Loon from Bad Boy to devout Islam?

| July 7, 2009 | 3 Comments

Loon=Bad_Boy_to_Islam=200=ChristianRapHipHopNewsOur girl Pleshette from 3LPromo hit us up with this video where Bad Boy recording artist Loon is being interviewed about his conversion to Islam. Loon also notes in his interview that their other hip-hop artists embracing Islam. What are your thoughts about his conversion? Is this a trendy thing in the Hip-Hop circles?

This personally makes me wonder if Christian Hip-Hop is not making enough noise or are our motives just wrong? Do we need to open our mouths a bit louder?  Are we making music to reach the lost or entertain the saints?  Are we focused on winning over the hip-hop community or are we trying to win over fans?  … your thoughts?

    I reallly believe that the question : "Are we making music for the lost or entertaining the saints" is a very relevant one. As far as having a louder voice, I don't think that is an isuue. I believe that what is lacking is the power and heart of Christ. We need to His heart and be a reflection to those that are in darkness. Not to be pessimistic, I believe that Christ centered rhymes can convict or at least arrest the attention of the conscience for a moment. I have had to learn that music is not what or who saves people, Christ is.

    Also in regards to the question it has nothing with us not making enough noise at all. Islam demands nothing from you. You can still curse, drink, sex, smoke, steal whatever but as long as you do good things to balance it out you might be ok. They don't even know if they make it heaven in the end, its all about how Allah feels that day. We have to keep making music that shows people who God is. I honestly feel that if we get to the point where to we are accepted by the mainstream then we would be doing a disservice. Christ was clear, they will hate us because they hate him. If we are trying to get it accepted by the world then we are missing the point. We want the world to be convicted and changed. Matt 7 many people will miss it. It just is what is that way.
