    Evangelism 101, Hip Hop Style

    By Jeremy | December 31, 2004

    I helped a friend move yesterday, along with a crew of seven teenage boys. They're all great kids from God-fearing, evangelical families. They're all actively involved in a local church youth group, and most, if not all, attended Christian elementary and middle schools. One of the boys' parents are pastors of a leading church in New York City. Unlike many classic PK's, he actually loves the Lord. Three or four of the boys, including the aforementioned PK, were wearing G-Unit t-shirts. Ah, the irony. Great kids, Christian kids, representin' G-Unit. Among G-Unit's recent memorable moments: Sample G-Unit Lyrics: I have to assume that none of the boys -- never mind their parents! -- actually know or understand the lifestyle that G-Unit represents. Yet they wear G-Unit t-shirts (along with Sean John, Roc-a-Wear, Phat Farm, and other Hip Hop fashion labels) because they're cool. Therein lies the genius of Hip Hop. Read more about how Hip Hop has revolutionized youth culture while CCM (so-called "Contemporary Christian Music") has only revolutionized itself, here.
