Good Music

It's hard to be an artist these days. The industry is flooded with so much music that I think most people are fatigued by the overwhelming promotion that's done, especially on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Myspace. On top of that if you're a Christian hip hop artist you get even less looks by the average person, because if a person is not a Christian they typically won't be interested in your music and if they are Christian, they are probably turned off by the fact that you do hip hop music.

I don't make music for fame or financial gain, however I can't continue to pursue a career as an artist if there isn't much support. It's just too time consuming to continue doing it with little or no support...

I'm sorry I'm not trying to complain, God has covered me with so much grace and has provided me all that I need. I'm just saying that if the music that I'm making is glorifying the Lord and it's good music on top of that, show your support. I mean that not only pertaining to me but for any artist that is making good music for the purpose of spreading the Gospel. Because honestly music that is lifting up violence, sex, drugs, and all other nonsense gets more support than positive, encouraging, and inspiring, music.

Jay Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, T.I. ect... All big names in the hip hop industry. Yeah I get that they are talented at their craft, but have you heard what these guys talk about? Jay Z basically calls himself God, Eminem lifts up almost everything that is evil (rape, homosexuality, drug abuse murder). T.I. and Lil Wayne glorify anything that is not Godly. These artists get artist get support from around the world and sell millions of records every time they have a new release. Nothing good comes out of their mouths... I don't get it...

I don't condone it but I can understand why there are some artist/bands that start off making music that promotes Christ and then turn secular once they realize that most people don't support Christian music.

I'm sorry if this blog comes off the wrong way, I'm just venting. But the point that I'm trying to make is support good music ya'll, go to concerts and buy albums of artists and bands that are making music that promotes the Gospel, otherwise there could be a time when there is no good music left...
