Tha Q. 01-15-06 02:38 PM

It's official: No more "sinful" tracks from me
 
I've been going through a metamorphosis lately. Much of this I have God to thank for. And, I'd like to publicly declare my faith in Jesus Christ. I believe that God died for my sins and that I am saved through His grace. No man can judge me and there is no condemnation to me now that my heart and soul belong to Christ. This isn't a new thing or a "jail house" conversion as some of you may be thinking. I've always held to a conviction that God was on my side and loved me. I just detoured and entered into this back slidden state. I was recently baptized and joined a new church at the end of 2005. I can now say that I'm on the right road to becomming the man of God that He's pre-ordained me to be.

I won't be making any more "gangster" themed songs or "club" themed songs as long as I can help it. I feel a conviction in my spirit that that's wrong on my part. From now on, all of my songs will be gospel themed, life themed, or philosophically/politically themed. No one is perfect and we are all sinners. And, I struggle with trying to do right like the next man. The difference is, I confess my weaknesses to God and trust in Him to forgive me and lead me along the right path.

I'm not a "Christian" rapper. But, I am no longer a rapper who you'll be hearing "damaging" tracks from.


P.S....To those who will take a stance and say that I don't have a "right" to represent God because of my struggles with my issues (sexuality), to you I say, "judge not lest ye be judged." No one in this world doesn't struggle with SOMETHING God deems a sin. The bible condemns pride and fornication as much as the sexual sin I wrestle with. So, let's focus on what's important here, acknowledging Jesus as Lord of all and accepting Him as your savior.


That's all people.

That's good to hear Q.......I am also saved. I've accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior back in the summer of 2003. I haven't been as sinless as I would have hoped to have been, but I'm trying a different way to getting the message spread. I want to show people that you can lead a normal life and still go to heaven......you just have to live your life for Jesus Christ :thumbup:™

Don't get me wrong, I plan to make tracks relevant to life because I'm also a realist. I said I will be making NO more "gangster" or "club" songs.



And Enygma...good goin bro

Stay in that word man...the only way to equip yourself to deal with the ideologies that make it hard to lead a sin-free life--or a less sinful one.

Way to throw "Five Source Entertainment" out of the window. That shit had an extremely minimal chance to become known, but now it's pretty much at 0. Good decision making.

villagepimp 01-15-06 05:31 PM

Congrats Q, I'm glad to hear it.

Some people don't recognize exactly what you are talking about here, because they have never been brought to the light, or choose to not accept the fact that there is a God.

However, some of us are not smart enough to follow the path less followed, so thus, I'm still looking at eternal damnation. Damn. That sucks.

I dont support it.
I doubt if the Lord would like to be represented by a flaming homosexual.
but, I dont know.

Back off the man... he's made a choice to try to better his life for the Lord.

So, let him do that.

Zone Out 01-15-06 05:58 PM

the best way to better your life if you're a homosexual male is to become heterosexual male.

villagepimp 01-15-06 06:00 PM

If that is in God's plan for him, then that is what will happen.

i hate the term "saved"...

i mean no hate, thats awesome what you said, but in general just speaking of that word, its thrown around WAY too much by Baptists who think you just have some moment when you're automatically saved, then for the rest of your life you're going to heaven and everybody else is going to hell... i hate that, i (and most people at my church, Episcopalian) think of an everyday saving... you have to work to get closer and closer to God everyday of your life, its not a one time thing... i believe in salvation and the repentence of your sins, NOT just becoming "saved" then all of a sudden being a saint...

oh yeah, and attaboy Q :thumbup:
dont listen to the haters

but just dont be afraid to express your sinful thoughts through music, thats the only problem i have with Christian artists... everybody has un-Godly thoughts, and music is completely expression to me, so therefore its a tool to express any emotions you have, if you cant do that then music loses its whole meaning...

There's a difference between expressing what I think/feel and promoting it...

That's why I said I'll still make songs about life and philosophical concepts...

But, the biggest "change" is that I'll be dedicating some songs specifically to God as "gospel" rap.


Preciate the encouragement though

I know what you mean, but being saved is the first step to going to heaven. It says in the bible that you cannot go to heaven if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and when you do, it is considered being saved. This is the biggest thing that you will need to do to go to heaven. I know that there is much more to do after you are saved, but nothing is more tough than saying outloud in front of people that you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and Savior.

And to all those people that are getting on Tha Q saying that being a homo is a sin and God would not want to be represented by him.....well, the bible also says that all sins are equal. You can say a cuss word and it is the same in God's eyes as you killing someone....he said it is wrong, so you shouldn't do it. Now, with that said.....the bible also says that Jesus died for our sins, so it is through him that us sinners are allowed into heaven....you just have to believe in him and try to lead a good christian life.....and also repent :thumbup:™

you're slow if you believe that.
so when a serial killer goes out, kills people, rapes babies, pushes old women over then God has something to do with that!?

Hold on...

You took me out of context...

God has everything to do with everything.

Doesn't mean he's to blame for all... but everything happens because of God. God gave you the freewill so you can try to argue with me. God created man to be imperfect. see...

For real. Tha Q is so fucking hypocritical it's kind of sad. "I'm going to do my best to be as sin free as I can.. but on the side I'll have sex with men and ignore that part of the Bible!"

Stupid as shit. Either be sin free or don't. The Bible isn't something where you just like, pick the parts you want to follow and throw the other parts out. But, by doing that you're just making yourself look retarded as fuck.. which we're all used to seeing, so it's whatever.

Sobe. 01-15-06 07:15 PM

is he really gay?

like he plays with weiners????

Magic5 01-15-06 07:15 PM

Yeah, he's really gay.

Indeph 01-15-06 07:17 PM

I dunno why, but I just thought about something.

What if the whole world were gay? Shit, what if half the world were gay?

Incineratedrose 01-15-06 07:18 PM

then half the world would like guys?

Indeph 01-15-06 07:19 PM

Nah, I was thinking that the world would end due to noone having babies.

Magic5 01-15-06 07:20 PM

If half the world were gay, that'd still mean half of it was capable of producing babies. Meaning, civilization would go on. WHOO!
