A radical Christian group has denounced the influence of hip-hop culture and also specifically condemned legends KRS-One and Afrika Bambatta. In an editorial, Ex-Ministries Church states that hip-hop culture is rooted in witchcraft and preaches a plethora of negatives.

The church issued a statement that said, “People, please understand that hip-hop is a way of governing your life. Therefore, it cannot be exploited as a Christian way of living. We understand that KRS-ONE and Afrika Bambaataa have used the term Hip Hop to describe emceeing, deejaying, breakdancing, and other forms of entertainment, but Hip Hop is also, to them, a religion and a way of worshipping ourselves instead of the Lord Jesus Christ. How can we as believers hold on to this culture when its origin is rooted in witchcraft and voodoo?”

Neither KRS-One nor Bambaataa were available, but veteran photographer Ernie offered BET.com his views. "A prophet is always a man without honor in his own time. I do not agree with everything Bro. Bambaataa believes or he with I, but we respect each other deeply and will defend each other against anyone outside or inside the family who attacks us without sound reason. He has warned us, united us, kept us from harming ourselves and each other and has been a shining example of how to do things right and just.”

chirstianity is so judgemental.They look down on everything.

lol word religion is evil

Yo In my opinion, that is a racist comment by those people.....however not all christianity beliefs are judgementals, I am a muslim and black so I receive twice racism sometimes, They do look down, but so do other religions, I think all religions need to respect each others privacy and if they want to try to preach to our fellow brothers and sisters, do it with respect not violence.........

now who knew Inter had some education in him lol
