A lot has happened and going on at that time in the Holy Hip Hop Movement. You can talk all the junk about G. Craige you want, but can you see, "he cheated on his wife with his good friend and mentor's wife"? It's easy to talk smack when things are going good. Should we call this man Da Truth or Jay-Z's leftovers? With all that is happening in the HHH arena, 3,4, or 5 adulterous affairs, someone must ask, what's going on. Now even though I do not agree with "convictions" April 10, 2008 statement, someone can now easily take that and run with it. - Ex-Sinner Shirt Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:37:51 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-7616 D.A TRUTH IS A WONDERFUL RAPPER PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE JEALOUS OF HIM TRYIN 2 PREACH THE MESSAGE GOD OBVIOUSLY CALLED HIM 2 PREACH THE MESSAGE THROUGH RAP AND HE IS BEING OBEDINT 2 GODS COMMAND CUZ THE BIBLE SAYS "I WILL MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD" IT OBVIOUSLY DONT MATTER HOW AS LONGS AS WE A LIFTING HIM UP WHILE YALL TRYIN 2 DIS DA T.R.U.T.H YALL U 2 BE DISSIN LADY GAGA AND ALL DEM OTHA PEOPLEZ l8TR - mz.starz Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:54:03 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-7557 I love that song : That agreat Day.Could someone give all song “Take my riches, take my fame, take the microphone, take the sta................ - Marcia Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:03:20 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-6740 ok well in some of his songs im hearing words that shouldnt be in a christian artists songs...one of his songs has the N word (i think its ahh man) and im trying to find all the lyrics to his songs in open book..all of his songs period..i really do like him ive seen him twice at acquire the fire and thought he was absolutly amazing ...but it would really help if i knew what he was singing..also in another song it sounds like hes saying the other word for dang but i kno its not bc hes a christian rapper and all that but still what im hearing might be completely different please email me the lyrics to ahh man...bc thats the one im hearing the n word on.. my email is christianchatgurl@hotmail.com - J B Wed, 13 May 2009 15:19:41 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-5998 ARE YOU SERIOUS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?? WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST! HOW IS PUTTING DOWN ANOTHER BROTHER FOR HIS WORK AT ALL GLORIFYING THE KINGDON? HOW CAN SOME OF YOU SAY THAT THIS BROTHER IS NOT DOING GOD'S WORK BECAUSE HE CHOOSES TO DO IT THRU HIP-HOP? HE'S REACHING A GENERATION THAT MAY OTHERWISE NEVER BE REACHED. AND YOU COMMENTERS ON HERE THAT ARE SAYING THINGS LIKE "HIP-HOP HAS NO PLACE IN THE CHURCH" REMIND ME OF THE PHARISEES THAT CHRIST SO PASSIONATELY DESPISED. GOD DOES NOT CARE HOW WE REACH OTHERS OR IN WHAT FORM HIS MESSAGE IS SPREAD AS LONG AS IT IS DONE ACCURATELY AND WITH PURE INTENTIONS. YOU ALL WHO ARE ON HERE JUDGING OTHER BROTHERS AND WHAT GOD BLESSED THEM TO DO MAY BE THE ONES WHO NEED TO SELF-EXAMINATION. ITS DISGUSTING TO SEE SO-CALLED "CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS" BICKERING OVER SOMETHING THAT IS MEANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE CHRIST. YOUR JUDGING NATURE IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! SHAME ON YOU. - GodsAdoptedSon Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:39:21 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-5963 any one with the full lyrics of "rose by da truth feat. lisa mcClendon" plis post. :-) - katz Sun, 15 Mar 2009 04:04:25 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-5548 God bless the day to one and all! A lot of folk here are judging this cat T.R.U.T.H based off of the outter instead of the inner man! That would be like judging a shell based off the shell wouldn't it? If we did this how would we ever know what matter lie within? Notice I said folk on here are judging dude...both those for him and against him! If bruh's words and doctrine is that of God's word who can speak against him? If his agenda has been cleverly thought out and reaches the ears, minds and hearts of folk who don't rightyly divide the scriptures who should give him props? It is more than obvious that bruh has totally lifted SDot's style, articulation, ad libs and nuance right down to iambic pentameter (I would say swag but that is becoming so played out and dated of a saying! Machismo should be the old new saying lol). However, again, if the words line up with God's words...need I say more! Bruh does need to be cautious though when casting stones 'cuz he really has set himself up to insult and redicule if anyone (let alone Jay) decides to go @ him for the jack alone! I can get down with T.R.U.T.H as long as he is spiritually/scripturally correct in his message. I can do w/o the walking around the stage in a seeming "Holy Ghost moment" trance bit though...I mean seriously what's that all about? Holy Spirit marketing? On another note, who is this G. Craig to have the final say in anything at all? Folk talking about "don't worship hip hop" or "these artists have made themselves idols" ect. First off, G. Craig is not the Christ and needs to tell his followers to stop worshipping him as if he wrote anything in the holy scriptures at all! Secondly, in my opinion, to me he is as bad as he claims hip hop or so-called "gospel rappers" are! I've heard so much from this brother and I think a lot of what he says is superfluous and filled with a lot of swagger (man I said the S word!) and arrogance of a person trying to draw men unto them! Bruh has a great audience too: the Older crowed (moms, pops, grandmomma and 'nem) and the youth demographic (those who have been brainwashed into believing ALL things he deems "secular" or "worldly" in fact are just b/c he said so!). This is the same guy who supposedly abhors "hip hop style" clothing but was on YouTube rocking a Kangol cap (I have the same style but blue!). Now didn't Slick Rick namedrop Kangol? Needless to say I don't know what "hip hop" apparel is seeing as I don't think the fabric Kangol, Rocawear, Burberry, Nike, Versace or Levis (to name a few) use a special material that's only meant for "hip hop" (but I could be wrong! Lol). I wonder why G. Craig or whomever hasn't gone after Armani or the Men's warehouse (or Target or Wallmart) seeing as though both REAL gangsters and Pastors; regular folk as well as bangers; good and bad guys wear their articles? Hmmmm...nah...that would be like shooting himself in the foot wouldn't it? Anywho, all in all we MUST ALL remember that God is to be praised, gloried and adored rather than mankind! Render unto man what is man's but render unto God what is God's! We MUST ALL be mindful of what we are putting into our minds just as much as what comes forth from our hearts! In all things God is ALWAYS good and man, even at his best, is a filthy sinner saved by the holy and merciful love and grace of God! It would behoove us ALL as we judge to judge righteously! Amen!

RAP IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REACH THESE KIDS. for a every long time i didnt like listening to christian music cause i couldn't relate to it but now after ive heard truth lecrea and many many more ive really been touched. yall dogging truth aint doin nothin cause God all he cares about is reaching every one in different ways. for example Mathew Mark Luke Jone are the same story told in different ways so that if someone cant relate to one story they can hear the next and its saying the exact same thing. - David wilson Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:55:18 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-3962 Thanks bro a blessed album - DJ Master Chill Sat, 25 Oct 2008 20:57:54 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-3503 I really wish that the body of Christ would would agree on one thing. There is only one treasure that is fitting for our God, and that is a soul that thirst after Him. Only a babe could say that DaTruth sounds like JayZ, the two are no comparison. God rested from His work on the 7th day. The last time I checked the Bible is clear that work was demonstrated by what He said. He said and He saw. Rap is not the enemy the the spirit behind the words is. We should lose the labels such as holy hip hop, for justification it only creates division. Unless Jayz is renewed in the spirit of his mind with the word of God he can never be compared to Da Truth or any other Christian artist who chooses to use the power of words to point people in the direction of God. As this division continues in the Body of Christ the enemy is laughing because he knows the power of word seed and hearing and hearing, and hearing. He has advanced in his tricks and some in the body of Christ want to stay in the early Church years and say "thats not necessary, thats not how Jesus did it". I listened to G Craig, or Craig G, I even bought all of his teachings, but I got a revelation, I am of a korean culture, I speak korean, you want to witness to be about the word of God, and the new lifestyle that I can partake in. Do you shun me away and tell me untill I speak you language I will never know about the goodness of the God you serve or do you speak to me in my language and teach me about this lifstyle and allow me the oppurtunity to develope into what God has truly called me to be. Rap is just a tool. What they are doing is not sin. Its bigger than us people, even the demons know how to agree as long as the mission is to take you out. Are we not greater, that we cant even agree to bring more into the kingdom of God.

I WAS AT FIRST AGAINST HOLY HIP HOP, NOT RAP, BUT THE HOLY HIP HOP, AND THE LORD CORRECTED ME ON MY OUT LOOK ON HOLY HIP HOP. I'VE BEEN A LISTENER OF EXMINISTRIES FOR A YEAR. AND I HAVE TO SAY PASTOR CRAIG LEWIS, POWER FULL TEACHER. HE REALLY DID HIS RESEARCH ON HIP HOP, AND RESEARCH ON THE ERRORS GOSPEL ARTIST MADE AND PASTORS AND THE WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING IN THE CHURCH. BUT THOUGH I'VE BEEN A LISTENER OF EXMINISTRIES MY SEEKING THE LORD DILIGENTLY HASN'T STOPPED. ME READING THE WORD FOR MY SELF HASN'T STOPPED AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HASN'T DECREASED BUT INCREASED INCREDIBLY AND WHAT I'M SAYING NOW, IS THAT THE LORD SPOKE TO ME AND GAVE ME PERSONALLY HIS APPROVAL ON HOLY HIP HOP. HE TOLD ME THAT HE IS ONLY FOCUSED ON SEVERAL THINGS BY MAN AND THAT IS THEIR BELIEF, FAITH, AND TRUST IN HIM, ALONG WITH MAN'S ACTION'S AND THEIR HEARTS. AND THE BLESSED ME WITH THE HONOR TO ACTUALLY TO HAVE A BACK FORTH CONVERSATION WITH HIM. IT WASN'T A LONG CONVERSATION BECAUSE I WAS SHOCKED AND COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE LORD EXCEPTED HOLY HIP HOP, AND ALLOWED ME TO KEEP FEEDING IN TO THE EXMINISTRY MESSAGE AGAINST HOLY HIP HOP NOT HIP HOP (BECAUSE EXMINISTRIES WAS ON THE MONEY BUT THE HOLY HIP HOP). SO TO SHORTEN THIS TESTIMONY, I ASKED THE LORD FOR A REFERENCE IN HIS WORD I CAN READ SO I CAN HAVE AND USE TO SHOW PEOPLE SO PEOPLE WON'T THINK I'M CRAZY LIKE WHEN I HAD MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD AND NOTHING TO SHOW BUT MY CHANGE IN ACTIONS. SO I WANTED SOME REFERNCE OF SCRIPTUE GIVEN FROM THE LORD HIMSELF AND HE HAD ME RESEARCH WHERE HE SPOKE ABOUT A MAN IS NOT DEFILED FROM WHAT HE PUTS IN HIS MOUTH (MATTHEW, 15:11) BUT THE LORD HAD ME READ FROM CHAPTER 15:1-20. SO NOW BEING THE LORD CONFIRMED TO ME HIMSELF THAT HOLY HIP HOP IS EXCEPTABLE TO HIM, I EXCEPT IT, BECAUSE I'M NOT A FOLLOWER OF MAN I'M A FOLLOWER, AND WORSHIPPER OF JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR. SO I PRAY AND ENCOURAGE THE WHOLE BODY OF CHRIST TO SEEK THE LORD YOURSELVES THROUGH PRAYER, FASTING AND THE PRACTICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN ALL ASPECT OF OUR LIVES, AND NOT TO RELY ON MAN TO LEAD YOU TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER NOR EXPECT MAN TO PLACE YOU INTO A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD, YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOUR SELF. READ THE WORD FOR YOUR SELF, AND AKNOWLEDGE THE LORD IN ALL THY WAYS AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS (PROVERBS 3:6) STAY ENCOURAGED. GOD BLESS. LOVE YALL. PEACE. - BELL Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:55:55 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2732 I can't believe some of the comments. Really. I read the comments and I said to myself that I wasn't gonna say anything, but I couldn't help it. This is a real man of Christ. Come on Christians! What is this unwarranted criticism?!? You are unconsciously dividing the body of Christ! This man saves people through his music. Who cares what his name is??? He doesn't even rant about his name on the songs I've heard. I NEVER heard him even say his name over a track. He gives the upmost glory to Christ! WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS GO AFTER THESE FALSE PROPHETS LIKE TODD BENTLEY, OF WHOM ARE SPREADING FALSE DOCTRINE! STOP HATING ON MANNY! BE A REAL CHRISTIAN AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR! Show that love by supporting the fact that this music is saving the generation OF TODAY (80s - Present)! - Nothin But Christ Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:45:39 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2477 How can ya'll say that Da' TRUTH is bitin off of Jay-Z? Isn't holy hip hop bitten of off hip hop? As christians we're supposed to win souls for Jesus, at any cost as long as it stays within the word. - h-town luver Sun, 04 May 2008 07:55:52 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2430 just to clarify, Christ did perform miracles - Jehova Nissi Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:47:46 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2429 To the people saying "Christ did not sing, Christ did not rap" I ask you this.. Did Christ perform miracles? Did Christ live a life full of sin? No, but do you perform miracles, do you live a life full of sin? yes you do. Who are you to say that we cant give him praise just because he didnt do it? Jesus said he who is without sin cast the first stone, and you guys are throwing some very big stones. If you guys are following Craig Lewis, look at how big of a HYPOCRITE he is. Did Jesus watch DVD's....are DVD's worldly?? Yet he is using DVD's as a form of ministry. Look at all the secular movies out there, porn, child porn, and he's usings these tools to bring "glory" to God? Tell me, whats the difference? You people are so blinded with your ignorance that you cant even see your own hypocricy. - Jehova Nissi Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:46:28 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2384 BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE FAITH WHO ARE TRULY ZEALOUS FOR THE LORD IN CLUDING YOU TRUTH (I DON'T KNOW WHY BROTHER YOU CHOSE THAT NAME WHEN THERE'S ONLY ONE TRUTH AND HIS NAME IS JESUS) AND WHO WANTS TO KNOW IF HIP HOP CAN BE REDEEMED OR NOT, CHECK THE TRUTH BEHIND HOLY HIP HOP (THE TROJAN HORSE) BY EXMININSTRIES IT JUST CAME OUT, AND TRUTH I PRAY BROTHER YOU ESPECIALLY WATCH IT BECAUSE THE HIP HOP SPIRIT NEEDS TO BE CAST FROM OUT THE CHURCH, YES BROTHER YOU HAVE THE RIGHT MESSAGE BUT YOUR CARRYING THE WRONG SPIRIT IN YOUR MUSIC AND NOT JUST YOU BUT ALL THE HOLY HIP HOPPERS JUST OFF THE FACT HIP HOP CAN'T BE REDEEMED AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!!!! AND PLEASE BROTHER THIS IS NOT OUT OF ANGER IT'S OUT OF LOVE EVERYONE WHO LISTEN TO HOLY HIP HOP NEEDS TO WATCH THE TRUTH BEHIND HOLY HIP HOP ESPECIALLY YOU TRUTH NO JOKE NOR HATE, I LOVE YOU BROTHER AND IF YOU ARE A TRUE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST YOU WILL KNOW THIS HIP HOP SPIRIT CAN'T BE REDEEMED. GOD BLESS. PEACE. - Bell Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:37:31 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2358 christian rap saves people, simple is that. - Logan Zielke Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:26:09 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2277 Make ya pick, the blue or the red pill/ Tell me which way would you go/ Every mans soul leaves a print in the snow/ But a wise man’ll travel down a rode that is narrow/ He is careful so he’ll never put his hands on the stove/ He already knows that its hot/ Its troublesome when you know that he chose evil/ But he rose to the top/ Like ya boy on the blue print who did it his way/ Before he left said I’m an example that crime do pay/ Now how we goin’ argue with that?/ When we watched him go from gross living to grossing a percentage from the net/ Now he’s a picture of success/ And naturally we take a glance at right/ but a chance at wrong/ Especially when the whole world can chant our songs/ And the folks at the clubs can’t dance alone/ Just cause judgment ain’t sudden don’t mean that it ain’t coming/ So if you plant apple seeds don’t plan for a orange - KBS Sun, 16 Mar 2008 10:30:58 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/542/112/#comment-2276 I just read a comment saying that "Christ did not sing. Christ did not rap". Therefore, how do us as Christians give praise? I'm prettty sure there are songs they sing to God in the BIBLE (they're psalms).What about when the children of Israel crossed over the Red Sea? They started to dance and sing to God. What about Mary in Luke 1:39-55? If she wasn't expressing her love for God by singing or even...I dare say it...speaking (rapping *smile*): "My soul doth magnify the Lord" then can you kindly explain what she was doing? We sing songs to express our love to God!! Maybe the commenter never sang "Jesus Loves Me" or hymns in church---just maybe...? I love to sing to Jesus...Christ gave us the ability to use what we are blessed with (Psalm 150) to give Him the glory. Da Truth probably can't hold a tune to save his life, BUT he has been blessed with the gift of speech; if he chooses to use this gift in rap form? So be it! He doesn't glorify himself, he Glorifies GOD! Be Blessed in the Lord :-) - KBS Sun, 16 Mar 2008 10:16:22 +0100
