You probably thinking who the heck is Evangel and what nerve does he have going up against probably the GOAT? I found out about both songs while on a thread on the HolyCulture.net forum.
Rakim, a pioneer in the art of emceeing, originally recorded a track called “ Holy Are You“. Rakim used this song to boast about his lyrical skills and greatness as a rapper. Most listeners might would ask, okay what else is new… isn’t that every rap song?
As a fan of hip hop music and a card carrying member of The Peoples Coalition for the Preservation of Hip Hop (copyright pending) I found my self divided at first. Thanks to my Uncle Hank I was introduced to Eric B & Rakim at an early age. So I grew up listening to Ra’ and would memorize the lyrics to a lot of his songs. I even studied his rhyme scheme and incorporated it in my lyrics w hen I grew older and began to rhyme myself.
However as a Christian you begin to see (and hear) things differently. So I completely understand the need for Evangel’s response. Chalk one up for Evangel in the W column!!!!!
