Lately, there has been so much talk about rappers and other artists selling their souls to the devil for money, fame, power and influence. Rapper Jay-Z is rumored to be linked to some ancient evil organization. People are suspecting that Rihanna and Beyoncé have images and lyrics in their videos that point to evil and are trying to figure out who bought their souls too? Every few years or so, rumors start spreading about different celebrities and whether or not they have “sold their soul to the devil.”
It is hard to watch a music video of any genre and not see images and hear words that directly oppose the church. But lately, hip hop has been under fire. With groups like Ex Ministries that make no apologies about calling hip hop demonic, it throws so many people in my age group in an argument that has a very clear answer.
We can speculate all day about the beginnings on hip hop, the intentions of music labels and whether artists worship demonic spirits or not. But one thing that we cannot sit on the fence about is God’s word. Either art is made to glorify God or it isn’t. There really is no in between. There is NO argument that there is a lot of hip hop music with distinct anti-Christian messages. One cannot be a Christian and condone messages or blasphemy, idolatry, adultery, fornication and intoxication, no matter what the beat sounds like.
