There is a misconception that "Christian Rap" should stereotypically be on some "goodie goodie" tip, but thats stupid considering that the Bible is full of "Kill Em All" stories...

Take a song like Metallica's "Creeping Death" This song can be classified as a "Christian song" because the lyrics are based on a Biblical story, the Angel of Death killing all the first born sons in Egypt...

The Bible is actually a grimmey book full of horrific and dark themes...

In fact, if you rapped about Satan killing babies and throwing them in hell fire, that would technically still be "Christian Rap" because Satan is a Christian concept...

Why should the Bible hide these stories? Would it be better if the grimmey stories didn't exist in it? Would you rather learn only the good side of American history or could we benefit from learning about the bad?

Imagine reading an American history book with no slavery, genocide of Native Americans, KKK, segregation, lynching, Tuskegee experiments, etc. Would that make you a better person?

Did you read what I posted...?

Let me be clear, I for one DO NOT believe that "Christian Rap" should be restricted to some "happy go lucky everything is good under the sun" themes...

Christian Rap can be violent, depressive, happy, sexual and everything else, because all these things are addressed in the Bible...

Basically, I really don't care about what a rapper raps about, I only care about the musical backdrop, and the conviction and effectiveness of a rappers delivery...
