Christian Rapper Dee-1 takes on Rick Ross, Meek Mill and Jim Jones 🤯
Come talk to me when you've accomplished that sort of thing. But does that give them an excuse for making the type of music that they make? I get that it's about entertainment, but there are a lot of young, impressionable kids that's listening to this music, and they don't know that it's entertainment. They think you're telling the story of your life, as a lot of hip hop rappers have done

And it's this weird thing with rap, with the brands rappers wear or the way they speak. And kids, more than any other music, let me not say that maybe like emo kids and heavy metal to some degree. I don't know. I'll listen to that stuff left, but I'm just going by image. But even beyond that's so image heavy, the mannerisms and the

I don't know about that because like I said, you got young people listening to this kind of music, and they are not mature enough to understand. Okay. Meek Mill is just trying to make some money, further his career, and talk about what he's familiar. You know, it's just entertainment. It's not real. I mean, they're young. They're going to be thinking, oh, wow, this is what it's like out there in the streets

And we can talk about the music on top of that. That's kind of how I feel, because I just think the way it was phrased of says, you shouldn't be doing both. And ideally he's right, but I'd rather, again, have somebody, like, contributing locally, no matter what they're doing their music. And then you say, well, let's keep that part and let's then work on the music

With people being so young, so vulnerable, so naive, they are going to assume that the life that you highlight in your video, those and in your messages is what they should strive to attain, whether it be with drugs, gangs, women, promiscuity, et cetera. They give back these rappers or whatever. Turkeys, diapers, whatever. But the devil gives good, shiny gifts, too

You don't have to have a kind and generous heart at all to give gifts because we know that these celebrities are getting a whole lot of tax write offs from these gifts that they give all these charitable works. A lot of it is for tax write off purposes, tax deductions, so that they don't have to pay as many taxes

So, first of all, I don't believe in Christian rappers. I don't. I don't believe in Christian rappers. I just don't. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a genre of music that should even be so the fact that it, in saying that I wanted to put that out there, that's my little disclaimer. So

And I don't, and, and I don't think, and me personally, we don't know anybody's heart, right? God is the only one that can look at people's hearts and know people's motives. We don't know that. And so we can't say that people are doing something for a tax write off or they're doing something

And not only did they use their music, not only did they use hip hop as a form of expressing their gift, but they also used it to help educate the community on black history and other things that were affecting the black community at the time. And so they used their platform to send a message. They didn't use their platforms to tear down the black community. And D One is not saying that they don't do anything in the black community

We as adults, we know that these rappers are telling a story. We know the difference between fact and fiction. But the youth, they're going to soak up all of these words. They're soaking up everything you're saying, everything you're doing in the videos, let's not even talk about the music videos, which can be very risque. You have them looking at that and looking at the life that these rappers are living

@MsColes77 · 4:26
It's becoming a part of our core. And so, yes, words are very, very powerful. And so I think that for rappers to act like folks ain't really paying attention to what they're saying, or everybody knows that they ain't really serious about what they're talking about. Young kids don't know you telling a story. They think you're talking about your life

I know my sister, she's a teacher, so I remember her saying, if we can turn these lessons into catchy rap songs, all these kids will pass their sols in this school because they certainly walk around the hallways repeating craziness off the Internet and radio. So. Yeah, definitely. I'm glad that D is calling them out as well. Thank you so much for this

It d One is spot on. And the responses from a lot of the rappers really just proved his point. Especially Jim Jones with his very aggressive response to D One. And talking about someone might put their hands on this. I'm a grown man, but I think a grown man talking about putting his hands on another grown man is a super duper violation. Right? It. That is not how you should be handling things when you become of a certain age or at any age. Right?
