Rockwilder speaks on Gospel Hip Hop Album

Written by All Star Communications
Wednesday, 09 April 2008
Rockwilder, the production point man behind some of Hip Hop and R&B's most successful artists,' recently chatted with DJ Wade-O and the Wade-O Radio Show in Rockwilder's first Christian Radio interview since announcing his decision to rap the Gospel. With his mind focused, now, on producing an album comparable to an "ill Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg Christian album," Rockwilder is on a mission and "feel[s] good going back to [his] Christian roots." Proclaiming his testimony and reason for the shift in his career along with long time friend Whuteva, who also left the secular industry to release a Gospel album, Rockwilder speaks on the next endeavors of his business into the extreme sports arena and his thoughts on the HHH community.

If these secular rappers have been truly transformed and truly accepted Christ, then it is cool to make a Christian Album. However, we don't need any more Secular "Christians" making that one song about God and the rest of the songs on their album about glorifying sin, pride and material things. Lord please have mercy on us, please don't allow this beautiful music you created for us to get watered down by secular "Christians" report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 Please don't....stay where you are.... written by Crusader918, May 02, 2008 an "ill Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg Christian album"?!!!! awwwww man...please tell these secular producers and rappers to first get saved, join a church, get on the frontline for Jesus, THEN...you can do your Christian rap thing....we don't need secular rappers and secular producers in the Christian rap ministry....All you do is harm the credibility of the Christian rap ministry...I'm sorry but all of a sudden secular rap and hip-hop can't make money anymore, NOW it's time to come over to the other (God's)side? Gimme a break...yeah I said it!!!! Just call me a Pentacostal legalist, I guess... Don't get me wrong...I believe in forgiveness and grace, but who's next? DMX? Rockwilder? Timbaland? Nas? Jay-Z? Public Enemy? Lil' Kim? Sounds like a twisted agenda (money thing) to me. Slow down guys...God is the standard here.. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +2 ... written by heartBeat, April 14, 2008 its good we need more soldiers out there report abuse vote down vote up Votes: -1 Write comment Name Email Website Title Comment smaller \| bigger Subscribe via email (Registered users only) Bookmark with:
