Which religion has the most impact on hip-hop/black power?[respect]
- Thread starter OmAiR05
- Start date
Rakim - NGE
Common - doesn't adhere to any religion
Cube - repped NOI, but not for religious reasons
Kane - King Asiatic... NGE, duh
Tribe - Q-Tip claims Islam, dunno about the rest
KRS - dunno
Religion has been pretty uninmportant in hip-hop. The NOI/NGE's black nationalism and vocabulary have been pretty important, but I can't think of any religious hip-hop until, say, Hammer.

It really depends on the artist.
You can't look at hip hop in general and say it evolved from religion. Different artists rap about different things. They have christian rap as I'm sure most of us already know. And there is also rap about "I wanna fuck this girl" If fucking girls is a religion to you, than in that respect anything rapped about could be considered relgion.
As for organized religion, I believe that simply depends on the artist.

I hope we see the light b4 its ruined.
I agree wit 1mc 100%
2pac and Enistine beleived in vurtually the same relgion. They both studied all the religion and seen all it does is seperate people and poitng at the other person saying they are wrong. They beleived in GOD and in good(they were human and had bad sides sumtimes who doesnt).
I like how they viewed it.
back 2 the topic a religion or a way sum1 grew up can effect the way an artist looks a certain things but they can be any religion and still have the same messages.
Look at 2pac and Kadafi 1 was a christian and 1 was Muslim but had the same messages.
