I didn't him talk about Kendrick Lamar; but what Lecrae was saying about Tupac was that he liked that Tupac showed duality in his rhymes. His duality is his constant acknowledgements that while he isn't perfect and that he tries be a better person(good), he still stands up for who his is, beliefs and convictions, however flawed they maybe("bad"). He admires the honesty and truth in his verses no his mistakes.
When Lecrae said "you can talk about anything except for Jesus" he was refering to a lyric in Jesus Walks by Kanye West. Look up his testimony if you dont think he is a Christian. If you believe in God or not is on you but if you dont I want you to ask yourself this what if when you die you see God face to face? Do you realize you wont get a second chance? This question is for everyone and please dont reply as soon as you read this but take the time to really be honest about it.
Direct qoute from Lecrae's 'Unashamed' memoir "The interview was parsed by Christian critics who accused me becoming 'worldly.' But I was just nervous." ...He was nervous in this interview guys..thats all.
He built up a huge Christian fan base just to turn around and say he is not a Christian artist. Lauren Daigle did the same thing. They're both fake Christians
I don't think he's changed as much as he has evolved. It's crazy to say that one's mindset is going to stay the same for 10 years. He's seen more, probably met some of the artists,and heard their hearts. Ultimately, I think he's stayed consistent with the pure message of Jesus Christ, but still being real with the issues of life.
Great job Lecrae. Keep loving everyone in Christ's name. Don't let people stereotype you or judge you for reaching out to people. Jesus came to save sinners, not condemn them. Thankyou for showing Christ's love to everyone, and not just fellow believers. Keep it up!
Don't be fooled by him! He doesn't want to be called a Christian artist, he wants to be a hip hop artist, remember?!! And lauren daigle is the same way!!! They both built up their Christian fan base just to turn around and say they're not Christian artists. Fake Christians!
People shut the door on Lecrae because he spits stuff people don't WANT to hear. But it's many times what they NEED to hear. Then they want to doubt his sincerity of his relationship with Christ because of others' (Christians) downfalls or their own ignorance of the redeeming power the Cross. I've met this guy, he took time to play basketball with a few country kids from Kansas. He took time to speak hope to kids who don't feel like they have any. He's not Jesus but he is one of his followers.
ok when lacrae says "you can talk about anythin but Jesus" he was refuring to Kanye West's song "Jesus Walks". kanye says that statement in his song and what he basically meant was that people would listen to a song n like it untill someone says something about Jesus, like in order to keep ur fans u got to stay away from the"religious" stuff. N thats completely true. thats the reason why u dont hear Lacrae on mainstream radio stations.
and to understand why God never stops getting glory and why we are to never stop giving it, is because we are his creations, and we give glory to other creations instead of the creator. God is the embodiment of Love, which is impossible to fully comprehend, yet that is another reason he deserves all glory.
I think he using this platform to draw people closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. so let him used his talent to draw people closer to God. Stay On Track With Jesus!
there are messages in their songs that you can still take away. Obviously it's not the same, but there is still messages that can be taken away. It could always serve as some sort of inspiration. Another thought could be that working with secular artists could help push them toward God and also their listeners
I have a few questions, 1. Do you feel Hell is unjust 2.What do you think Hell is like, brief description 3.How do you think satan feels about you or any other human?
we ourselves made a debt we never had a chance to pay for. he showed us mercy and forgave and forgot our debt bc he loves us that much. he wishes none would perish, and he is asking us only what he was willing to do himself first, he said FOLLOW ME, not do as i say(like pharisees).
When it comes to Christian Rap.. " Bizzle's the Man" .. I'm trying to warm to Lacrea... but something just dont feel right.. Bizzle's a true rep for the Lord and i encourage all to look him up.. Changed my life for real. God over Money.. That's the Movement.. Young Fly & Saved...
Not to mention my personal testimony is full of situation that many would not survive. I am living proof that God is real because my own will would not allow me to begin to think of changing. My heart was so cold I was so possessed by self and what made natural sense it took a life altering "supernatural" experience to change me. God loves you whether it makes sense or not and if you believe it your soul is Saved.
The reason why half of y'all don't understand why he is saying what he is is because you aren't viewing each other the way he is. Lecrae looks at everyone with love and sees us all as equals no matter how you live or act or are. Jesus told us to love and that's what Lecrae is doing.
All glory to God bro. I don't care to spend time on artists to much. For me; I used to get so caught up in the world and realized I was emulating bits and pieces of different artists styles to try and form my own which was very eclectic in a sense. It is definitely harder to listen to the Lord and be the unique soul which He has made us all to be, especially in this day and age of multiple influences everywhere we turn. Love you in Christ. May Jesus bless you dear brother.
i used to be a christian, i used to go to church and i used to believe. i have prayed numerous times asking god to reveal himself to me, nothing ever happened. i no longer read the bible to "search for answers," i read it to recognize all of the flaws, contradictions and the evil atrocities that were performed by god so that when i have these conversations, i can bring them up. when i was a christian, i didn't have doubts that christianity was just a bunch of lies. i blindly believed.
yes, He is, yet He still gave His life for all who are willing to receive it. and yes also, He did give you faith, whether you choose to use it or not is up to you. the sacrifice on the cross was for you, me, and all who would accept it...
what is his will and how do you know this? how do you know that i have not attempted to know for years what "his" will is only to arrive at the conclusion that "he" does not exist?
'crae is a good God fearing guy, he speaks the word in his lyrics. whoever wanna hate can just keep on hating and crae ma keep on telling the truth. and i want lecrae to know he is my own tu-pac cause he inspires me like pac did to him. you atheists should go listen to crae's "don't waste your life"
silvanus silas I don't think that song is a message to atheists because if it were it's just presumptuous and ignorant, and that doesn't strike me as lecrae's personality. I think it's a message to other christians.
i was a christian for years and my name is a joke to me. i am being respectful, i am just asking questions that christians don't seem to ever ask themselves. i am not making jokes about people's faith, i am asking questions that christians continuously seem to dance around.
Evaluate what you just said. "He used to condemn secular rappers." Jesus condemns no one. "For there is no condemnation for us in Christ Jesus...." So he is growing in his faith. Pulling the others in. I would watch what you say. God is using his music in a mighty way.
well i think that some people listen to lecrae and already have this decision before listening-in to ignore all of his suggestions, Ignore all of his ideas, ignore all his Interpretations of Gods love and peace and his desire for us to know his voice and his love,and decide I gonna listen to some Good HIP-HOP music and Not feel that i have to change my life because
i'm on this page because i made a comment months ago that perpetuated into a series of conversations. i do read the bible but just because something is in the bible, it doesn't mean that the complete opposite is not also in the bible. for example, i saw your comment about a rich man getting into heaven. the bible says that riches are a blessing (job 42:12, prov 10:22) and that poverty is a blessing (luke 6:20, 24) and that neither poverty nor riches are a blessing. (prov 30:8,9) so, which is it?
When did Lecrae call a man wicked in this entire video? and I'm a newly converted Christian so I'm just going off what I know, but I believe that there's a verse in the bible that states that as the Lord's sheep, we must go amoungst wolves in order to get God's word out to the masses..and there was also another verse that said "for he who judgeth another, shall first need to judgeth himself" (I know-not the verse exactly) but you know what I mean?..nobody is perfect-even Christians have fault:-/
Really? Cause "Gravity" topped all other hip hop albums on the charts up at number 3. Even though selling records isn't what it's all about, he still pulls it off.
fair enough, you are entitled to your own beliefs. i once had the same mindset, and I think as humans we are inclined to not believe anything without proof. its just that the way that God has opened my mind to understand this world I understand that there is more than just "seeing". thats the way i see it (no pun intended). lol. and I believe that the new testament is a continuation of the old testament, in the way that it fulfills many of the prophecies mentioned in the OT. equally correct.
yeah i think he would call for some respect and gratitude. (speaking for myself) just bc im a christian doesn't mean i have a blueprint or the very reasons for gods plans but it usually ends with for his glory.
Also, how can I verify a book you are questioning without quoting it? What part are you questioning? The translation? Do you not think that we have accurate copies? Because I can easily refute that. Or do you just question that it was inspired by God?
do you believe that the old testament and new testament are equally correct or do you believe that the new testament is more correct than the old testament?
No sense in my fellow Atheists coming to Lecrae videos starting crap.Regardless of what Lecrae is about/raps about ,he has skill and that has to be respected!
hey, anybody know what song is that beat from at the end ?
I didn't him talk about Kendrick Lamar; but what Lecrae was saying about Tupac was that he liked that Tupac showed duality in his rhymes.

@Kisstaye1 that "pyramid" on his shirt is the sign for his album rehab its three r's in a circle
Direct qoute from Lecrae's 'Unashamed' memoir "The interview was parsed by Christian critics who accused me becoming 'worldly.' But I was just nervous." ...He was nervous in this interview guys..thats all.
Wayne Clark ok. you are entitled to your opinion but you don't obviously have to listen.
He built up a huge Christian fan base just to turn around and say he is not a Christian artist. Lauren Daigle did the same thing. They're both fake Christians
You doing a great job man , keep it up god will bless you more.
I luv u Lecrae! Always finding the best in people
Always love HardKnock interviews.
Its from the church clothes mixtape, its called 'Darkest Hour' feat No Malice
we all may have different views but let us that do worship him worship him with love :) lecrae's music changed my life
I don't think he's changed as much as he has evolved. It's crazy to say that one's mindset is going to stay the same for 10 years. He's seen more, probably met some of the artists,and heard their hearts. Ultimately, I think he's stayed consistent with the pure message of Jesus Christ, but still being real with the issues of life.
Lots of words but the spirit is still the same. Same spirit which was at work in Tupac is at work in this man. You serve the same master.
yeah man, imma try and go to one of his concerts man
Now Church Clothes is in the History books as well as Gravity. His popularity and the popularity of Gospel Rap is rising.
Romans 1:16. It's kind of Lecrae's theme verse. He also founded the 116 Clique, which is based off the same verse.
Great job Lecrae. Keep loving everyone in Christ's name. Don't let people stereotype you or judge you for reaching out to people. Jesus came to save sinners, not condemn them. Thankyou for showing Christ's love to everyone, and not just fellow believers. Keep it up!

The title of the song is "Live and let live"

You're the man, Lecrae. Thanks for the inspiration!
People shut the door on Lecrae because he spits stuff people don't WANT to hear. But it's many times what they NEED to hear.

I have a few questions,
1. Do you feel Hell is unjust
2.What do you think Hell is like, brief description

I see so much hostility in between parties of the faith more so than I see hostility between those of the faith and those not of the faith.

we ourselves made a debt we never had a chance to pay for. he showed us mercy and forgave and forgot our debt bc he loves us that much. he wishes none would perish, and he is asking us only what he was willing to do himself first, he said FOLLOW ME, not do as i say(like pharisees).

When it comes to Christian Rap.. " Bizzle's the Man" .. I'm trying to warm to Lacrea... but something just dont feel right.. Bizzle's a true rep for the Lord and i encourage all to look him up.. Changed my life for real.

Lecrae, you're the man.

Lecrae is awesome! Praise God!!!
Context is a major player when reading the Word of God... Stil praying for you.
Not to mention my personal testimony is full of situation that many would not survive. I am living proof that God is real because my own will would not allow me to begin to think of changing. My heart was so cold I was so possessed by self and what made natural sense it took a life altering "supernatural" experience to change me. God loves you whether it makes sense or not and if you believe it your soul is Saved.
LOVE me some Lecrae!! :)
i can't wait for Gravity to come out Sept 4 2012
Lecrae's "Live & Let Live" ft. Statik Selektah
The reason why half of y'all don't understand why he is saying what he is is because you aren't viewing each other the way he is. Lecrae looks at everyone with love and sees us all as equals no matter how you live or act or are. Jesus told us to love and that's what Lecrae is doing.
You go hard lecrae.
All glory to God bro.
I don't care to spend time on artists to much.

It is definitely harder to listen to the Lord and be the unique soul which He has made us all to be, especially in this day and age of multiple influences everywhere we turn. Love you in Christ. May Jesus bless you dear brother.
I 100% agree with you, his style has changed. you cannot mix secular with what is sacred.
AMEN! Brother/Sister
By what standard? Lecrae is one of the strongest Christians I know of.
I can't tell if Lecrae is slipping or on the right track. What i do know is this, pray for him, only GOD can save you, me, or Lecrae.
that Good news!!! ...Lecrae ftw
Amen brother!
i used to be a christian, i used to go to church and i used to believe. i have prayed numerous times asking god to reveal himself to me, nothing ever happened. i no longer read the bible to "search for answers," i read it to recognize all of the flaws, contradictions and the evil atrocities that were performed by god so that when i have these conversations, i can bring them up. when i was a christian, i didn't have doubts that christianity was just a bunch of lies. i blindly believed.
1:16 I am Unashamed

Awwww Man I
so, do you follow all of the 613 commandments that are in the old testament?
Live & Let Live
