i understand that and just like i told menace about the christian hip hop, lets try to jsut respect religion, there is one god anyway for all...i'll ask the same here, its good hip hop either way..u entitle to ur opinion just like menace but just respect it and dont bash here, this is for videos and for the ones who want to share and enjoy them, just like the christian hip hop section. i put them there for enjoyment.. lets discuss this in the discission sections.

hate for who? and Lethaface thats same for Christian hip hop and i don't see u complaining taking one religions side is not good i said and i will say i don't like MC's that use hip hop for religious propagandist reasons thats me and i got a news flash for u LethaFace half or maybe more of the hip hop world are muslims yep check your stats from Mos Def and Talib Kweli to Common and up there to the garbage boy T-Pain its not the problem if they are muslims for me its the problem if they use their music to spread their beliefs if they dont im good

well u most def won't reach far u know that life is more prolific and diverse then a religion and a book i rather be an infidel and speak for the unity of men then bow down and wait for the end of time i grasp the concept that people are diverse 5000 years of history showed us many things i am not "hating" no one i believe secularism made hip hop where it is and it is a social movement no ?? hip hop can be divided by religion just like the world is but we keep strong and we are more then that do what u do but be a purist to the end dont twist it

well is not "muslim" related its about kid soldiers from those in the diamond mines in Africa to those in the middle east and those in the peace zones of the US where kids blow them selfs

and DAMN !! Poor Righteous Teachers thats my type of music and they have like pro-Five-Percenter message but still i like them and Pensmoke understand once and for all in this SITUATION wasn't about religion it was about taste and opinion i replied to Lethaface cause he sided and i told him don't be one sided like that cause its not good for hip hop and i told him my stand on this religion and hip hop thing

more than half the emcee's who say they're muslims aren't probably considered real muslims to the muslims. people like wu-tang, ice cube, rakim, common etc they rap about killing, sex with women (out of wedlock), drugs, alcohol but real muslims aren't allowed these things. Its like some catholics they say they are catholic coz they're parents were but really they aren't catholic.

why u stressing so much whit this are u an islamophob or something ?? yeah half of the hip hop world are some kind of muslims most of them are members of NOI or 5% some of them are Sunni or Shi'a so whats the deal in the black diaspora islam played an important role plus from Malcolm X towards us black people started to convert in greater numbers cause they saw him as a model but i still don't get where are u going whit this

All I said is that if it's true muslim rap - not these fake ass 5% and bullshit who don't even follow the Islam faith but call themselves Muslim- I can't relate cuz I ain't muslim and don't wanna hear it.... same as you with Christian rap..... but a guy like Nas or Some of Wu or whover it may be that still sleep around, do drugs, drink, smoke, fight, etc etc and are So called Muslims..... I'll still listen cuz I can relate to it.

So that being said..... half the hiphop world is Not really Muslim nor does half even claim to be for that matter.

"UNTIL THEY STOP ME, BURY, MURDER ME OR DROP ME, I GOT...THUG LUV FOR MY NATIONWIDE POSSE"

yeah i still listen to them a lot too, and i like some of those religious themed songs from wu-tang such as B.I.B.L.E coz i can really relate to that song and thats one of my all time fave songs
