Is he hip hop hard?

I was thinking about the real JESUS...the one that seems to get washed over and over until we all get a diluted version of him and it got me to thinking..... if everyone wants to be hard these days....and being the "Thuged out " Rapper is really a desirable goal for young guys would JESUS make the cut? I mean he is supposed to be all things to us...so I have compiled a list...not completed...but begun a list of similarities.....feel free to comment any you can think of that I have missed.



Biggie -self proclaimed "lyrical genius" whose messages would reveal things about him to us as well as some things about ourselves.

JESUS - prophet and son of GOD who spoke to us in parables that to this day show depth and life application to people around the world...some things he spoke are to this day still being interpreted

2PAC -believed to have faked his death and still writes powerful songs we can relate to.

Jesus- Actually died and came back! and still speaks to each and everyone of us DAILY!

50 cent- shot 9 times and lives

Jesus- Beaten with the cat of 9 tales and various whips and other objects to within inches of his life....then NAILED to a cross and stabbed with a spear.... only to rise from the dead and continue to spread his message

Jay-Z self proclaimed dealer of illegal substances for his own financial prosperity.

Jesus- worshiped dealer of a truth that was and in some parts of the world still is illegal for the betterment of man kind!

T.I. self proclaimed "King of the South" about to stand trial for attempting to equip people with illegal weapons

Jesus - King of all Kings Spent time on DEATH ROW for trying to equip people with the illegal weapon of TRUTH!

NWA- famous for saying F* the police

Jesus - challenged the accepted rules of the Pharisees in every place he taught!

Sugar Hill Gang- pioneers of a movement that would rock the world.

Jesus - the pioneer of a movement that SAVES THE WORLD.

Eminem- rocked world with shocking lyrics only then to claim it wasn't literal...just a song

Jesus - shocked the world with what he said....AND STOOD BY IT!

NAS- famous for hitting you with hard lyrics and never selling out

Jesus -hit you with hard lyrics, never sold out....not even when faced with death!

Kanye West- famous for his "I'm always right" attitude

Jesus - IS ALWAYS RIGHT!

All rappers- privilege of saying what they want under the first amendment...

Jesus - Did not have that protection and did it anyway ultimately ...was killed due to what he was teaching the people...

All rappers -do it for the business of making money

Jesus - did it for the business of SAVING YOU!

All rappers- could care less about you or what you think about them as long as you buy their CD

Jesus - cares about you and what you think about him regardless of whether or not you buy what he is selling.


I encourage you all to take and post this list anywhere and everywhere....twitter it...myspace it...face book it...blog it...whatever...get it out there and show those young guys and girls the similarities ....maybe the only reason they don't look to Jesus as a role model is because they don't know him like this!!!!!

Grace and peace be upon you all!
