The makings of a MILLENNIAL “HYMNAL”?
Time to make money off more white people!
If all this can bring even a few more souls to Jesus then it’s a worthwhile endeavor.
I wish them well.
I take it Dr. Dre has met the Lord, too?
Something is happening folks =)
I’ll wait a while to see how it turns out, but I hope they have true intentions.
Ugh ... not sure that’ll end well, I’ve been around long enough to remember Dre when he first got big with Gansta Rap.
I guess Kanye wanted to make sure we hadn’t forgotten about Dre
As I suspected, most of this is about reinventing, repackaging and grabbing an underserved market share.
And then I realized something else...
Maybe its always been this way with very popular musicians.
They acclimate and conform to the market at hand.
I was just listening to one of my favorite Baroque pieces;
Fireworks, by George Handel. Both Handel and JS Bach wrote many (thousands!of) pieces for their local church. This was WORK.
They just so happened to have been unusually talented, but they mainly wrote and performed music for the MONEY so that they could support their families or their favorite charities. Handel had no children, but donated to many schools and causes, while Johann S. Bach had 27 children.
My conclusion: Money makes the world go round!
A person may be successful at worldly music, and he/she may profess allegiance to Jesus, the Christ, but that doesn’t likely make one a Christian musician, capable of creating a score or lyrics acceptable to the Lord and His spiritual discerning worshipers.
HOORAY Kanye and Dre.
