Christian hiphop artist Lecrae drew a connection between music and current events. Singing and rapping about “murder, misogyny and lawlessness” doesn’t do a lot for your credibility when you start calling out for justice. Most of the response was pretty positive.
@lecrae you ain't never said truer words!

@lecrae why we cant? Hip hop is a response 2 not cause of injustice.

@prophiphop @lecrae I talk about this all the time! Cats are perpetuating stereotypes and influencing apathy towards civility!

For the record I don't think Hip Hop is the problem. I don't believe we are loved/treated equal by cleaning ourselves up.

@lecrae it's a love problem bro. World tries to remove God from everything but expects The Grace to remain. We have got to stop the hate!

I do believe the content of character can help or hurt the work of those who fight for equality & dishonor those who died for our freedom.

@lecrae what are the goals of the protestors in Missouri? We should rally together as one nation under God, and not clash with authorities.
