The Bible and Music

When most people think of rap they think of violence, drug abuse, and disrespecting women. Although majority of the rappers of todays day and age do include these things in their lyrics, there are also many rappers who make references to the bible in their music. With rap being one of the most popular genres of today’s youth, artist including these bible verses in their music is making waves. Pusha T, one of the more popular artists in the rap genre, recently came out with a song called “Exodus 23:1”. On Thursday the bible verse was on the worldwide trending topics on twitter. But now the question is, is it a good thing that Pusha T has brought so much recognition to the bible verse, or a bad thing that he named a song filled with profanity and violence “Exodus 23:1” tarnishing the meaning of the verse in general. In my opinion, although it is disrespectful, I think it is good that he is inspiring young fans to look into the bible. I know that hearing the song inspired me to read the verse. I think that if naming the song after the verse will get more people interested in reading the bible verses and looking more into the meaning of it, then it is making a positive difference in the world.
