Does the
World Wide Message Tribe count as
Christian Gansta Rap?
Real, live, I-tell-no-lie lines from some of their songs (and I use the word in the loosest possible sense):
"Jumpin' in da house of God, jump up, Jump in da house, jumpin' in da house of God" (repeat ad infinitum)
...
"Get up your hands, stick 'em up, get 'em up in the air
Get 'em up, up in prayer"
(BTW: how do you spell `air' when it's pronounced with two syllables?)
(^Davion^ points out that it's spelled "Ai-r!" but pronounced "Aéy-eR". It was kind of a rehetorical question, but thanks anyway.)
These vain attempts to make Christianity cool demonstrate the desperation felt among church leaders who see their attendance figures dropping off.
