Secular Rapper DMX Performs Gospel Song on Dr. Drew Life Changers Show?

Rapper DMX Performs Gospel Song on Dr. Drew Life Changers Show?

Thanks to C.W. for a tip on this one! This is actually pretty sickening to see. Now that rapper DMX has been released from prison, he apparently has a change of mind and a change of heart. He performs a song called “Keep You Head Up”. At first we thought it was just a spin off the late rapper Tupac’s song but he has actually rapping about God. To be more accurate, he’s taken the 1970′s song, “Keep You Head to the Sky” by Earth, Wind and Fire and turned it into a gospel rap song. DMX did something similar to Mary Mary on the Black Girls Rock! show this month- turning EWF’s secular song and twisting it along with another gospel song.

Kirk Franklin and Steve Harvey Portray Their Feminine Side in Church Version “Coming to America” Skit

Kirk Franklin and Steve Harvey Portray Their Feminine Side in Church Version “Coming to America” Skit

This video, starting at 4:00 is pure ignorance with an effort to feminize the gospel. Eddie Murphy’s “Coming to America” in the 1980′s may have been funny then but it surely is not funny anymore- especially with Kirk Franklin and Steve Harvey playing the roles. Its nothing short of bubblegum gospel at its finest. SMH

New Music From Sounds of Blackness Inducts Them Into Bubblegum Gospel Music Hall of Fame

I remember speaking on this about a month ago when I heard gospel, R&B, black spiritual group Sounds of Blackness announce they were coming back to the music scene after being absent for many years. When I was in high school, I was a huge fan of R&B music and Soul music. If many of you don’t remember the genre Soul music, it was music made by artists who could sing with soul and from the soul like Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin and Luther Vandross to mention a few (sidebar).

Parent company RCA closes casket on well known labels.

RCA has announced they are dissolving Arista, Jive and J Records and putting what’s left under one umbrella.

“My vision for RCA is to be more of a music company,” said RCA CEO Peter Edge to The Hollywood Reporter. “You have to reinvent, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Rapper T.I. Released From Prison: Is He Tired Living Like a Gangster?

We talk about how we all need to take responsibility for our actions and deal with the consequences but what we would like see is entertainers leading example for others? Some people in the entertainment industry many times feel they are invincible and untouchable but time and time again they are proven wrong when the cops catch up with them. Many hip hop artists and rappers who continue to have to prove they are high paid gangsters by carrying guns and drugs. Some of those rappers would be DMX, Lil’ Wayne, Suge Knight, etc.
