letra de a word from the godfather of chh, micheal peace (interlude) - datin

[spoken word: michael peace]
in 1985, i put in one of my lyrics, um, “j-e-s-u-s”. i said: “pretty soon they were saying that ’your rapping don’t please us’, ’cause born-again christians gon’be rapping about jesus’. and when i did that, i wanted to put everybody on notice who were here the lyrics coming from a christian that we were serious about what we were doing with the jam of hip-hop. that we were not going to be arrogant, but we were going to be confident and we were going to be relentless to do two things, and all of us, back in those days, all of us, back in those days, in the ’80s, we had two goals in mind: the first one was to glorify the lord within our lyrics, that it will be undeniable as to who we were rapping representing and rapping about. no, no metaphors, no pr-nouns: it was straight and direct jesus. and the second thing was that we wanted to reach the lost: we wanted to declare the good news of jesus christ, the gospel of jesus christ to people who knew nothing about jesus, who had a limited understanding about jesus or what it meant to be a christian. and that was what we were doing, that was what we did and little did we know that, so many years later, that there would be so many amazing rappers that love the lord jesus christ and reflect what he’s all about. back in the day, we had no idea that it would have come to what it’s come to, we’re sure glad about that very thing: that people are glorifying the lord big time with the good news of jesus christ…
