I have the same ambiguous respect for this approach to history as I do to those who change Shakespeare and Voltarie or use Rap themes to spread The Holy Gospel. I appreciate the sincerity, but, some quality is lost when all is dumbed down and homogenized. The listener learns little if anything about how other cultures have communicated or responded to communication.
One of the most respected Shakespeare experts I studied with talks about how in many ways, Shakespeare was the “original rapper” - especially for his time in terms of how he reworked language to suit his ends.
