I don't expect most of you guys to understand or even begin to fathom what has taking place. If you don't have the spiritual wisdom to discern certain things, for this would be looked at to you as FOOLISHNESS because you're still leaning on your own understanding!
Am I a rapper? No. I now consider myself a messenger of Christ / a servant of the lord! And for the rest of my journey this talent which is not mine that God has given me will be used to help save lost souls.
anonymous above me, thats a very ignorant comment. but with tha being said, you have to respect this man decision to stay true to his deepest beliefs. Every rapper who is influenced heavily by religion like Gem is gonna have that back and forth tug on wheather they music is staying true to wht they believe in. I think Gem coulda keep going on and keep making his music more positive cuz it was inspiring on the second mixtape to see a dude come clean and step away from the negativity in hip hop. But reguardless its always inspring to see him take to step to completly dedicate his talents to the lord, and imma continue to be a fan with the gospel cuz the ablity is still there and i respect him 100%. So its a bitter-sweet moment but there hopefully is still more to come...
ReplyDeletethere's a difference between going clean and "I've found Christ." I hope he doesn't force it into his music too much. Stay balanced.
ReplyDelete"The next time you guys hear anything pertaining to music from me... It will be GOSPEL!!!"
ReplyDeletenaab, he is doing gospel from now on. so on his songs he will be saying "ive found christ". But i hope lupe and gem come out with a video addressing the fans with wht is going to go on from here on out. If gem is still on FNF and whtever else needs to be said.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever listened to Christian rappers? they ain't bad amigo. They still have the same flow, their messages are unanimously good (be it a preach sort of song or simply a live your life by these good words of wisdom sort) and many don't forgo the "street" power behind it.
ReplyDeleteBesides, what's so bad about NOT rapping about hoes n shit?
there's a difference between clean and gospel, as we've said. Lupe is clean, but not in a preachy way. I'm saying that if Gemstones has Jesus in every song, then he's lost me as a fan.
ReplyDeleteNaab got a point.
ReplyDelete"I'm saying that if Gemstones has Jesus in every song, then he's lost me as a fan."
ReplyDelete??!!
WHY ? if thats the case u wernt a fan in the 1st place .
just becus ur mind has been trained to not like any gospel.
the music can still be good technique wise
o GREAT.
ReplyDeletewell - lupe need a new sidekcik - turbo n e one/?
Wan't he supposed to have an album coming out soon??? Awwww I guess we're never gonna see that. :( This is soo random. All of a sudden he's going Gospel? Oh well, he was a good rapper.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna fault him for deciding to go Gospel, the only thing I'm upset about is Troubles of the World, patiently waitin since '07 and now this happens.
