Christian hip hop has become very popular since this type of music was first released, and just like rock this type of music is here to stay. Before Christian hip hop songs in this music genre were obscene and unacceptable, with lyrics that were not Christian and ideals that were not appropriate for teens and young adults. Thanks to many talented and popular Christian

hip hop artists, today this type of music is one of the top selling styles. This music brings the word of God to everyone in an innovative and new way, and reaches those who may never hear a sermon in church.

Christian hip hop is fun and entertaining, without being violent or obscene. The songs discuss life problems and faith in God, to show the audience that belief in a higher power offers a freedom you can not find in any other way. Christian hip hop is nothing like the hymns heard in church, these songs have a fantastic beat and rhythm which makes them very appealing, and the lyrics reinforce the greatness of God and Christian principles and values. Concerts for Christian hip hop often sell out quickly, and many of these artists provide free concerts and perform community outreach activities following the Christian value of charity and helping others.

In the beginning of Christian hip hop many said that this music was just a fad, and that it could not last. Years later this type of music is still going strong, and is more popular than ever. This shows it is not just a fad, and that Christian hip hop is here to stay. Top artists like Flame keep the music alive and vibrant, without veering from the important message and spreading the word of God. Many Christians today do not attend church as often as they should, and this music can help you hear God's word no matter where you are or what you are doing.

Thanks to Christian hip hop anyone who enjoys hip hop music but wants motivational lyrics that uplift instead of putting down can find it quickly and easily. Hip hop does not have to call women names or advocate violence to appeal to the public, and the increasing popularity of Christian hip hop music just proves this. Spreading a message of love, tolerance, and Christian kindness is what this music does, and it does this extremely well. More teens are turning to this type of music in their search for identity, and this means fewer are becoming involved with drugs, gangs, and street violence.
