Are “Christian” and “rap” mutually exclusive? Hardly. Shai Linne and Voice explain hip hop culture, rap music’s potential for the gospel, and why rap can’t replace preaching.
Dever's earlier message is well put: "preaching symbolizes God speaking to us." I think he puts it well that we are listening passively to expositional preaching, and thus it is a mirror of our spiritual state.
As for Shai Linne, I don't know much about his music, but it seems important to fellowship with whatever music that expresses our cultural context. Although organs are used in most churches, there's no Biblical mandate. Thus, guitars, drums, synthesizers, etc. are totally fair game. I like holy hip hop and used to listen to it alot, although not so much any more. Could recommend to anyone who was interested.
As for his eating preferences, I don't know how many go for non-sectarian vegetarianism, but I'm not one. I used to be a vegetarian, but gave it up after I realized I was becoming a vegetable.
