Getting Along With Christian Hip Hop Artists

By Shelly Berger


The way religious music is made has changed significantly over the past few years. People from all genres do not do it the way they used to do it several years back. However, there is a particular genre that is under scrutiny and which is the recipient of all sorts of criticism. There are people who believe that Christian hip hop artists are not representing their religion.

The mistake that most critics of this music genre do is to generally comment about that who lot that does this style and come to very general conclusions. This is being both fair and unjust to the many other artists who do the same style but are genuinely committed to their values.It is therefore good to review and criticize individuals than the whole bunch.

And when you look at some of the factors they base onto write off musicians in this genre, you will be forgiven to laugh. You will hear people say that a particular musician is bad because they dress not so well. Surely! There must be more important things to base on your critics of these people than just they way they dress.

Others will even get as low as using how a musician dances to write him or her off. When it comes to dancing, it very difficult to say which is the right one and which is wrong. This is because there is not set standard style that regulates how Christians should dance. Dancing has more to do with the individuals. However, it is true to note that there are some dances that are not suitable.

It does not mean that the musicians in this field are perfect though. It sure is true that there some things they do not do well, but so do musicians from all the other genres! It is therefore quite difficult to understand why the focus on those who do hip hop.

You will even hear some people argue that these people mix with the wrong type. They work together with secular singers and that they sing in places that are not associated to Christianity. Yes that do, but it is not to mean that they go there for anything else other than singing. And despite, this is the chance they have to convert those who do the secular thing to the religion.

Time has come when we must learn to give support to these musicians. We have to correct them when needed. But we also have to give credit where deserved.
