Is Rap destroying Faith and Religion?

What’s up family, I’ve been thinking how I could write this blog differently compared to the ones before. The ones before are cool no doubt, but I’m just thinking how I could switch things up to come up with an argument for the sake of a good debate. So I was searching and I found this very interesting article. For those who can’t be asked to check it (I’d probably be one of them) it’s Bill O’Reilly talking about how rap music is destroying faith and religion. He says the following:
‘The rap industry, for example, often glorifies depraved behaviour. That sinks into the minds of some young people – the group that is most likely to reject religion’.

Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion but for those who know rap music know that’s soo far from the truth. Let’s analyse a few rap songs that show the opposite. 

Kendrick Lamar, the leading rapper of our time, also on the left, talks about the dangers of gang culture and violence in the song ‘I’m Dying of Thirst’, about this issue he raps ‘What are we doing? Who are we fooling? Hell is hot, fire is proven to burn for eternity’. His belief in faith actually comes in to warn the youth not to fall into the trap of a destructive life. 

Another rapper, Lauryn Hill, talks about the nature of life in her song Doo Wop (That Thing), she aims some lyrics at those people who claim to be religious but are not, she says:

‘talking out your neck, saying you’re a Christian, a Muslim sleeping with the gin’

But she always finishes the song with the philosophical line, ‘how you gonna win when you ain’t right within?’ And it’s at this point you have to go back to Bill O’Reilly’s statement...how can music like this destroy faith when really it’s propagating proper faith?! But people actually believe this kind of stuff which is sad; they would argue that rap music is the devil music… which is interesting as the next post is all about the Devil running rap music through the Illuminati!!!

God Speed!!
