Sway thinks "Christian hip hop is accepted by mainstream"
It's definitely made serious strides over the past 5-10 years...dunno if its fully accepted yet

Sway's right. Christianity is mainstream anyway so it's only a matter of time as hip hop went mainstream. As he rightly pointed out, the first major rappers I saw that constantly mentioned God were Pac and DMX. And they were HUGE, but more street with it.
The first person to really push that White Jesus nonsense was Fraudye West. As Sway rightly pointed out, dude made a pop gospel record and rode the Pac "dualities" real hard. Except Koonye was pop from the get-go. and Pac not so much.
on another note, Sway strikes me as someone who is deeply religious. I see him trying to push the agenda low-key in certain interviews

How Sway?
I don't knock it, but I don't jam it either.
is it accepted by mainstream?
Hell no, Kanye even told us in his first record that rapping about God don't get you no where.
until I hear a christian rap song on hot 95 or local radio or someone bumping that shyt with they system all the way up then it's not accepted by mainstream.
these record labels don't want nikkas running to the church, they want us running to the strip clubs, the trap houses, the lean man, ect. etc. record labels ain't about to let no nikka get his soul saved

except it was a massive record and Ye was clearly lying. Look up the stats. and if you were around at the time, you know how HUGE this record was for Ye. It's THE record (also with All Falls Down) that cemented Kanye as a legit rapper in the eyes of the Black community, particularly among Black women.
Saying "rapping about God don't get you nowhere" is that typical "we Christians are so prosecuted" nonsense that Christians are always trying to pull. Always trying to pretend like society at large aint trying to hear them, wanna keep them from their God and preventing them from expressing their faith, when in fact they're the largest group of believers in the fukking world. And the truth is that they're the ones trying to force religion down people's throats.
Record labels want whatever will make money. and the fact of the matter is that it's believers that buy into that strip club/trap house shyt far more than anyone else. It's a two-way hypocrite system that has strip clubs, liquor stores and churches in the grimiest of places (and nothing else). shyt's an ecosystem of fukkery.
