Christians like bad rap.
GodTube has a hip-hop channel. Baby Got Book is the most watched video on the channel. It’s more popular on GodTube than YouTube. It has 739,000 views on YouTube but 965,000 on GodTube.
Youth Ministers rap at church. If you bring a friend to church and the pastor or youth minister rap, your friend isn’t coming back, ever. Just because it’s easy to change the lyrics to make a make a secular song “Christian” doesn’t mean it should ever be done.
Christians who aren’t musically talented assume it’s easy to rap and are encouraged to do so because the church wants to be relevant. I was in a staff meeting where the pastor was encouraged to do a rap to reach out to young people. Fortunately, he didn’t.
Hopefully, no one is creating a Christian parody of Soulja Boy (imagine your pastor trying to do the dance) as an entry for the 2009 Holy Hip Hop Music Awards.
