You know songs like Tupac- Keep Ya Head Up or Kanye West- Family Matters but what about the underground? Does anybody know Common, and heard songs like Blue Skies, I Have A Dream, and Forever Begins? Or K-Rino with his songs, From The Sky, Didn't Ask, and What Now? The Roots? Binary star? Evidence? Rakim? Living Legends? Etc. I want to know if you know that rap isn't only about money, drugs, and sex and if you know some good songs that attest to that! Preferably songs I haven't heard if you think you got em. I listen to Christian rap too, like Bizzle with his songs, Delivered, God Over Money, etc. I do listen to certain mainstream songs as shown, but I don't keep up with em anymore cuz I'd have to go through several bad ones first and it's not worth it to me. Thanks in advance for y'alls insight! God bless!

Two of the best metaphorical lyricists imo - Eminem and Weezy, though not christian. On the christain rap side, good metaphors Tedashii. Not strong with the metaphors - Lecrae, Trip Lee has good rhythem on point 2.

I have to disagree. K-Rino and Epidemic are way better with metaphors than Wayne and Em!. Listen to Bizzle! Delivered and God over money! I'm telling you! You'll see!

I have never heard of K-Rino so I can't comment on 'em, only years of other rappers I have heard (BDK - was the best for me as a kid - Big Daddy Kane), and those I mentioned above are on my top list. I'll check these others you mention though.

I hate gangster rap. It's part of everything that's wrong with Southern California. Gangs, rap, crime, violence, sexual immorality, drugs, etc... Now I understand hip hop because I lived through the period it was invented and became popular before NWA poisoned that entire genre by launching the sub-genre of gangster rap. I went right through the 80's and 90's here... in LA and surrounding areas. I have little positive to say about what I witnessed as it was almost all bad... as in bad to the bone... no good.

BUT, there is Christian rap and I've listened to some of it. When I went to Victory Outreach for a number of years, the black and hispanic ex-bangers were into it. Us whites were not though we'd listen to it sometimes. We looked down on the wiggers for many reasons I won't go into but the wiggers would listen to rap. If you're trying to reach that demographic as an evanglist, Christian rap is a tool. I get it.

The rappers don't get any of my money though. I don't feed them. I don't feed anyone that isn't working for the Lord. EOM.

Well, that was thoroughly negative and somewhat insulting.

I must be getting really old. Common and The Roots are now considered underground?

I really see Christian rap acting as a form of positive expression for people transitioning from various related lifestyles in the world (both gang and non-gang related) into the body of Christ as well as a powerful evangelistic tool to those demographics. So yes, I give it my cosign when it's used in positive ways. For sure.
