I saw the documentary and loved it. However, I wish that the show had included a segment on Christian Rap. According to the point of the show, Gospel has been pushing boundaries and forcing ppl to constantly expand their notion of what is Gospel. Also, preaching and singing have been intertwined. Kirk Franklin was the first person to introduce hip hop to Gospel. Lecrae and other Christian rappers should now be considered a form of Gospel music.

I agree Kirk faced a lot of backlash that was mentioned on here the traditional gospel fans weren't ready for a change.
@jeromethompson38254 ай бұрын
Kirk wasn’t the “1st” but he def pushed it to mainstream. There was Christian rap back in the 1980’s. Even the Mississippi had a rap segment on an old album.

Great comment! Yes: that would have been, "Ken Burns- Jazz," and agree totaly, was one of the most comprehensive bios and it also came to mind while watching the gospel series. HL Gates did his homework on this, one of the main tv events for me, enjoying it more then the Superbowl #100

He doesn't have anybody speaking for "us". They're speaking for themselves, from their perspective.This special isn't about Christianity, it's about Gospel music. If you can't comprehend that Gospel music transcends religion, and affects many from all walks of life, then continue to live in your limited world. Their are non -Christians, atheists and agnostics who appreciate Gospel music. Grow up.
