Reading Assignments

Two online pieces you need to read.

1. My man Edward Shelton asks "Is there a mold for a Christian Hip Hop Artist?"

2. LaRosa Johnson wonders if Holy Hip Hop is Entertainment or Edification?

Also check the link at the end for his meaty Scripture study guide sample to go along with Excelsius' "Change or Die" track from his Liberation album.

Trailblazin Ministries Top 10 Albums of 2008

The big homie LaRosa Johnson released his Top 10 Christian Rap Albums of 2008 list last week. Read it here and let the debating begin.

I don't agree with all his choices, but that's what this is all about right? LJ's got all my respect though. Dude's thorough with his (peep the ranking breakdown chart at the end) and a prolific writer (knocking out 20 something reviews over the Thanksgiving holiday alone) who often puts me to shame.

I'm debating what type of end-of-year list to put together. Last year I did a Top 10 video list and will be working on a Top 10 CHH story list for Wade-O's show in the coming weeks. Let me know if you have a special request though.
