*Splashes self with Holy Water*
A friend was on Lipstick Alley last night when she stumbled across a hilarious video by Gospel rapper Jesus Daughter. Apparently, JD was fed up with the state of music and decided to call out a few popular artists such a Mary Mary and Jay-Z.
During the song, Jesus Daughter takes shots at gospel duo Mary Mary and says they need to save souls instead of “standing in front of the camera and look cute all day long.” Who knew the Lawd doesn’t want you to look good (which…explains the video?). Jesus’ Daughter also takes aim at Jay-Z and T.I., two self-proclaimed hip hop kings (perhaps she has another joint calling out Yeezy, Lil Wayne, and the rest?)
While I applaud her efforts to use her music to spread the Gospel, beefing with other artists, cursing, and doing a half-hearted Dougie in a low budget video just isn’t the way. Or…maybe it’s just me?
*makes the sign of the cross*
What do you think?
I wonder where she learned her dance moves from – Probably a Hip Hop/Rap video.
Best. video. ever!
I felt embarrassed for her.
Ex-crackhead. Guaranteed.
Where’s a rotten tomato when I need one?
I didn’t make it through the entire video, but I’m pretty sure as she was “rapping” about the Lord’s return, while calling T.I. and Jay-Z to the carpet, she dropped a curse word in the process… Really? …. REALLY?
FINALLY! A Christian artist that isn’t afraid to curse like a sailor.
I didn’t listen, but she cursin? Woooow
Wait a minute… does this remind anyone else of the “It’s so cold in the D” video? She dances just like T-baby, or whatever that crackhead’s name was….
NUh UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LMAOOOOOO
Wow, purplekeychain, it can’t be as bad as It’s so cold in the D. Lol, I’ll have to watch this video on the computer as soon as I get home (dang blackberry!)
Well, the video isn’t the greatest. But, she makes some valid points, particularly about Mary Mary. If you watch their videos and turn down the volume you would think that they were an R&B duo before a Gospel one. Some of their attire is inappropriate. They wear the most form fitting clothes with cleavage and thighs and hips exposed bouncing around singing about God.
God is not interested in whether his people “look good”. That is ridiculous and vain. The Bible does state that women should dress modestly, which should especially apply to those who are are preaching about him. You can’t expect people to take you seriously when you have on skinny jeans and 5 inch heels talking about “It’s the God in me”.
I knew someone would come up here and defend her.
I don’t know what Mary Mary videos you were watching, I am a Christain and i thank God for music by Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin. And where does it say in the Bible that you have to dress like a nun. Singing to the Lord should make you feel great . But my sister in this video is still in the baby stage, so she should not start throwing stones and neither should you. ;) Be Blessed.
-_-
No, it’s not a defense. Its speaking to the points that were made in the video and in the article.
Cursing and preaching about God is certainly not the way to spread the Gospel. And dressing provacatively and singing about God isn’t either. The girl in the video is right. Mary Mary need to tone it down a notch. Now, I’m defending her.
The undone belt, the T-shirt with an angel wearing stilettos, or is that supposed to be Jesus? I’m at a loss.
Stay away from drugs, kids. Crack kills.
“And one — they on they way to hell
and two — they need to know the truth
and three — they need to be set free
amd four — they need the Lord for sure
and five – I can go on
and yes — I don’t have time for this . . .”
LMAO…*speechless*
