Thi’sl Addresses Global Persecution in New Music Video

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94KGfRsfnj0?rel=0] From his forthcoming album Fallen King releasing May 6th, Thi’sl drops a visual for the 2nd single “Take My Life”. The song features Thi’sl and two fellow St. Louis rappers – Flame, and Json. Thi’sl said “Last year when I saw the rise of attacks against Christians in places like Peshawar, Pakistan where 85 believers were murdered at All Saints Church or in Nairobi, Kenya where 70 plus were killed at the shipping center, I wanted to make a rally song that would communicate to believers around the globe,” Thi’sl said. “I wanted to encourage Christians to be courageous in times of persecution, and to send a message to our brothers and sisters far away letting them know that we see what’s happening and we are praying and standing with them.” Follow Thi’sl on Twitter @thisl.

Skrip “Stop It” music video

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyL5Z23LxgE?rel=0&w=620&h=349] Many chase dreams of stardom and hope to get there on the stage and through a microphone. Many in Hip Hop idolize those who propagate negativity. “Music was made for more than perpetuating negativity, and if you’ve got the gift you don’t need to try to copy anyone else; give people a breath of fresh air.” says Skrip. In his song “Stop It” he encourages those who are pursuing a platform to give up while their ahead if they are going to add to the negativity within the Hip Hop culture. Skrip realizes that not many will receive his message well and states, “Music with a meaning is what lacks in popular Hip Hop, and “Stop It” is bound to step on some toes-deservedly.” Although serious in the song approach, Skrip is a funny guy as communicated in the visual for “Stop It”.

Preston Perry – Chicago’s Hope

In the past three years, the city of Chicago has suffered from street violence that has made national news countless times. Last year alone, Chicago had over five hundred murders. This year, we’re already in a position to break that record. This poem “Chicago’s Hope’ was laid on Preston Perry’s heart to write 4 years ago, so he did. Now with the consistent epidemic of murder, gang violence, and street violence still plaguing the city – Preston felt compelled to make a video and release it to the public. His prayer is that this video will help spark real change. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFHkgi49ZX0?rel=0&w=640&h=360] Follow Preston Perry on Twitter (@Preston_n_Perry).

Kanye West's Infatuation With Jesus

The views and opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of AllHipHop.com We’re all made in the image of God. Kanye West wants to be God. Hip Hop has always been about braggadocio antics and ego, but believe it or not there is a ceiling to what people will approve of. Kanye West has walked that fine line and is about to step over it. But is this really anything new? Rappers have been referring to themselves as things that they aren’t since the beginning. When you lie, you have to continue to create new lies to support the original lie. In hip hop, the titles and bragging have escalated from the dopest emcee, ambassador of a region, gangster, baller, don, killer, king of a region, king of hip hop, best to ever do it, Makaveli (Tupac), Hov (Jay-Z), a God, Rakim (a Five Percenter) and now Yeezus. I’m not really shocked. The infatuation with Jesus has been with Kanye since he hit the mainstream with “Jesus Walks.” In ’06 Kanye said that he should be in a revised version of the Bible. He didn’t just liken himself to Jesus on the 2006 Rolling Stone cover, he posed as him – crown of thorns and all. And most recently of course the rumor that his new album would be titled ‘I Am God’ and then ‘I Am A God’, to finally the recent rumor/leak the title will actually be Yeezus. You can call it art or metaphorical and lie to yourself all you want but Kanye is no different than the countless men in the past that have worshipped and created idols, or lied to themselves by thinking that they are equal to God or God himself. He is the furthest progression in hip hop toward thinking and/or trying to get others to think that he is the greatest ever. That progression naturally moves to blasphemy by putting himself on the highest level possible – God. I would wager that Kanye is just creating a buzz for his new album and testing the waters to see if the masses would accept it, and end up changing the album title.
