All I can really say is that this CD is amazing! A few years back I listened to secular rap because Gospel hip hop really was not that great in comparison. Now I got rid of the secular because I truly feel that the 116 clique has better music. Not to mention that their lyrics glorify God and teach the listener life lessons. The cross movement's album history is also a really good hip hop album with Christian lyrics. Buy these CD's up. "Dig In" and "Get Loose" are my two favorites, but the whole album is solid.
Masterfully done Nov 30, 1999
This album is masterful. It's:
1) Christ centered. The artists do an amazing job of expositing the 13 letters of Paul given the study that they put in before making the songs. They all come very knowledgable about the conditions at which the letters were written and do a great job of breaking down the text of the letters into a culturally-relevant language. I've never heard the Word being spit this way on an album. You get background, teaching, and application from this.
2) Filled with talented MCs (Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Sho, FLAME, 1-Lyfe, Dillon Chase, JSon) who bring lyrical fire on each track. There is no weak MC on this track - and the lyrics are meaningful.
3) Diverse in style with the beats and sound each track. You get the dirty south sound, east coast beats, nice slow jams, R&B-esque tracks, the midwest sound... it's all in there and each artist does a great job of using the beats with their flow. It's balanced as well: No one style dominates or one MC dominates (like Lecrae on the 1st 116 Clique album).
If you like high-quality lyrics and production, diversity, balance, heart, soul, passion, and something that edifies you and challenges you, this is it. ...And it's all for the glory of God.
Good tracks to preview: 'Dig in' by Trip Lee, 'Philippians - To Live is Christ' by Trip Lee, 'Galatians - Justified' by Sho.
Rapping for Jesus is really where it's at! Nov 30, 1999
Well I gotta say that I love this Cd. I myself like more of the "harcore" rap and beats, so it really its home to the listener! Lecrae is one of my favorite "christian" rappers as he is very real, his spirit is in tune with God, raps very well and spits it hard!
It seems this is the music we need in todays society as it has become so perverse. I used to have about 500 rap albums, but I don't even this to them anymore. Everything I listen to now is filled with the holy spirt and this is the way it will stay.
I thank God for people such as Trip Lee, Lecrae and other various artists who rap for God and continue to do so! It sounds great! I just hope more people listen to this instead of all the other garbage out there.
All I say is keep it up! Bring the beats, and the verses! Don't stop until the casket drop, lol.!!!!!
GOES HARD Nov 30, 1999
THIS WHOLE ALBUM GOES HARD WITH LYRICS, BEATS, AND MOST IMPORTANT THE WORD OF GOD. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS ALBUM YOU ARE SLEEPING HEAVY THIS IS A MUST HAVE ALBUM 10 MICS IN MY BOOK THE WHOLE ALBUM IS BANGIN. A MUST COP NOW ALBUM.
Great Album with Sold Doctrine Nov 30, 1999
When I first heart that reach records would put out an album on the 13 Pauline Epistles, I wondered what it would be like; I also was excited. The talk about it was huge, so I made the step to get the album. This album has really encouraged 1. Self-Examination: As a Christian man looking at these surveys and seeing whether my life matches up to what they are speaking, whether in good or bad ways, 2. Study of the Word of God: They emphasize that their "surveys" of the Epistles are just that "surveys" not expositions - in hopes that it would lead you to "Dig In" to the word (Track 2 w/ Trip Lee). 3. Encourage other believers: Pauls epistles were an encouragement to other believers, even though Paul was imprisoned most of the time he still wrote with a fervency, not for his own glory but for the Glory of God! This is a thread throughout the entire epistles and the album seems to capture that thread. There are many other things you can pick up and that i could write about, but all in all, great album to buy for the sake of study and to "bump" on the road. Thank you to all the reach Fam for their efforts. ***NOTE*** it does not just stop with the album, look for the curriculum coming soon - it takes the album to a different leve, to my understanding it also includes some dramatic themes.
