Because he said he is
There ya go! See? I didn't know if it was just something you guessed! But if you actually heard him say it.... You DID hear HIM say it, didn't you?
Cause I just haven't been able to find ANYTHING having to do with Nas and being Christian.
And his lyrics are no more or less glorifying to God then some of Petra's and AA's and Newsboys' and Piller's lyrics.
Completely untrue! Excepting Petra who I'm not as familiar with... Did you even read the quotes I posted? I didn't think so....
I did, no difference from what I can tell. He called on God, they call on GOd. He sings "in the name of God" for selfish reasons, they sing songs "in the name of God" for selfish reasons
Quote
I cannot look at the heart, and I don't know what his life is like, so I have to take his word on it.
ROFL! I never thought you could! But again, you did hear Nas say it, right? So being young, you must have a good enough memory to recall where and when YOU heard him say it, right?
Nope, not right now. COllege can be an overload sometimes

James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that–and shudder.
The difference being Christ.....
Christ
ians...
You can't see into Nas' heart, yet you can know that their reasons are 'selfish'?
Nope, not right now. COllege can be an overload sometimes
Yes, it can. I remember.
But you said you have heard Nas say that he's a Christian. Yet you can't remember where or when?
Are you sure you didn't just assume that because of a CD title or a song?
Out of the groups you listed; I have NEVER heard the langauge in their lyrics that Nas uses. Nor have I ever heard them sing of BEING the Messiah..... And yet, you see no difference?

Ok, first of all, I must put in for John Reuben, he is newer, yes, but a great Christian, that loves to create Christian Rap, have any of you ever seen him in concert? wow, he has such an awesoem stage presence that just lets you know that he is not doing it for money, or for gratification, but is doing it for God, and that is what it is all about. Another Great Christian Rapper is KJ-52, he also is a strong Christian, his last cd, "It's pronounced five-two" had a great song about a girl that wanted to commit suicide, and KJ walks her through it, and tells how God loves her so much and all that good stuff...he also has a very good song called I'm Guilty, in which he tells the whole story of being persecuted, but in a modern light...

TRUE CHRISTIAN RAP LIFTS OF JESUS AND IT ROCKS.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN YOU ARE SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT REAL CHRISTIANS RAPPERS ARE SPITTING. FIND OUT.
EXAMPLE:
Free
Performed by The Ambassador
Written by William Branch
Produced by Lee Jerkins for Rock Soul Productions
Recorded by Vince Delorenzo
Mixed by Jim Bottari
Published by Cross Movement Music & Publishing (SESAC) &
Soul Rock Music (BMI)
Hook:
"I wanna know if you wanna know which way to go,
it's a narrow road, and if you carry loads, you can be set free
I don't care about the car you drive... are you alive?
This is do or die, so you and I need to be totally free
Verse One:
Who you wanna be like, a man or woman with vision to see right?
Do you have any passion to be right, or be light?
Shinin' like you're a diamond or would it be tight
to roll with a cat, who holds a gat and lets the weed light?
Quick to brawl and get involved in a street fight
Quick to ball, forget it yall, he's enthralled with street life
He's gotcha thinking that he's hype but these type
never sleep tight they stay awake countin' the sheep, right?
He's got the sweet life? Please! "Sike!"
He's phony, he's really lonely that's why he clubs every week night
He can't handle the storm, he's like a cheap kite
He need's Christ, he's the opposite of Levite:
Unholy and a contradiction like "FREE PRICE,"
blind as a bat or better yet blind as three mice
Either way you look at it the crooks get it,
don't look at me like I'm pathetic, the Book said it!
Repeat Hook
Verse Two:
Do you wanna be the kind of sis' that does work with a kiss
workin' her hips, and gotta use a skirt and a twist
I'm certain of this, love's what you're searchin' for, Miss
but earth's an Abyss so that love you're certain to miss
‘cause most guys from birth, grow to be guys that flirt
putting sweet lies to work so as to disguise the purp(ose)
which is to shoot the gift, just to get you to shift
your views cause if he can make you switch
He's got the tools to get in the "skins,"
you know that that's been the trend
Why would he get a wife when he can just get a "friend,"
and with a little gin after a spin in the Benz
with some R&B he can "hit" again and again
I know it's sort of bugged but now I'm sailing on the waters of
experience, I know a wife and a daughter's love
So I'm up on things that pertain to "dime pieces"
My mind reaches to share things that remain after my rhyme ceases
Let him keep the cheese, never let him eat for free
Let him meet your needs and never let him sleep and leave
God's plan is that you marry so the creep must cleave
and learn about a woman's worth like Alicia Keys
Dudes and dudettes should both do that
So I'm exposing this like film when light gets to it
You need to learn about the way the righteous do it
You gotta see what life looks like when Christ gets to it
Repeat Hook
Bridge:
I wanna know if you wanna know (which way go?)
People, it's a narrow road (it's His way or no!)
There's too much weight on ya (dude, can't ya see?)
You need truth dropped straight on ya (so you can be free!)
Verse Three:
This is a call to introspection
Some interjection into men's perspect
since God calls them into question,
all their mindsets and their behavioral patterns
"I gave you a pattern,” He says, “but I'm afraid you're an Adam.”
So you're made in a manner that we called depraved and this grammar
It’s just a big word to describe that you're enslaved and you cannot
find the power to even do the good you desire
That's even bugged that's like trying to match the good with Empire
[‘Cause] we're the dark-side
Life is rougher and tougher than shark's hide
We walk by dissin' the same God who on the cross died
For once we need a people with vision that’s Cross-eyed
So we can focus on where hope is with our jaws wide open
Man, I be hoping all people will all cry out
to the Savior cause the Judge ain't lettin' y’all slide
'Cause He's the Love Boat now but I panic
'Cause y’all don't understand that He'll be the Titanic
And take under, some men with [a] great thunder
He's the great wonder, shunnin’ Him’s the great blunder
See it's costly, while y’all see the floss,
we see what God sees, that it's awfully fake like false teeth
Whether legit or the fast route, when you cash out
you'll see that "Ice" is like Frosty in the glass house
And beauty is vain, won't truly remain,
you act like you'll be the same, imagine you with a cane
or you with a chain rusted, or you with the pains of time
doing the same of what it's done to every human who came before
Now how would that be? My point exactly, nuff said, come on and be set free"
HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS?

Turn off the Caps Lock, please.
And saying what you said is like stating that if you don't like the taste of raw eggs, than you don't like cake.
I hate almost all rap. So no, I probably wouldn't like what you posted.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the Christians that are teachable and that are intrested in seeing how GOD is doing new things to save the people he loves.
And for the record I hate all rap, but I love Gospel Rap.
There is a difference yet you would have to open your eyes to notice. Alot of Christians are walking around with their eyes shut and not witnessing to the people GOD put in their paths to witness to.

You didn't address your post that way, so how was I to assume I wasn't supposed to answer?
And for the record I hate all rap, but I love Gopel Rap.
Does anyone else find this confusing?

READ MORE, POST LESS.
Who ever said this was the only way? Have you read anything I've posted or are you just responding to the question?
The difference from Rap and Gospel rap is that one talks about the world and the other( Gospel Rap) talks and teaches about the GOSPEL.
Now if you don't like the teachings of the Gospel then thats between you and GOD.

The difference from Rap and Gospel rap is that one talks about the world and the other( Gospel Rap) talks and teaches about the GOSPEL.
And I quote: "And for the record I hate all rap, but I love Gospel Rap."
In this case, I took the word "all" to mean every type of rap. Gospel rap, as far as I am concerned, is still "rap," especially because "rap" is in the genre name. Therefore, if you say you hate all rap, that means you would also hate "gospel rap."
Now if you don't like the teachings of the Gospel then thats between you and GOD.
Please, I urge you, go back to all my posts on this thread (heck, for all I care, you could root through every post I've ever made on this entire site) and show me where I ever said I didn't like the teachings of God. But, on this note, I would like to ask you to stop saying that "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT [gospel rap] THEN YOU ARE SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE THE WORD OF GOD." I like Ford motor company, but I don't like minivans. I love school but I hated my music keyboarding class. I like iPods but I hate Apple. I like the Chicago Blackhawks but I think their owner's a complete moron.
Liking gospel rap and liking the Word of God are in no way complimentary to each other.
