Kanye West has been the first big Christian rap star who has had Evangelical chart hits such as "Jesus Walks".

Guess whoever wrote this has never heard of DC Talk. They were doing Christian rap years ago. They changed their style somewhat and their CD, "Jesus Freak" won a Grammy. It's a great CD.

True, dct were doing rap a long time ago, starting in 1989, but when they broke through on mainstream radio it was after they'd migrated to a more pop, rock, R&B sound. Their rap stuff never got on radio.
