The Hip-Hop Moment that Touched Me!

​I am sure this is what Syd felt like in Brown Sugar. I am sure that my hip hop appreciation reached a peak last night. And I am sure that my soul was encouraged. Watching DMX and Snoop talk purely and jam out authentically did something to my soul. I know y'all like-what? How, sis? But, from the prayer to the genuine gem drops and laughter throughout, I was touched.

Touched mostly because the music that DMX and Snoop have gifted the culture is a true reflection of God's grace. For me, it reminded me of a two things.

---

1. Life is hurtful, and the way people channel hurt can lead to beautiful outcomes.
2. God speaks through us all and that the Spirit is always moving

While many things can be critiqued (problematic lyrics written in the early 90s), I would much rather focus on the joy and artistic reflection that exuded from both men. Given the hardships of life each experienced they still were able to stand in a gift that God gave them. And I can't be offended by their perspectives from their experiences.

Their expressions are theirs to share, and I am so glad they've maintained the courage to stand before society and offer their gifts in spite of. They kept it 100 with each other and honor their stories. 


                                                          I needed to feel that!


                                                               Hip Hop won last night
                                                The culture was encouraged last night 
                                                                                      &
                                  Healing is winning right now, and word to DMX- Write the pain 


Be Well & Love Well ,
