SYNOPSIS
Hip-hop has an incredible built-in potential to be used as a vehicle to herald the gospel, teach doctrine, and lead people…
I used to not really get the reason for diss tracks. Like, I got that it was still good music, but I feel like there isn't much to making music just around dissing someone.
There are things we talk about as our influences and things we don't, because they are, at this point, just part of you. Eurodance is one of those things for me. It's all fucking terrible and sounds exactly the same, but it got its claws into my little tween brain and never let go.
Anyways, have a list (Spotify, YouTube here) of the shit I mainlined in my youth. I feel like it will explain a lot.
