So I've had this question asked a lot recently David what do you think about artists
swearing in their music now I've talked about this quite a few times in the past
but I realized a third of you guys have come in the last month so I'll go over
it again I'll give you my clear thoughts on it so a lot of this discussion was
started a few months back and Christian hip-hop with chancer rapper winning the
Grammy and him praising Jesus and all that stuff and I guess just the general
discussion about his music in general since he has a few clean songs that talk
about God but then he has others that seem to contradict it and then I guess
you might count Kendrick Lamar in the conversation as well but I feel like
he's a way too far out of Christian hip-hop or Christianity to be counted
in that conversation I guess but also there's been a much beloved
underrated upcoming Christian rapper who started swearing in his music as well
Adrian stressow so I've actually had quite a few comments from concerned fans
of his I've actually talked about him previously in videos I think it was my top
10 Upcoming Christian rappers video that's like three or four months
old now but I talked about him and that I believe I don't know what place he was
at but he was in there as well now my thoughts on swearing In general
Christian hip-hop I don't think it really has a place in it I mean there
are a few exceptions for me though one being the n word used in context to be
talking about like slavery or something related to that as just like a casual
term I don't think it really should be used I mean I know in the culture and
American culture only black guys can use the n-word but if you know the
history of it and you're a Christian I don't know if you really should be using
that word I guess words do change in meaning over time so definitely a grey
area for me but I honestly don't think should be used in Christian context
outside of referring to either Kaleb Mitchell talking about it with someone
called him that words are used in a song or someone referring to or alluding to
slavery in some kind of way now you guys have been bringing out bible verses
now I havent used scriptures in my videos for a while now I used to when I first
started but I guess I don't as much anymore because it's more musical
commentary on Christian hip-hop rather than biblical commentary maybe I should
start doing that but more Ephesians 4:29 now I'm going to use the easier
translation for a younger viewers to understand I know I have quite a few
younger viewers but Ephesians 4:29 don't use foul or abusive language let
everything you say be good and helpful so that your words can be an
encouragement to those who hear them the new living translation and also
the King James says let there be no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth
but that which is good to use of edifying that it may Minister grace unto
the hearers, now I guess if you read those verses that could also apply to
other words as well like maybe it's not even considered a swear word but the way
you used it in a hateful way that could be considered not ministering grace unto
the hearers also I think we'd start swearing in Christian hip-hop I mean
what difference do we have between mainstream and Christian hip-hop I mean
pretty much nothing now but I think it makes us look like hypocrites as well
but let me know you guys thoughts I went over a bit of this In my what Christian
hip-hop needs video uploaded it like five days ago I think now maybe a week
