Here's a section of K-Rino speaking on The Debate song, I'll post the full interview later...
P: Going into your music, where do you come up with some of the concepts for your songs? Like in "The Debate" where you play the role of both sides of a debate as well as the moderator, did that just come to you?
K: Well, sometimes concepts come, sometimes you get ideas off of experiences. "The Debate" was based on one day I was on Youtube and I saw a debate. I saw a Christian minister debating an evolutionist and I watched a little of the debate. I didn't watch much of the debate because it was kind of boring, but I started clicking on other videos of people arguing and I looked at both sides. I saw a video entitled "how to defeat Christian in a debate if you're an evolutionist" and another one would say "how to defeat an evolutionist in a debate if you're a Christian." I would read the stuff and I was naturally familiar with the creationist side of it because I grew up with that, but I wasn't familiar with the evolutionist side of things. So I learned and I just studied it and I thought, "you know what? That would be a real tight song if I were to just to do that." Knowing me, I always wanted to do things in way that no one else would do it or in a way that no one else had done. So I came up with the idea to do that and give a fair debate for both sides. Even though I don't believe in evolution I still wanted to make that I spoke on it the best I could for their behalf. I didn't want to come out just destroying the evolutionist because I believed in God. I wanted to make sure that both sides were represented to the best of my ability and hopefully I did.
Edit: Here's the song for anybody interested...
