This session will discuss the relationship
between hip-hop and the church. It seeks to
address three basic concerns hip-hoppers
approach the church with:
What have you taught me? Where have you
sent me? Where are we going and
when will we get there?
Until we begin to look at the strong criticisms
of the church that many young people hold,
we will not be able to reach them. We will
delve into the lyrics of many rap legends,
including Tupac Shakur, Lauryn Hill, Kanye
West, Nas, and others, to decipher at what
point can we forge a ministry opportunity with
the hip-hop culture.
