"There was a time when Christian rap music could be easily - TopicsExpress

"There was a time when Christian rap music could be easily discounted for its elementary rhymes, poor production, and excessively Christian themes concerned only with evangelism. Yet, the dismissive hand with which some scholars continue to treat the art form must be reconsidered..... No longer wrought with only Christian overtones that characterized earlier popular lyricist urban, Christian rap music configured important narratives, telling of certain geographical, racial, ethnic and class realities. Interestingly enough, the flourishing of this new black urban Christian sound would occur alongside the transformation of the Black Church." Therefore, it was that black neo-Pentecostal televangelists in many ways co-opted hip hop’s style and sensibilities in advancing their message. In the process hip hop in general and rap music in particular was able to establish a more influential presence within the Black Church. Black Christian rappers in many ways have been able to reaffirm the more traditional and new Black Church sensibilities while simultaneously addressing their current marginality in American culture.-Erika D.
