Because not everyone believes in Christianity, not everyone is a ? sheep. This is America where people can have independent thought, especially when it comes to religious views

? gave the talent, drive and hard work to write those rhymes, stay up all night in the studio to create great music, reap the benefits off it to get out whatever negative situation they've been in before they made it and to help their homies/associates. So basically you have those that thank The Most High is actually genuine with it...everyone seem to forget it was Hip Hop that saved some lives.
Not everybody believes the fairy tale. -
Lol @ music being the major factor in not being a criminal or sell ? to your community. Blacks looking mentally weak as ? out here.

I'm not a fan of this anti-religion rap.
I'm not supporting it, and that's why I never brought GFID, I won't buy Jesus Pieces, and ill need to hear more on Born Sinner. This trend is distasteful, and I don't respect these rappers making a mockery of religion knowing damn well the topic is sensitive everywhere outside of Hip Hop. I might not the only one who feels this way, but its shocking how this trend continues to be pushed. -

Grammy board? ? giving out BET and MTV awards?I think ? like Jay-z know religion has questions that can't be answered, and they play on that to keep people talking. Its like free publicity. Same as all that Illuminati ? . They do that ? so u pay attention to all their music and people eat it up.
Look @ the cover art for WTT. Cmon son. Its blatant. Im not religious so the ? dont bother me.
What u think he meant "? all these fairytales"? he talkin about Biblical stories that are basically myths.
What was the Watch The Throne album cover about?
Here u go trollin. U misreadin my post. Im not advocating for one side or another, im just pointing out the intent.
I could give a ? who u thank @ an award show. But i still notice the change.
As for the cover art on watch the throne, i take it as Jay n Ye making fun of Christianity cuz (as stated before) its the safest religion to attack.
You didn't answer my question. What was the album cover about? What on that metallic ass cover says "roflmaoz @ christians teehehehe"? -
"put that on my diamond bezzle, you messing with the Devil" - Biggie.

And don't forget about that joint on Mobb Deep Blood money album "Pearly Gates"

Everytime there's a thread like this one the atheist come rushing in trying to let everybody know they atheist.
Yes, we know you have no belief system lol. We truly understand this. But the point is why do you have to go OUT YOUR WAY to disrespect christianity. Its like you can't be a atheist without mocking Jesus. Thats the point of the thread. Hiphop's blasphemy approach has got ridiculous. -
Docile you mean? Jesus gonna make it all better right?Nope. but no one will speak on it. Now if someone went the same route on Islam it'll be all kinds of beef
Thought process of a Jay/Game/Meek Mill/Tyler etc.....
Imma make a song insulting Jews for attention.....hol' up my boss is one so I better not
What about putting Muhammad on my album cover/chain.....oh ? they gonna put a Jihad on me for that no way
How about dissing Scientology in one of my verses.....damn Tom Cruise bout that life I'll never get a break in Hollywood doing that...
So all that's left is one of the religions that tries to keep us black folk united and peaceful.....? if it gets me more money I'm all for it
-
I guess my issue is these ? will disrespect christianity/? all day but NEVER say anything slightly disrespectful towards ? . If they DO say anything that might be considered disrespectful they rush to apologizin to ? . Its like the roles have been switched and ? worshipping ? now. SMH
-
Unless you're counting horrorcore, and other garbage like that, it's no more present than it was back in the 90's.
-
I was wondering the same ? but its always been that way. Makes you know there is a ? because so many people try to bring Him down.
More like there are just ? on people's religious beliefs. -

HIP HOP'S (UNSPOKEN) TEN COMMANDEMENTS
By Stephanie Mwandishi Gadlin
Famed Kenyan author Mgugi wa Thiongo once remarked: "...Language carries culture and culture carries, particularly through orature and literature, the entire body of values by which we perceive ourselves and our place in the world."
Commandment VI: Thou must rarely talk about ? and spirituality. You must lyrically condone atheism and a false belief system that negates the existences of a higher being. You must routinely question the existence of a ? by lyrically challenging him/her/it to take your life or to grant you three wishes. You are to refer to yourself as a ? who gives and takes life. You may lyrically create your own religion (see tenth commandment) based on a ghetto belief system. Thou shalt not talk about life and death as it relates to spirituality or a sense of purpose. You should never speak of scripture or religious texts. You are prohibited from acknowledging any spiritual beliefs that may have been instilled you by family. However, you may identify with a Jesus by wearing a large, diamond encrusted piece whereby you may brag about its costs. Under no circumstance are you to promote prayer, reflection, meditation, atonement, redemption, sacrifice, mercy or grace. The consumer fan base must identify with your lack of spiritual grounding by believing that the only gods are sex and money. By keeping this commandment you vow to limit your personal spiritual growth and development. You also vow to never been seen publicly in a church, synagogue, mosque, temple or other house of worship and reflection...
By keeping the aforementioned commandments we, "the industry," guarantee the following:
1. Unlimited marketing success and cross-over appeal.
2. A guaranteed income
3. Fame beyond your wildest dreams
4. Unlimited (but recoupable) industry resources
5. Several music awards, citations and honors
6. Protection from community repercussions

You don't have to be a follower of any religion to see what is happening, especially in regards to the comments rappers make, when you look at who controls the music industry.The current music industry emerged around the middle of the 20th century, when records had supplanted sheet music as the largest player in the music business: in the commercial world, people began speaking of "the recording industry" as a loose synonym of "the music industry". Along with their numerous subsidiaries, a large majority of this market for recorded music is controlled by four major corporate labels: Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment,[1] Warner Music Group and EMI Group. The largest portion of the live music market is controlled by Live Nation, the largest promoter and music venue owner. Live Nation is a former subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, which is the largest owner of radio stations in the United States. Creative Artists Agency is a large a management and booking company.
