Hip Hop Bigger Then Religion...


Hip Hop can offer the same beauty as a flock of birds within formation, but the ugly truth is it will never be truly accepted within British culture. As the powers that be try to stifle the growth of a community, thus belittling one of the most common art forms of expression. Can Hip Hop really be talked in the same breath as religion; sometimes word through rap can offer those who are not religious hope. Hip Hop allows conversion to those who are willing to accept, with no preference over skin colour or heritage as Hip Hop welcomes all. Joy can be felt as we sit back and listen to the rhymes off the rappers hymn sheets. Loose demonic Associations within rap exists but I think it’s a myth, as if religion failed to exist all that we would be hearing is music. Listening in for the calm purity, listening for clarity after every verse and hook. To Tell the honest truth not only Hip Hop but music has the ability the power to shape the world, it leaves its mark on the eternal fabric of time once were dead and gone. Hip Hop is typically surrounded by controversy but that’s the stuff it thrives off to allow to it to live, as without controversy there would be no sales. Take for example no church in the wild taken from the joint album by Jay z and my dude Kanye, it has served its purpose to enthral the masses. My last thought think of a concert as church filled to the brim as the crowd throw adulation to our modern day preachers, as they deliver the divine will of their life's through hip-hop. Some artists deviate from their true testimonies, this leaves the interpretations on the topic of hip-hop open ended. As Hip Hop always has a dark side which has the ability to alter the minds of the young. The joy of hip hop cannot be denied as it brings smiles among many, with every new metaphor and hard hitting beat...
