I Love Music

October 24, 2011 3 min read

Every now and then I go back and listen to albums and songs that really moved me artistically and spiritually when I heard them. One of those albums is  The Solus Christus Project  by Shai Linne. It is one of my favorite hip hop albums- period. The production is unique (though not commerical), the content is incredible, and Shai’s lyrical skill is on full display. This is one of those albums that makes rappers ask themselves, “Why am I still rapping again?”

I can’t quote the whole record in this post, but here’s one of my favorite verses from the album. It’s shai’s verse from “Mic Check 1,2″:

He gave His life as a ransom, I’m hype and I’m dancing When reciting my anthems of Christ, the Righteous Lamb who lights my lantern Who else but the Lord of the nations Can hype a heathen drunkard to write without even one word of self-glorification? My feeble words- inadequate indeed to describe the Immaculate Seed Destined to do miraculous deeds At the age of twelve, he had the old heads amazed at His insights Obeyed His parents, even though He created their wind pipes A true Anomaly- and who can ponder the Servant fighting the serpent in the desert with verses from Deuteronomy Satan threw every obstacle at Him, but couldn’t fathom The brilliant stratagems of the eschatological Adam The uniqueness of His meekness is too deep to speak And if you think meekness is weak just try being meek for a week Perfect humanity- yet bubbling with divinity Fulfilling the eternal covenant within the Trinity Excruciating suffering, infinite agony Divine abandonment for the Inventor of gravity No sin in His Majesty, He was a substitute The fruit of His love was enough to scoop sin up from the root The third day rose victorious- meaning history is A play that God’s directing to make Jesus look glorious We spit holy speech over beats to turn up the temperature And no retreat though we seek the return of the Emperor!

That, my friends, is one of the greatest hip hop verses ever written. The rhyme schemes, the vocabulary, the clarity and depth of the content, the flow- all of it was crazy. Praise God for using my brother Shai. What are some of y’alls favorite albums and verses?

To respond to your question Trip – this was the verse that compelled me check out Shai in the first place, off Flame’s Our World Redeemed, “2nd coming.” Amazing.

In the scriptures we find facts Pictures of divine acts Prophesied God provides wisdom the mind lacks At History’s climax More vivid than IMAX The sky cracks with Jesus on some, I’m back Now, just try to visualize the most Glorious site ever to hit physical eyes Holy angels in Christ who gets minimalized in splendor arrives and all the dead in Him will arise Believers who are alive become a maturated Order And caught up in the clouds like evaporated water To Be captivated by the Master’s grace and aura Before He Activates the slaughter on the cats who hate the Torah The File wildin’ out and doubt and wouldn’t call on Him And now Crying out for the mountains to fall on ’em The dead come Out the grave at the holy judge they look They’re broken up and shook while He opens up the books All sins will be Weighed not ignored And law breakers slayed (slain) by the sword on the day of the Lord While we gaze and admire His Greatness, liars and fakes who hate Messiah expire in The fiery lake Made for Satan and his angels sent to deceive Multitudes who refuse to repent and believe The elect have no hell to fear Cause we’re related to the judge Like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Another verse that hit me, Lecrae’s verse on “Beautiful Feet” off Rebel. It was amazing and really hit at the heart for me:

Eric used to go to bible study as a kid He got older and started doing what the hood did A rival gang caught him slippin tried to take his life But the jammed up so them beat him nice He woke up in the hospital singing bible songs Praise God he had a place to learn the bible from But then he gets saved and wanna preach Christ they make him change his whole culture and way of life He gotta get him a bachelors wear a suit and tie Go to seminary by then all of his boys will die Jesus came to invade culture outta nazereth and used a couple fisherman who people saw as hazardous The feet are beautiful if only they’d go If ain’t nobody in hood preaching how will they know? Eric is better used taught trues in his context Somebody please plant a church in his projects.

The last one I can think of off top is Tedashii’s verse from Between Two World’s “Bear with you” (which I think is my favorite song on the whole album) –

Life done been crumby, since I been walkin a young’n Call me different or funny, wish I could change it like money Grew up off in the country, we’re lookin different n funny Stupid head or just ugly, no matter what it kept comin Askin’ my momma where daddy, he aint here to protect me Teach me, raise me, or carry my load when it get heavy So I did it on my own, fightn carryin on It don’t matter what they told me dawg, I thought I was grown People tell me that I’m trippin, n i tell them they wrong All the while I’m actin out, blamin my daddy who gone Fast forward by 10, when God saved me from sin And He changed my heart from dark to light to show to all men And I got the conviction, call him up and stop trippin Thats when I found out he’s a Christian, who got saved in omission Thats when it goes past religion, and then it makes an incision Into your heart n then you start forgivin, man and start buildin!

Cheers to good music and hail to the King!

I’m constantly amazed by the show Shai and others like yourself put on through your lyrics. I figure most Hip Hop isn’t that difficult because you have the freedom to create bars that really don’t have to relate to your previous bar. Just saying random things that rhyme, pretty much. But you guys have to pick a subject and make it rhyme while still having a clear message. I couldn’t measure the difficulty of that. And that Shai verse you posted, in light of that difficulty, is truly amazing.

Trip lee reveals why he quit being a pastor: 'trying to be faithful looks different in different seasons'.

Christian minister and recording artist Trip Lee, whose birth name is William Lee Barefield III, revealed that he recently “stepped away” from pastoring due to an incurable illness.

During a recent interview with Faithfully Magazine , the 33-year-old artist disclosed that his 12-year battle with chronic fatigue syndrome has made it too difficult for him to continue serving as a pastor. 

"When I think of calling, I think of desire, gifting, and opportunity, basically. I had the desire to want to do it. When I would preach and serve and help people, I see the Lord using this and the Lord opened doors for me to do it,” Lee explained.

"I think [my] calling has been affected by my own health and things that seemed good and that I feel called to, they don't work out the way I expect because I have an illness that is the hardest part of every part of my life and things don't always work out the way that I think they supposed to or I felt they would, but nevertheless, I'm just trying to be faithful in the season,” he added.

The husband and father-of-three released his debut album in 2005 and quickly became a household name in Christian hip-hop. He stepped away from music in 2012 to pursue training as a pastor. 

He went on to preach at several Christian conferences and pastor local congregations. He led Cornerstone Church West End in Atlanta for four years, and in 2019 became a young adult pastor at Concord Church in Dallas, Texas. During that time he authored two books, The Good Life and Rise: Get Up and Live in God’s Great Story, and also released two albums, Rise and The Waiting Room.

Lee said he's thankful for the opportunities he's had to serve as a pastor, adding: "I love the Church."

"For many years, it was me trying to pastor in this season," he said. "I'm actually not pastoring anymore. I've actually stepped away in the past few months because of my health. It's made it hard, It doesn't seem like the most faithful way for me to serve the Church in the season. ... But yeah, trying to be faithful looks different in different seasons."

Lee now has a new single titled, “You Got It." He told Faithfully Magazine he plans to keep creating music. 

At the Gospel Coalition’s 2019 National Conference,  the artist preached on Matthew 8:1-13 , a passage in which Jesus heals a leper.

“To read passages like these, if I’m honest, can be difficult for a sick person,” he reflected. “Because it just seems so easy. It seems like ‘just believe and you’re healed.’ … It seems like faith just takes care of it. So what can happen — and I know I’m not the only one who has an illness or who has friends and family who have illnesses — the question can be, ‘Why isn’t God willing to heal me?’ It can be confusing, especially when you have false teaching that’ll say, ‘Look, if you’re sick, it’s a lack of faith. Faith always leads to healing.'” 

Nevertheless, the artist affirmed his faith in Christ and His ability to heal.

“If we want to present our brokenness to Jesus … the question is never about God’s ability,” Lee said. “It’s a question of whether or not it’s in His will. That’s how we should bring our brokenness to a Savior as amazing as ours — with an open hand, saying, ‘I know you can. I’m asking if You will.’"

NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers losing to Nuggets in Game 3: 'I love you, but you're not serious people'

The Denver Nuggets have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 112-105 victory.

Aaron Gordon led Denver with 29 points and 15 rebounds, Nikola Jokic almost recorded another triple-double with 24 points, 15 rebounds, and nine assists and Jamal Murray added 22 points and nine assists.

Anthony Davis and LeBron James combined for 59 points but D’Angelo Russell went scoreless in the game (0-7 field goals).

Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the Lakers being on the verge of elimination after Game 3.

• Family remembers victim in Lafayette triple homicide with downtown celebration

L AFAYETTE, La. ( KLFY )– The family of one of the victims in the triple homicide earlier this month is reflecting on their loved one and the horrific event.

The family of Brandon Touchet said it is difficult for them as Touchet was a beacon of light. He touched many lives of those around him with his unwavering love and devotion. They said he will be missed.

“It was horrendous,” Amy Guidry, Touchet’s sister, said. “”It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and would never want anyone to experience, very emotional.”

Guidry recalls the day she and Touchet’s cousin were with authorities as they discovered the three bodies in an apartment on South College Road. She said before Touchet’s death, she recalled him not showing up for work.

“We all became worried because it was very out of his character to not show up at work,” Guidry said. “So Thursday night, we went to his apartment. They got no answer. We didn’t hear his dog barking in the apartment, so we knew that something just wasn’t right.”

On the evening of April 12, Lafayette police said they were called to an apartment because of a welfare concern. There, police said they found three bodies, identified as Touchet, 49-year-old Eric Green , and 46-year-old Elizabeth Reames, all from Lafayette.

“Brandon was a great son, brother, friend and great uncle,” Guidry said. “He loved his family. For the past three years, he worked at Shred America. It’s a family business. He was an HR director. He loved his coworkers. Besides being a great uncle he loved dancing and he loved Reba.”

Police said the suspect, Chad Credeur was friends with the victims. He is in the Jeff Davis Parish jail on unrelated crimes. Lafayette police said he will remain in custody in Jeff Davis until he goes to court on their charges before he is brought back to the hub city to face first-degree murder charges in the triple homicide. The motive is still unknown at this time.

“We’re coping just trying to get through each day, day by day,” Guidry said. “It’s been very difficult. Every day it’s like a new nightmare over again. It’s just literally day by day right now is all we can do right now.”

There was a celebration at 5 p.m. Thursday in Downtown Lafayette, where people gathered in honor of Touchet’s life and his friend Green.

Stand Atlantic cover Post Malone ‘Chemical’ for Like A Version

• X (formerly Twitter)

We're feeling the serotonin boost from Stand Atlantic's unreal run at Post Malone's 'Chemical'. Get ready for the rush of euphoria, this one's like a gut punch of good vibes.

The Sydney outfit took Posty's pop-driven hit from 2023's  Austin  and forged it into a perfect pop-punk blaster - it's almost as if the track was made to be put to big riffs and soaring vocals.

"We love playing around with covers and stuff, so I feel like it was a great song to do that with," vocalist  Bonnie Fraser  said.

"We had a lot of fun with it."

Stand Atlantic took a real run up to the track, nodding to its folk-flavoured acoustic guitar in the first verse, building the energy up to a crescendo that absolutely rips the lid off it. There's even a full guitar changeover in there, did you see that??

It's an incredible return to the Like A Version studio from Stand Atlantic, check out more from their time in the booth below.
