82	Talk This Way: A Look at the Historical Conversation Between Hip-Hop and Christianity Swanson, Joshua 01 August 2020 (has links) Christianity and Hip-Hop culture are often said to be at odds with one another. One is said to promote a lifestyle of righteousness and love, while the other is said to promote drugs, violence, and pride. As a result, the public has portrayed these two institutions as conflicting with no willingness to resolve their perceived differences. This paper will argue that there has always been a healthy conversation between Hip-Hop and Christianity since Hip-Hop’s inception. Using sources like Hip-Hop lyrics, theologians, historians, autobiographies, sermons, and articles that range from Ma$e to Tipper Gore, this paper will look at the conversation between Hip-Hop and Christianity that has been ongoing for decades. This thesis will show why that conversation is essential for the church and necessary for Hip-Hop artists to express themselves fully. This paper will show rap and Hip-Hop culture to be a complex institution with its own theology, history, and prophets – that uses its own voice to express how urban youth view not only their lives but also how God and the church are present in their lives. hip-hop christianity history theology Christiain rap african american African American Studies American Art and Architecture American Popular Culture American Studies Biblical Studies Christian Denominations and Sects Christianity Cultural History Ethnic Studies Ethnomusicology History of Christianity History of Religion Modern Art and Architecture New Religious Movements Other American Studies Other Arts and Humanities Other Music Practical Theology Public History Religious Education Social History Sociology of Culture Sociology of Religion United States History Urban Studies and Planning
