You changed my son's life at 14. He went on a youth excursion. He saw you there, all I heard for about 2 months. Mom can you buy me Lacrea's CD. I was like who is that. So I looked you up, bought your cd, you would have thought I bought him a game for his system. All I could say thank You Lord for Lacrea. Thank you oh so much. He is 26 now and still listens to your music!!!
Oops spelled your name wrong. Forgive me
Wonderful testimony
Beautiful
Bro you're deceived lecrae's just looking out for his own Pockets he needs to tell people about JESUS more and children should be following JESUS not Lecrae the truth hurts now y'all could get triggered I don't care ima tell the truth Lecrae is nothing but a false getting money for himself instead of spreading the gospel if you don't believe me just pray to Jesus ask Jesus if what I'm telling you is true 😎

6 Jesus said unto him, I am [a]that Way, and that Truth, and that Life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
16 [a]For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth [b]in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
18 And am alive, but I was dead: and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen: and I have the keys of hell and of death.

Christian rappers (or rappers that are Christian) are really lyrical activists. We need freedom of speech, and it "seems" like major labels restrict artists in that aspect.
It’s a business 1st and that’s what many artist regardless of who they are a lot of times forget. You are their investment, so they hand you money, and expect you to bring them something back they can sell.... well like with any investor if they don’t know how to sell what you’re supplying them with they will be more reluctant to invest more until shown some proof. Hence this is why any artist who wants to make certain kinds of music and be free in any kind of way shouldn’t work with a label, because you have to earn that freedom to say what you want when it’s their money at stake.
Major labels are payed to suppress freedom of speech and religious views! They only promote Satan and drugs and money and sexual content which gets people who listen to it away from God! Radio wouldn't play this stuff unless it was an independent radio station like k-love
@@patientlywaiting4mykingsou49 You forgot something else. Drug dealers, mafia, politicians, secret agencies, etc, also manipulate the radio stations to play certain songs to either endorse their products or brainwash a certain agenda or trend to the audience. Now, Christians do have the spending ability to also manipulate radio station to play Christian music, but for some ODD REASON, Christian churches and businesses and Christian record labels don't do it.
Lyrical freedom for sure
PatientlyWaiting 4MyKing/SouloDad thats not it at all. The artist are made by the labels what songs they make, the clothing they wear, how to look and how they want you to represent out in public. As long as you willing to do that then they will put out all the resources they have. musicians have a term of selling your soul to devil but what that is meaning is everything I just mentioned yeah you will make millions but at giving up your artistic freedom.
Yep, a Label is a BANK, period..
Therefore they have no problem feeding ego/carnality/sin/lust because this is what FINANCES the Operations of the Bank..
"If you don't know whose you are and who you are, it can be EASY to get LOST in the MATRIX."
It's easy to get entangled.. 😅
These record labels are ran by the secret society!
Lecrae has to be the realest artist out here
He's definitely one of them
I agree with Gabe!
@@patientlywaiting4mykingsou49 who come to mind when you think of other like him?
and my boy NF
Him and NF
imma need everyone who gave Lecrae a hard time for joining Columbia to send him an apology and support him for who he is in Christ!
Honestly.
Facts
Sadly, people are too prideful to admit they were wrong!! Pride comes before the fall
@@TrevWILL79 Yup its that Self righteous spirit
Where those suckers at? *Crickets*
I love how "set me free" is playing in the background. Very apropos.
So accurate
“If you don’t know who you are and Who’s you are.” Well our man
Lecrae out here giving us game on the music industry....God bless you brother! Been a fan since Real Talk
Right! It made me think 1. When God give you an assignment it doesn't matter what others think. 2. You can't please people
3. People will pass judgment but only worry about God's judgment 4. Know who you are and whose you are 5. God opens door no man can open or shut 6. Don't worry about what people think about you 7. Press toward the mark and continue to Love and serve the Lord no matter what.
More like lecrae out here throwing up 666 in our faces I can’t believe y’all don’t see the signs. People are so easily deceived!
Since real talk ,so do I
Yes!
Same since real talk
Sum it up, Labels are BUSINESSES, and will treat your art form in a business manner with monetary value as a priority. Whereas independent artists can release freely and work as they wish, artists through a label will have to work through THEIR process. They are expertise in their field, and they know how to break a record. But that means you have to sacrifice your control of the music, it's not necessarily evil, that's just how the business works. They will invest millions into you as an artist, but you will have to come to terms with the fact you are a BRAND to them.
Well said!!
Yuup.
🙏🏽 “Know who you are and whose you are.” That’s BIG! Keep pushing Crae! 🙌🏾
It hit harrrddddd
@HipHopNewz remembering ur identity in Christ & as a child of YHWH basically.. 💎
I figured this is what happened... Continue to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit... allow the Lord to order your steps. Many blessings always ... Kudos to you Brother Lecrae.
Love this guy! I regret I ever hated on him 💯 Much respect.. I salute him
He's the realest! Real humble dude!
Lecrae took a lot of hits from both the church and the world to be where he is. He’s found the sweet spot and the balance to be who he is.
@@simbalesliechoto8663 well said
I can't tell you how many people I've hated on who I love today,.. we live and we learn brotha 🙏🏾 God bless you
This is one of the greatest artist ever in our generation without a doubt!
You’re from his generation
Listen to Bryann Trejo from kindom muzic if you want deep Christian music
vTarpz NO CAP
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
#NB: Thankful to God for this move.
How do I explain doing a 9-5 with a company that happens to be an unbeliever, do l quit my job?
@@dayosonictv 😭
The Bible verse you quoted doesn't correlate with the post bro.
@Blessed Vocals i didn't understand hence the questioning u got the answer to my question?
Dayo sonic Col 3:23 “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men” once you’ve stopped Doing what you do for the Lord and start doing it for self, love of money or worldly possessions, we’ve missed the point why we are still here after being born again.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
- John 3:16-21
I love how you’re preaching the Gospel of salvation in the comments man! Someone is gonna see this and get saved I’m sure! Keep doing it and being a light and blessing for this world. May Jesus and all His joy and peace be with u!!❤️
Yes fax keep preaching the gospel
I wonder why pizzagate
Hallelujah brother love seeing gospel out here
I always saw that Lecrea was doing God’s work this whole time. Sometimes God tells you to go places others might not understand but I always saw good fruit coming from him. That’s how I knew he never swayed away from Jesus.
Yep. God will tell you to do things people don't understand or agree with. At the end of the day we are to follow Christ and his orders a d not people who didn't die on the cross.
@@mrsbdubc2174 oh amen to that
I went to his concert and he never failed to mention the Lord and just drop some words of encouragement.
Real leaders know when it's time to reverse course and bring a relationship to an end. Shows the kind of man you are Lecrae! You had a lot of people who wanted this relationship to fail. It would have been easy to stay just to avoid that, but your humility led the way. I'm excited for what's next!
I lost my dad 4 days ago, and your shirt says his birthday. January 5th. It made me smile that I chose to watch this today, and lecrae, I just want you to know your music has helped save my life from the path I once walked. Thank you for sharing the gift God gave you because its given me strength
Who ever reads this have a great day
Speed 36 you okay?
I'm good
Thank you :D u too bro
You too!
Such, a surprising Question to experience & I've thank you, in all you do @Speed Knight
I'm grateful that I finally decided to listen to Lecrae's music!!! I've enjoyed everything I've heard so far and appreciate your mission in life!!! May God continue to bless you 🙏😇
I’m glad you started listening to his music! He is such a great artist, a great person and his music is awesome! I have seen him in concert 7 times and met him 3x! He is just so real and you can feel his pain and hurt in his music.
I love the people that keep it real. The ones that don't let money and/or fame, change them. And from what I've heard about him, I would love to meet him! He seems very humble
Welcome to the Reach Fam💕💕 God bless you. If you have Spotify and want good Christian music or artists let me know. I will drop some names
That fact he publicizes his struggles on social media takes real strength! I applaud you! Keep doing God's good work🤗❤
I love lecrae's music and I'm a woman who isnt into rap but the lyrics tell a story and I love that

It’s really nice to hear a number one artist talking about relationships like this in the music industry. It’s not very often that you hear someone being as transparent as he is. Thanks for the upload, I found it very insightful.
Bro I love how real you are in this video. I've been maneuvering the music industry for over a decade and you seem legit. God bless man!
Thank you, Lecrae.
Love it! Come on Lecrae! Let's get the mission...
Kinda figured this was why. Thanks for sharing!!!
That Last Part was REAL!!! Salute Kuzz 🔥🔥🔥🖖🏾
Really helpful! Thank you.🤎
Jumped in the bed with them demons and quickly realized all the rumors and stories was true.
Great advice. I love that Lecrae music. Keep dropping those hits!
You were dynamic and full of the spirit your first three albums. Unfortunately the fruit your heart bears now is shallow and empty. Praying for you.
Anomaly was the last Lecrae CD I bought. The last GOOD Lecrae CD I bought was Church Clothes 1.
Awesome brother thank you for sharing very insightful.
Well said. Smart business man. May God continue to bless you!
LOVE YOU !! IM SO PROUD OF YOU!
So much Blessings to you! I am glad you are doing what you feel are doing. I think The artist should be the boss! Thank you for all you do for our children. Loved seeing Preacher King building ✝️❤️🌹✝️
Selah. The rabbit hole goes deep. Happy for you 🔥👼🌴🌺
