitled √¢‚Ǩ≈ìThe Truth behind Hip Hop 2: Exodus into Egypt.√¢‚Ǩ¬ù In the DVD, Lewis started his sermon by explaining the origins of rap music. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìThe reason why some of us are so conducive to sin is because of the atmosphere,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù Lewis said in the DVD. He went on to say according to Roy H. Williams√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ book √¢‚Ǩ≈ìThought Particles,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù the only thing that can go through the human mind without consent is music. Lewis said rap music started as messages of anti-Christ that were delivered alongside rhythm and beats. Lawrence K. Parker, also known as KRS One, was one of the first rap artists to present this type of music. Lewis said KRS One believes humans are the real gods and Jesus Christ is not the son of God. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìThey believed that Jesus is the white man√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s God,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù Lewis said. Lewis said today√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hip-hop recording artists are guilty of this kind of anti-Christ music too. He gave the example of Roc-a-fella recording artist Kanye West. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìThis is Kanye West,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù Lewis said. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìHe has a song out called √¢‚ǨÀúJesus Walks√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢, but on that same album he has a song called √¢‚ǨÀúGet √¢‚ǨÀúEm High.√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢√¢‚Ǩ¬ù Dorthy Beemon said she will not be listening to Jay-Z or Alicia Keys anymore because of what she learned from Lewis√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ presentation. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìHonestly, I had to do a huge check on myself,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù the Saginaw sophomore said. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìI went through my CD case and threw out a lot of my CDs.√¢‚Ǩ¬ù Lewis calls these anti-Christ musicians neo-soul artists. He also said Christians should not listen to secular music. √¢‚Ǩ≈ìNow that I know what that (lyrics) means, I definitely don√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t want to be listening to that because it doesn√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t go with my Christian values,√¢‚Ǩ¬ù Beemon said. ______________________ If you're not laughing too hard, check the original post here.
