Conversational Worship Rap

Worship is a Conversation.

Yet, 95% of HipHop Lryix are neither of those things.

Why?

Simple.

Rap cats have a long and strong history of speaking AT people. Seems obvious.

But *WHO* does a rap speak *TO*? Directly? In the Second Person?

Does a hiphop verse ever tell somebody they're special? Or appreciated?

(I know, this question may sound silly to you at first.)

Does it though?

Does a rhyme ever express an outward adoration to another entity?

Example:

YOU are appreciated. YOU are adored. YOU are loved.

If you are a rapper, how do you talk to God when on the mic?

"I love God."

"I love Jesus."

"I am called to serve the Lord."

You know what: DON'T TELL US, TELL HIM! Command a response!

Use words that express and convey an OUTWARD adoration.

I mean, is that what we do? Do we write what we write just to explain things to people?

Is there more to writing rhymes than being an informer of the self?

Even more than a correspondent of the Biblical message?

Can we open our selves up beyond being "explainers?"

Picture this. Is it possible for you to say your rap...

in a closed room...

by yourself... and still have it truly matter to another?

Please answer these questions. Then reflect a bit.

Spit a new 32.

Talk TO God. (Not about Him.)

Intimate, personal, private.

Try.

See what evolves.

peace.
