Abstract
  • Rapper, Tupac Shakur and others produce Hip Hop lyrics comparable to biblical texts. The writer researched common theological ground between Psalms and the messages of Tupac Shakur. Psalms of lament and Hip Hop lyrics convey a reality of fear, hopelessness, anger, and a deliverance motif by a God who cares about the people. The author contends that the black church should adapt to the language of youth via Hip Hop to develop rap music as a resource. He offers convincing arguments for Hip Hop as a relevant contemporary black church hermeneutic and a tool to recapture African American youth.
