No Church in the Wild

I’m noticing a lot going on in music and it has gotten to a point where I feel like typing this out instead of doing a video so it gets across better. Satan in rap is going to another level and nobody seems to care except a select few people. If there are more than who I've heard, I either don’t know about it or they’re saying little to nothing. Rappers in mainstream hip hop are blatantly disrespecting God and everybody’s excuse seems to be “Its just art”, “they’re just being lyrical”, etc. etc. etc. Its getting a bit out of hand how these “big name” rappers are being put on a pedestal and looked at like they’re “untouchable”. Two names come to mind, Jay Z and Kanye West who seem to be going hard against God.

Kanye for one used to be a believer in God. Even though “Jesus Walks” seemed to be so much about Christ when it really wasn’t, but that seemed to be when he figured out he was dealing with something bigger than just rapping (“most of all we at war with ourselves“). Besides the hook itself that song had little to do with Jesus besides the 2nd verse (which still baffles me because he won ‘Gospel‘ awards with that song). After he lost his mom he turned into a completely different artist (if you can’t see that then you shouldn’t even be listening to hip hop at ALL). Two songs in particular that stands out are “Monster” & “Power“. If u watch the monster video he has hands grabbing him from behind bars. Now because they’re all female hands people would say “oh he has women trying to keep a hold of him” (I’ve heard that). Yeah they’re female hands because what dude would want male hands grabbing them in their music video. Look closer and you’ll realize those hands represent the devils that are holding him down and he’s not fighting to get away either. In Power he talks about God having too much power “No one man should have all that power”. Ye knows what he’s doing and people take it at face value instead of looking at the bigger picture.

Jay has taken it to a different level than Kanye has. Now before I even say anymore take into account that on the radio with Angie Martinez of Hot 97 in NYC (the radio show he’s MOST popular on) she asked him was he a devil worshipper or in the illuminati and his exact response was “That’s crazy”. NOW as a dude when we get asked a question about something we may be doing that we really don’t wanna answer, most times you say “That’s crazy” or if your girlfriend asks you about some possible infidelity, and you know you’re caught and really don’t know what to say what do you say? “Baby, that’s crazy. You know I’m not doing (blah, blah, blah).” Then he went into what he DOES believe in. “I believe in 1 God. I don’t believe in hell” WAIT…..You believe in “One God” but you don’t believe in hell? Right there that tells you he doesn’t believe in the God that WE believe in. Because the God we believe in let's us know that there is DEFINITELY a hell. So he believes we can live, do whatever we want while we yet live, die and there are no consequences to anything we did wrong during that lifetime, hmm. Does he have a right to believe what he wants? Absolutely. BUT why continuously spit raps about a God you don’t believe in? Why walk around with a “Jesus Is Lord” shirt when you don’t believe in Christ? While before that rock a “Do What Thou Wilt” shirt for an interview which is a known Satanist’s motto and book title? (hypocrisy). He has a song praising Lucifer (Satan). Has lyrics about giving God the middle finger, telling God he’ll be back in a minute (when he feels like it), saying he doesn‘t pray to God he prays to Gotti. The list can go on and on with the subliminal lyrics and what not, but that would take entirely too long. I’m gonna get into the unhidden things.

“No Church in the Wild” is the doctrine for their new religion they claim to be starting. After all the album is called “Watch the Throne“. 

Well Jay named himself Hova (God’s name) and compares his flow to the Holy Ghost. Jay comparing his flow to the Holy Ghost has a meaning all in itself. As a believer, some functions we know of the Holy Ghost is it fills you up with its spirit, convicts you when you do wrong, make you feel a certain way, etc. So what Jay is saying his flow is a spirit is going to fill you up with itself, make you feel things, make you feel conviction, etc. Am I the only one that finds something wrong with that? He’s saying he’s going to fill you with his spirit, a spirit that doesn’t believe in the God that you believe in, a spirit that doesn’t believe in hell, a spirit that tells you “do what thou wilt” and go against what God commands and requires of you. Getting the picture?  He also says “ I‘m wonderin’ if a thug‘s prayers reach/ Is pious, pious cuz God loves pious?” For those who don’t know what the word pious means its precisely this:  A. showing reverence for a deity and devotion to divine worship. B. marked by conspicuous (hypocritical) religiosity. So what Jay is saying God loves super religious hypocrites.

In the same song he compares Kanye to Jesus, so is Ye supposed to be the savior of this new religion? And Ye (as Jesus did in the New Testament) lays down the rules in his verse…There’s no sin if its permitted, deceiving THEM is the only problem "deception is the only felony", you can have sex with whomever you want (fornication is ok), there is no need in asking for forgiveness "Two tattoos, one reads 'No Apologies'”,  “the other said ‘Love is Cursed by Monogamy‘”  basically being with/married to more than one person is okay because his definition of love is cursed by only being with one person (Monogamy). The “monogamy” line co-exists with the next two lines: ”That’s something that the pastor don’t preach / That’s something that the teacher can’t teach” That means exactly what it says. Pastors don’t preach being with/married to more than one person and God CAN’T teach that because it goes against His word.

“what’s a god to a non believer who don’t believe in anything?” <~~that should tell you all you need to know about that song before the 1st verse even hits. Kanye and Jay know exactly what they're doing and they're no longer hiding behind curtains and subliminal lyrics. Its all out in the open and they're basically daring for it to be challenged. They're bold for what they believe in. Are you bold enough to defend the God you say you believe in?




Thanks for reading.
