In The Truth Behind Hip Hop 4, G. Craige Lewis uncovers
the curse that produced the “Hip Hop Culture” and where America is headed if we do not stop this movement.

God is judging America and He is starting with the
leadership of His house--the church! Hip Hop is not a culture, but it is a consequence to the actions of a people that are
selfishly immoral and thus produce children that must find their own way.

It's THE BEAT!!!
ALL Rock music, Hip
Hip, Disco, Rap, or other forms of music that mesmerize (i.e., strongly attract like a magnet) the body are worldly, and an
enemy of God (James 4:4).
Listen to what the Bible teaches in Romans 8:8,
"So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God." The Word of God magnifies the spirit, NOT the flesh. The flesh is weak, and sinful, and corrupt. Hip
Hop mesmerizes the fleshly body. In sharp contrast, the Word of God directs us to WALK IN THE SPIRIT ... Galatians 5:25,
"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." You see, so-called Christian rappers want to live in the spirit
while walking in THE FLESH. That's not what Galatians 5:25 tells us to do. The Bible says that those who LIVE in the spirit
(i.e., born again believers), should also WALK in the spirit. Romans 8:5 clearly condemns Hip Hip, "For they that are after
the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit." Hip Hop is clearly
appealing to THE FLESH, not the spirit. The Bible clearly states that THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE FLESH mind the things of THE
FLESH. Hip Hip is of the flesh.
Any music that is of the flesh displeases God, because we are commanded to mind
the things of the spirit in Galatians 5:25.
Oh how blinded are so many Christian youths today by Christian Hip Hop
and Christian Rock music. Jesus said in Matthew 6:23, "...If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is
that darkness!" If young people today read an article like this, which exposes the evils of Christian Hip Hop from the Bible,
yet they choose to continue supporting Hip Hop, then they are well nigh hopeless? Jesus is simply saying that if you've heard
the truth, but think it's a lie, then you are seriously deceived. There's not a more deceived group than those who buy, support,
produce, and promote Christian Hip Hop. This includes most Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) today. Judgment day is coming
upon such wickedness; God will not be mocked! ... "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."

Was Satan in charge of music in Heaven?"
Answer:
Ezekiel 28:13 of the KJV and NKJV seems to hint that Satan was involved with music in Heaven. The NKJV says, “The workmanship
of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created,” although the exact meaning of this difficult
Hebrew text is uncertain. There may have been such instruments in heaven, but there is no evidence outside this verse to verify
it. Revelation 5:8 and 15:2 refer to harps, but not to timbrels or pipes.

The two Scripture passages that describe Satan before he fell
are Ezekiel 28:12-19 and Isaiah 14:12-15.
Satan was the “anointed cherub” (Ezekiel 28:14). He was adorned with every
precious jewel imaginable (Ezekiel 28:13). He was “the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty” (Ezekiel
28:12b).
Likely he was the highest of all angels. He was persuasive enough to convince one-third of the angels to
join him in his rebellion
(Revelation 12:4).
Even after his fall from heaven, not even Michael the archangel dared
to stand up to him without the Lord’s help (Jude 9). Satan fell because of pride. He did not like being “second best.” He
wanted to be God: “You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will
sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain’” (Isaiah 14:13).

Was Satan the head musician?
This cannot be answered
definitively. Scripture does not say enough about what his duties were in heaven. Considering the fact that the angels constantly
worship God (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8), it is possible that Satan led that worship. One thing is sure: for Satan to rebel
despite having such an exalted position and close relationship with God, the devil is surely due his eternal destiny (Revelation
20:10).
