music
sometimes I wonder where has the good music gone too. nowadays its just a bunch of foolishness that is on the radio, i miss the old school music where i could vibe too it and not have to worry about someone getting into a fight because that's how music is today. all it is talking about "swagger" like who cares about that, idk maybe because i just grew up on the BOYS II MEN,DRU HILL,BLACKSTREET, JODECI, MICHAEL JACKSON, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, New edition etc. you get the point. not soulja boy, stanky leg, waka flocka (what kind of name is that smh) as my friend tells me all the time give me that "feelgoodmusic" and i will be fine or give me some old school reggae too. I don't want to hear lil john screaming "OKAAAYYYYY" when im trying to chill. I know ya'll be thinking the same thing, y'all turn on the radio and be like "man they playing this same stupid song" and don't even make sense what they saying either. Whats "stupid fruity swag" REALLY lol idk man i cant do it. please tell me what y'all think.

You know my brother, the way society is going should tell us that Jesus is coming soon. I use to be really into rap until recently. I would tune in to Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and a few others. Looking back, I realize that almost 90% of all current music takes the mind of the listener AWAY FROM CHRIST. I thank God that He helped me break away from secular music & entertainment. Like you said, Swagger, Selfishness, and Sex are the main driving force behind the music. Just listen to the suggestions of the lyrics. Adultery, Death, all types of evil, but the most dangerous type of entertainment are the ones packaged with unassuming themes. Things such as slow ballads, R&B, Jazz etc etc. We must be careful as to what we allow ourselves to consume. Be blessed brother.
ReplyDeletei appreciate you commenting i totally agree what you are saying and im praying that i can get to the point where i can stop listening to everything and listening to things i know i should be putting in my mind. the devil is working hard and we need to have Jesus in our hearts or we will be lost.
ReplyDeleteThis is so tru. I think the devil uses such music to lure us in and control our thinking. I use to love me some reggae and culture until I started listening to the lyrics one day and realized I don't believe what they are saying so why am I listening to this. I agree Chris at least the music made sense back in the day but today it has no purpose whatsoever it's just STUPID. And the devil nows that and has all these kids around the place dancing to songs like the "stanky leg" and they don't even know what they are dancing to. And even though I've cut out the culture and reggae I know I need to get to the point where I stop with the soul and R&B too.
ReplyDeleteAmen my dear brother and old friend Nashanda! I'm reminded of Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. This verse should be our guide. Test all entertainment against this verse, but remember that without Christ we can do nothing, but through Christ we can do all things! Candidates for Heaven have set aside for them special things. Why? Because we are SPECIAL PEOPLE! Satan has his counterfeits & the only thing it helps accomplish is our destruction. God bless and let's all keep in touch!
