Hip Hop From Hell
By
David J. Stewart
Hip
Hop is of the Devil
There
is NO such animal as "Christian Hip Hop"! It
is a misnomer. There is nothing even remotely "Christian" about
the Devil's music. Christian Hip Hop has amassed
a large cult following of worldly young people who idolize
such Satanic performers as Antonious, Gospel Gangstaz,
GRITS, KJ-52, TobyMac, Mr. Real, Out of Eden, Parkway,
John Reuben, T-Bone, and St. Michael. These "artists" are
imposters who EXPLOIT the name of Jesus to make money ...
lots of money! What they need to do is burn their
works of Satan as the wise Christians did in Acts 19:19, "Many
of them also which used curious arts brought their books
together, and burned them before all men..."
According
to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament
Words by W.E. Vine (Grand Rapids, MI: Fleming H. Revell,
1981)...
"PERIERGOS (Strong's #4021) ... It is used of magic arts in Acts
19:19 (lit., ‘things that are around work,’ and thus
superfluous), i.e., the arts of those who pry into forbidden
things, with the aid of evil spirits."
Listen
friend ... rock-n-roll music, rap, and hip hop are works
of Satan, and such music invokes evil spirits (demons). Hip
Hop = The Devil. Don't believe it? Then listen
to some of the Devil's children themselves concerning rock
music (and by the way, rap and hip hop are just another
form of rock music). The hallmark trait of rock music
is it's driving Devilish BEAT. Take away the beat
and NOT one rap/hip hop album would sell...
The devil's crowd knows "rock" is Evil...
David Bowie:
"Rock has always been THE DEVIL'S MUSIC. . ." (Rolling Stone,
Feb. 12, 1976)
John Lennon:
"I've sold my soul to the DEVIL." (Ray Coleman, Lennon, p.256)
Little Richard:
"I'm the Rock 'n Roll singer that you heard about through the years. . .
I was directed and commanded by another power. The power of DARKNESS. . . The
power of the DEVIL, SATAN." (Charles White, The Life and Times of Little
Richard, pp. 205-206)
During a 1993 Oprah Winfrey interview, Michael Jackson, explained
the reason for some of his filthy sexual gestures during
his concerts:
"It happens subliminally. IT'S THE MUSIC THAT COMPELS ME TO DO
IT. You don't think about it, it just happens. I'M
SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM." (The Evening Star, Feb. 11, 1993, p. A10)
Nothing
said about the lyrics! It's the MUSIC!

"People there are, not a few, who
have pipe organ abilities and make no more music for the
causes of Christ than a wheezy saxophone in an idiot's
hands." -Dr. R.G. Lee (from the needful sermon, PAYDAY
SOMEDAY)
The
August Charisma featured an article on hip-hop music
which stated: “The music is loud, and the beats are strong.
But Christian hip-hop [an oxymoron?] artists say they're
using this unorthodox sound to reach a generation for Christ.” Readers
responded (10/02 Charisma): “The hip-hop revolution
is ordained of Satan to destroy our youth … It saddens
me that you can condone a musical style that is obviously
fleshly and demonic. God is not using hip-hop to
reach youth. This is clearly a situation where young
people don't want to separate from the world ... Hip-hop
music is decidedly hypnotic … Christian leaders need to
show leadership and remove this ungodly music from their
churches … Shame on Charisma for promoting music
that is corrupting our youth.”
Out
of Hell
Out
of Eden is a Hip-hop/ R&B/Gospel
group of soul sisters who are actually sisters! Lisa
Kimmey, Andrea Kimmey-Baca, and Danielle Kimmey. I
think a more appropriate name for their group would be "OUT
OF HELL." These women are imposters, exploiting
the name of Jesus to make a fast buck. It is sad,
and a clear sign of the apostate condition of America,
when professed "Christians" act, dress, and
sing just like the unsaved world. The idea that
you can put improved lyrics to Satanic music, and then
label it as "Christian," is totally INSANE!
Also,
look how these women are immodestly dressed. [Sorry,
the photo is unavailable.] And who stands like that? The
woman in the middle looks like she's having a problem or
something. I'm not trying to be unkind, I am trying
to make a good point--these so-called "Christian" women
look and sing like heathens! The Bible, God's Word,
states in no uncertain terms that we are to be separated
from the Christ-rejecting world, "Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion
hath light with darkness? ... Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (2nd
Corinthians 6:14,17).
Their songs have been used
in many screen productions such as Eddie Murphy's "Dr.
Doolittle," Christina Aguilera's Diary (a lesbian
whore), and The Chris Rock Show. This is evidence
enough of their worldly status. They also appeared
on the primetime UPN show Moesha (starring Brandy) and
have been featured in several major magazine features and
cover stories. In the photo to the right, the two
sisters on each end are sitting like tramps. [Sorry,
the photo is unavailable.] Is this how a Christian
woman should sit, like dogs? Don't get mad at me,
I have 2 dogs and that's how they sit. These girls
are bad news, serving the Devil, and ought to be ashamed
of themselves for posing in such a lewd and unladylike
manner. It's not just marketing tactics--nudity and
sexual advertising are demonic! Clearly, this album
cover is sexually suggestive. It's disgusting in
the name of morality!
1st
Timothy 2:9 admonishes, "In like manner also, that
women adorn themselves in modest apparel..." The
Greek word for "modest" here means "of good
behavior." Hence, Christian ladies are commanded
by God to dress in a manner which sends the proper kind
of message to others, especially the opposite sex. The
photo above clearly sends out a whorish message.
From
Poop Dog to the Gospel Gangstaz?
You've got to be kidding me,
right? What a joke! Gospel Gangstaz? Gospel
Gangstaz is made up of Mr. Solo, Tik Tokk, and Chille'
Baby. The album cover pictured to the left reads, "I
CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW." We'll they sure can't
write clearly! Here's the first part of their ridiculous
song, Ghetto Sermon...
my
dog slipped the pistol grip,
blasted caught him in his back and now im rappin in front a this casket
now you cant touch this, well, this world is cold,
my
word is good as gold homies claim they homies but they
phonies cuz they fold
now as its told, stroll with me down another life, hold on tight
cuz the brightest day is your darkest night
look to the right as you see around me or pursue you
they was pointin like they knew you, they just jackers tryin to do you
wait a minute, let you grab your get em up of me,
cuz aint no killin you softly
you peep they deep,
so now you gotta meets where they put em to sleep
you pulls out proof of yo decease, and wish your enemies rest in grief
I
think I'd rather listen to Poop Dog (Snoop Dog). Truthfully,
I wouldn't listen to either, because it's all straight
out of the pits of Hell. If you're going to listen
to Gospel Gangstaz, then you might as well listen to Poop
Dog, because demons are the source of ALL hip hop music. The
CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) crowd just doesn't get
it ... demons are spirits and music is a spiritual MEDIUM. Likewise,
God is a Spirit. We have to analyze each song that
the CCM crowd produces and ask ourselves ... "Is this
of the Holy Spirit or a demonic spirit? Christian
Hip Hop is of the Devil, and is some of the most deplorable
music in existence. Don't you tell me that God approves
of such evil music. But you say, "Wait a minute,
this music is helping to reach gang members, who otherwise
wouldn't come to Christ." The question is, are
they coming to Christ? ... or are they coming to a synthetic
form of Christianity.
We
read in James 4:4, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity
with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God." Christian Hip Hop
is as worldly as can be, and is therefore the enemy of
God! The MUSIC ITSELF is the most damnable part about
any Hip Hop. How dare these compromisers blaspheme
my Lord Jesus Christ by saying that He approves of carnal,
worldly, and devilish music!
The
Deadly Dangers of Hip Hop
Hip
Hop music is worldly! Christians who live in the
world WILL face the judgment of God one day (Romans 14:12). 1st
John 2:15-17 plainly states, "Love not the world,
neither the things that are in the world. If any man love
the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For
all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever." Hip Hop is nothing
but pure pride and fleshly lust.
Let
me put this into perspective for you. Everyone knows
that hard-liquor is something not to be messed with. Jack
Daniel's, Jim Beam, Smirnoff--They all contain a high alcohol
concentration. So most people drink beer instead,
since it contains a far LESS amount of alcohol. Yet,
there is a great deceit in this, because nearly all traffic-related
accidents and fatalities involve BEER! Many people
feel more relaxed drinking beer BECAUSE of it's lower alcohol
content; therefore, beer is extremely dangerous. Only
an alcoholic would guzzle a bottle of Jack Daniel's; but,
every day thousands of Americans are involved in alcohol-related
accidents because of someone who unintentionally had one
drink too many. My point is that Christian Hip Hop
is promoted as being "better" than secular Hip
Hop because it's words have been cleaned up; BUT, IT STILL
CONTAINS ALCOHOL (the demonic music itself).
Hip
Hop music will kill you spiritually! I'm so sick
and tired of hearing heathens talk about how they're "serving
God" by selling records, pimping across a stage, traveling
the world, and stashing millions of dollars into their
own personal bank accounts. They're really suffering
for Jesus aren't they? Boy, they're really suffering
persecution from the world aren't they. Doesn't anyone
read the Bible anymore? 2nd Timothy 3:12 states, "Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution." Not maybe, or possible; but,
shall! And it doesn't mean that the Ghetto Gangstaz'
plane broke down either.
We
are truly living in apostate times, in the last days. I
am often reminded of Jeremiah 7:8-11, "Will ye
steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely,
and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom
ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house,
which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to
do all these abominations? Is this house, which is
called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?
Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD." To
claim that ANY rock or Hip Hop music is of God is blasphemy! We
are living in evil days, when increasingly, professed Christians
are claiming that God permits homosexuality ... doesn't
mind Harry Potter's witchcraft ... doesn't get angry over
abortion ... and is acceptant of worldly music that glorifies
the flesh. God hates Hip Hop music! God hates
abortion! God hates homosexuality! God hates
witchcraft! BUT, God loves sinners, so much that
He shed His blood for them (1st Peter 1:18,19). …..
Notice
in Jeremiah 7:11 that God accused the Jews of making His
house into a den of thieves. This is EXACTLY what
the CCM "industry" has done. If the "Christian" Rock,
Hip Hop, and Rap artists want to truly serve God, then
why don't they give away ALL their music for FREE? I
mean, God gave it to them for free, right? Oh, they
couldn't do that, because their record producers would
flush them down the toilet instantly. IT'S ALL ABOUT
MONEY! Again, doesn't anyone read the Bible, "No
servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Say
what they will, CCM artists and their producers are getting
filthy rich. Their big bank accounts deny their claims
of caring about people. People are such hypocrites
these days. I see multimillionaire singers and movie
stars giving a little chump-change to some poor group. Then
they turn it into a big media frenzy, bringing out all
the cameras to document their generous act of charity. It's
sickening! Jesus said they already have their reward
(Matthew 6:2).
Conclusion
Let
me ask you a question? Would it be right for a church
to give away cigarettes at a smoker's convention in exchange
for an opportunity to witness to people? Would it
be right for a church to give away free beer? What
if a church offered to show a dirty porno movie after the
sermon, to lure lustful men into church to hear the Gospel. Would
it be right?
The
answer to all of these questions is a resounding, "NO"! Would
it be wrong for a Christian man to enter into a strip-joint
to witness to some people inside? Yes, it would be
very wrong! Likewise, it is SINFUL for anyone to
use worldly music in an attempt to reach the lost for Christ. The
problem is that MOST believers today don't recognize the
dangers of fleshly (carnal) music. The average believer
today is so selfish, carnal, and immature that they don't
see anything wrong with Satanic music. Using
worldly music to bring people to Christ is like using women
in miniskirts to do the same.
This
is so important for you to understand. If God wanted
to reach the world at all costs, then why did He write
the Bible in such a harsh manner? I mean, we read
about all the people who were slaughtered throughout the
Old Testament? The Word of God contains much horror
and atrocities, accounts of thousands of children being
mass-murdered, etc. The famous writer Mark Twain
said, "If there is a God, He is a malign thug." The
Bible prevents more people from being saved than anything
else, and Jesus said so (John 3:20). The world is
diametrically opposed to God. There is NO common
denominator, no fellowship between Christ and Belial, between
Light and darkness (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17). This
is the reason why God doesn't compromise, because it just
doesn't work! There will NEVER be any harmony between
the righteous and the wicked (Proverb 29:27).
So
if God NEVER compromised in order to reach the lost, then
it is sinful for us to think we know more than God. John
the Baptist didn't impress Herod when he preached against
his adultery (Mark 6:18). The Apostle Paul didn't
make any friends when he accused the Church at Corinth
of having a serious problem with fornication (1st Corinthians
5:1). The BEST and BIBLICAL method of reaching the
lost for Christ is found in 2nd Timothy 4:2, "PREACH
THE WORD!" The lost need preaching; not
gansta music. Not one of the Apostles ever had a
musical ministry. God told us to make melodies
in our hearts to the Lord. Did you ever stop
to think that maybe God would like to hear some music from
your own heart, instead of you playing that same prerecorded
CD over and over, while idolizing your CCM god. The
CCM industry has been leading young people to bow to Nebuchadnezzar's
golden imagine long enough, it's time for professed Christians
to refuse to idolize these heathen rock stars (rappers)
any longer. Do the Christian thing and burn your
Hip Hop garbage.

is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance
to do right" -Bob Jones Sr.
"It
is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a
man to hear the song of fools." -Ecclesiastes 7:5
