Maybe you’ve noticed that Hip Hop often evokes strong reactions from Christians. Hip Hop doesn’t always make it easy for a Christian to look and say, “Wow, now there’s a people group I’d just love to learn from and minister with!” No, in fact, often people have quite the opposite reaction.
In turn, many run far from Hip Hop, never really understanding the culture, its people, and its message; moreover, some Christians even see it as “demonic”. When we’re willing to look closer, we might find that Hip Hop has a lot to offer the broader society. What, then, might it mean to both embrace and engage Hip Hop from a missional perspective?

I have to concur with what is said concerning this issue. I have learned from Christians that we can be very judgmental at times. We seem to shift our opinions of others to a popularity approach. Whatever the majority thinks or believes then we would have similar opinions because we don’t want to go against the grain. But, as Christians are we suppose to take a stand for justice and equality for all. If so, then why are Christians so quickly to condemn those whom we believe to be different and simultaneously curse them as being "demonic" when we feel that what is call Hip hop can be described as "Holy" also.
