Christian music can be funky

Hi, everyone if your a christian, and like R&B/Hip Hop music may I suggest some albums I have.

Crew 1 Group, this music group just released their first album late last year,my favorite on this one is the song "No plan B" ( this one is about putting trust in God, with all trust in him, we do not need a plan B, because he has us covered.)

Toby Mac, Diverse City/ and his new one "Portable Sounds" he has the hip hop sound down, I love his music. Have yet to get DC Talk albums.

Reggae Priase this album is self titled, very unique album raggae with christian lyrics, very good.....


Kirk Franklin "Hero"

J Moss "J Moss Project"

Mary Mary self titled album

And for those into hard rock:

Petra I have just started to listen to their music, they have very good lyrics.

Switchfoot

Kutless

White Heart

Christianbooks.com is a website that has all these albums to listen to before buying, and of course other albums you may want to check out.

As I've stated before on the org, some of the funkiest musicians you'll find are in gospel music. I've played a lot of secular and non-secular gigs, and I have to say, sometimes I have more freedom playing gospel. And don't let someone get caught up in the spirit - you then have permission to JAM!!! lol

It's amazing how things change - when I was a young'un singing on the choir, we had cats like CeCe Rogers funkin' things up (he even had us doing a funked-up version of "When the Saints Go Marching In), the older folks hated it. Nowadays, the preacher is exhorting us all to take solos and rock out...

Modern day christian music is pretty funky. James Brown and George Clinton have been sampled in a few gospel songs.

Besides, I don't know how many of u go 2 church, but a lot of church musicians tend to get funky on Sunday's. I'll never forget hearing Cameo's Shake Your Pants re-worked as a christian song. I felt so dirty listening to that in church.

That happens a lot - and it's fun to do wink The funniest thing is seeing the looks on the faces of people who recognize the song!

Hi Lilly. I don't think I've heard any of the music that you listed. You turned me off when you listed the /Hip Hop. lol But seriously, any form of music can be funky as long as you got funky people making it. I would love to see more funky gospel music.....I might go to church more often with my hethen self. lol Speaking of a hip hop gospel song though, I absolutely love MC Hammer's "Do Not Pass Me By".

Me too. And a lot of the female house singers with the loud voices definately have a voice for gospel music. Martha Wash would make a great funky gospel singer.

I hate to say it, but beyond experiencing its energy while actually in church, I don't like the sound or conventions of most contemporary gospel music I hear. I prefer the old school: Mahalia Jackson, old Al Green or Aretha, James Cleveland... or even older standards the likes of which we find in the Negro spiritual or white southern rural traditions. I just feel the soul of that stuff more. And then there is even older ecclesial stuff that I really enjoy, like old Irish religious ballads, baroque organ work and ancient choral music. (I could jam on "Laudate Dominum" much harder than "Stomp." lol)

There is some contemporary work I can't slough off, though -- Yolanda Adams, for example, is extraordinary. And I like the pop accessibility of dc Talk and certain secular bands who occassionally wax spiritual.

I agree with u 100%. I love modern christian music, but my heart tends to only get MORE inspiration for a good James Cleveland song (especially Peace Be Still). I like Kirk, J. Moss, and others, but my heart belongs to traditional gospel.
