[@Heaven7671]

So proud to see Christian brothers and sisters taking a stance for God in today's society

[@CatalystRaps]

The reason Lecrae is so respected is because he's a Christian man who has a message, but he doesn't push Christianity on anyone. He spreads his beliefs through his actions and his songs, and doesn't judge people for what they believe. I feel like if more Christians were tolerant and humble like him, they wouldn't get such a bad reputation.

[@iamhughey10]

What would you say about John the baptists message then? Jesus called him the greatest prophet born of a woman, Yet the man called people "snakes." The world is shaping Christianity instead of Christianity shaping the world.. Our message has gotten soft.. So now the world is taking over! And the church is acting just like them! What would the apostles say if they saw the condition of the church today? Yes I understand what you are saying.. But for most people, "love" is without truth.. And that's not the real Jesus! Jesus loved the woman at the well, but still told her how many times she committed adultery.. Did he love her? Of course! But would it have been love if He had not of told her her sin? That's the real question..

[@CatalystRaps]

iamhughey10 John the Baptists' message was the same as LeCrae's. One of repentance and love. I never said it's not important to say the truth or spread the gospel, but Christ didn't come to the world to condemn it, he came to love and save it. There's a way to tell people of their sin and show them love without condemning them, and condemnation is not the most important job of christianity.

[@bethel4348]

Catalyst You're right! The reason many people turn away from christianity is not because of a problem they have with god or jesus but because of the attitudes of christians.. and that's really sad.

[@yonimacaroni8688]

Catalyst How do christians have a bad reputation? What do they do to get disrespect?

[@CatalystRaps]

Yonatan Bisrat for being hypocritical and judgemental

[@freestylemattrick]

You can tell sway really appreciated him, great interview

[@JoshJackmanMusic]

A lot of respect too which is really awesome

[@khalilbelvin8426]

Yes Lecrae is definetly in relationship with Christ not Religion...

[@tblev97]

+Khalil Belvin I never really understood this until I read "Jesus > Religion" by Jefferson Bethke.

[@khalilbelvin8426]

Thanks for the recommendation

[@khalilbelvin8426]

Tristan Blevins Thanks for the recommendation

[@Whoisthistho]

yeah man, it's what's Christianity is about

[@tony2300]

He said there’s nothing with drinking. Don’t compromise. You don’t here the gospel is his music anymore

[@H0lyPh3n0m]

"if you ain't seen my Lord, wait for the sequel" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jfer2349]

Awesome seeing a great rapper who does not smoke weed, hit the strip clubs, drink. What a great role model. Someone who is stepping away from the stereotypes.

[@blqhk942]

*Agree button*

[@eastside900]

i love how he just threw that freestyle like it was nuthin... LOVE CRAE ! 116 baby !

[@dantheliar57]

for the record, when asked about drinking.. Lecrae said it's okay to "kick ONE back" he never said it's ok to be drunk.. which in the bible says is clearly not ok. Lecrae is a highly intelligent man and artist, I pray God continues to use him in great ways.

[@daivenigga63]

i thought the bible said drink without drunkenness? even Jesus had wine. what passage are you referring to?

[@dantheliar57]

That's exactly what I'm saying brother. Its okay to drink but not okay to drink so much that you get drunk. "And don't get drunk with wine, wherein excess, but be filled with the holy spirit". -Ephesians 5:18. I'd also like to clarify that Jesus drank wine because back then it was very hard to come by clean drinkable water, so everybody drank wine with their food as it was clean and drinkable.

[@daivenigga63]

so lecrae and the bible says its okay to drink but not get drunk, what was the point of your post?

[@dantheliar57]

will gip My friend sent me a link stating that Lecrae was saying it's okay to drink. So I watched this and if you're younger and watch it you might think by him saying "if you wanna drink, drink, do yo' thang" that it's okay as a Christian to get drunk. I just wanted to clarify what he meant with my comment..

[@coby00]

Good job Crae. He represents Christ well. The world & the church both seem to like him and yet he doesn't compromise on his convictions. A tricky position to hold but Jesus did the same, hanging around prostitutes & crooked government figures but not scared to call sin for what it is. We as the church gotta stand back & let him do his thing. He is a much needed voice.

[@pistol7235]

This guy is totally a Rapper that is a Christian!! He's not only rapping or persuading to be a Christian Rapper, he's actually living the life of a Christian!!!

[@cblev3694]

Lecrae gets too much flack for what he has to say. He's point on about everything he's saying. The drinking, the clothing, all that. Doesn't matter. He wants you to come as you are to his music and hear the Message. He's not focused on changing hearts by changing actions, like most Christians are... He's focused on changing hearts, and allowing that to change their actions.

[@OCTAVIAakaQueenO]

I love this comment!

[@matts7657]

Well put! We're saved by faith and faith begets good works, not the other way like some think.Sanctification is a process as well. Pray for me!

[@shadowman4084]

see this is my beef with alot of Christians on here and this is why i think alot of people dont take us seriously. we are never united as a movement or a message. whenever there is a christian doing something there are always other Christians claiming there are not about God or not a true representation of a godly person. look i applaud lacrae for what he is doing and trying to do because it is positive and i believe he is doing his best to represent God as best he can. is anyone perfect? of course not but lets stop bashing our brothers and sisters trying to spread the word how they can. as much as some of you bash him what are YOU doing to further the Kingdom of God other than criticize what he is doing?

[@EllisSkyypage]

oh my gosh! thank youuuu so much!

[@dominicakadc]

exactly. thank you.

[@ZaydayAllday]

Yesss! Exactly, Jesus is using his gift to reach the lose in the hip-hop culture or even hood/trap environment. The message no matter who, where you at or what you are Jesus came to save us too!

[@SkaterBoyProductions]

word up, well said

[@krushervince]

True dat brother. Respect!

[@2eggrollz]

"If you aint seen my Lord man, wait for the sequel" Mmmmm Crae goin in on em. Talkin bout the Jesus return.

[@minaminarinarina]

My pops is a pastor and he doesn't get a dime from the church. everything that comes in from the offering goes straight back into the church wether it's for rent or things for the Sunday school or instruments. we even help out people in the community. you're in that position to share Gods word and to help take care of the people. church isn't about money but so many people have lost sight of that.

[@Yomarshell]

+Nathanael Bunge if you have faith god provides

[@silverenigma9527]

+Duck Gam3ing Just like he does to those who "have faith", that get their heads sawed off? No. If you want something done, you need to do it yourself, with the help of another, or simply accept it as an impossibility and move on.

[@Yomarshell]

if your a christian ...faith is a big part God will provide

[@Thelilantjr]

Mina C yeah I get upset when people have the sterotype all pastors are rich.

[@matts7657]

Wish i could find a church like yours. Churches i been at the pastors press the flock and talk about how they gotta pay everyone's salary. Seemed off too me.

[@castrokobe24]

No Sway. LeCrae is a Christian.... who happens to rap.

[@zBaseball77z]

yes sir!!

[@blackknightdl]

Why can't he be both, it depended from which view you're seeing it from

[@justedge6477]

which is wrong

[@reformationofthegospelofya6454]

lie from the pit of hell jesus said you must be born again and the bible hereby we know that we know him if we keep his commandments he that says i know and kepp not his commandments is a liar

[@tony2300]

I don’t think so. Chance the rapper is a Christian but he ain’t a Christian rapper. Lecrae is a Christian rapper

[@WestcoastBlackTV]

SWAY excellent interview one of your BEST! Sorry this brotha is the man!!

[@BradleyRubin]

Lecrae is a great dude, a worthy role model, and he spits fire too. Glad we have guys like him.

[@mistikalnawe]

interesting. people are always gonna hate lol that wont stop his personal walk tho! God knows his heart.

[@KiddCady]

We also know his heart simply by his fruit which is Not Of God but rather of Satan he and many others who don't believe in Matthew 5:48, Romans 3:8-9, ect... are not of God. We are to try the spirits 1 John 4:1-6 to see if they are of God so he and ya'll who try to defend his work and listen to satans lies "We will always sin as long as we're in this flesh" are not of God and will be in hell with the Catholics, Atheist, baptist, Mormons, and all who believe the lie. plain and simple. Also look up TrueCore08 Channel for more info....

[@mistikalnawe]

***** LOL like i said. People are always gonna hate. Thank goodness we dont have the final say though lol and that God's opinion is all that matters. So, arguments are useless at this point. Worry about your own heart and soul love :) thats all you will need to "argue for" when He comes.

[@jbooks888]

***** *1 John, Chapter 1* 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

[@mrscorpionk2193]

jbooks888 Question is not WHEN we sin but IF we sin. God Said to the Woman at the well "... GO and SIN NO MORE" For those who are Christians this is what you do. For the Unbeliever it is God gives grace to the Humble, but Opposes the Proud. James 4:6 Hence we all sinned. Although we should ..."No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God." 1 John 3:9.. So stating that we all sin after being born again is not Accurate and Strive not to SIN. Its not WHEN (implying it will happen) it is IF (implying we FALL, jumping in is not the same as Falling or tripping).

[@MsGoldenR]

***** amen

[@shutahekup]

Love that others have taken notice to your gift. Keep doing what you're doing. Huge fan of Reach Records and RMG!!!

[@kn0ckamus]

Lol I love crae's reaction at 5:30!! I'm proud of this dude, been a fan of his music when he had like 2000 fans on MySpace lol

[@airborn101st]

Everybody is arguing about illuminati and im just sitting here staring at lecrae's tangled headphone wires.

[@ashleyevans9716]

airborn101st 😂😂😂😂 frfr

[@jtheman4678]

airborn101st you mean the headphones that belong to sway??

[@rasheenas_show1187]

😂🤦‍♀️😂😂😂

[@jbooks888]

The Pharisees didn't like the fact that Jesus hung our with tax collectors and 'sinners', those despised by the religious leaders of the time. Jesus went into the 'culture' of these people to reach them. He didn't just sit on his Hallowed Throne and preach down to folks.

[@Anon62796]

jbooks888 Paul and Barnabas disagreed. Both furthered the kingdom of Christ. It’s okay to disagree with lecrae and his method. “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14 KJV

[@StanVanalstine]

I do not listen to a lot of rap music so I haven't heard much of "Lecrae The Rapper" but I find his preaching very inspirational.Keep up the good work Lecrae for you are definitely changing lives, mine included.

[@raydennis16]

Enjoyed the interview. LeCrae's a good dude. Proud of him.

[@RioSoul83]

I don't understand how people could be overly critical of Lecrae when they're not doing half of the things that he's doin. He's out on the court putting points on the scoreboard while others are warmin up the bench and talkin smack. Shut up and do something to positively impact the lives of others yourself, and while you're at it, download that Church Clothes 2, and let others know about it as well.

[@ozotkd2001ify]

Lecrae is legit, God bless you bro!!!

[@lilcray99]

This dude is truly blessed✊🏾🔥💯

[@keithwheeler9796]

Lecrea!!!!! Your message has helped my hope and heart greatly.

[@andrewthomas3467]

Yo I love Lecrae but that freestyle just took it to a whole other level.

[@aaronkennon]

I like his face when he said the donkey was a Bentley. SO GOOD!!!!

[@nicholascraig-mcfeely1994]

love lacrae's work. all for gods glory reppin!!

Lets get it my man. You got it, Gob bless

Look at how Lecrae acts. That's how humility looks. A saint.

THIS WAS 2013 PEOPLE STILL COMMENT ON THIS THAT IS THE REAL GOD FLOW AND IT IS THE LORD

[@thurveebeats]

The intro to these videos is too funny 🤣 and great interview

[@GracielaAlexandraa]

This was one of my favorite interviews

[@1luvnuall]

actually one of the best freestyles i've heard on sway. glad he stepped up to unlike a LOT of them.

[@ballzofury1]

This is not a freestyle. Check out Church Clothes Vol 2. You'll find it's the same.

[@UMANEDAKIDD19]

Tyrone Moore FREESTYLE IS OFF TOP OF THE HEAD.

[@1luvnuall]

***** sway allows for written lyrics tho. hey, i'm an old head. freestyle to me means off top too but i see how things have changed so i can roll with it.

[@silverenigma9527]

Drinking is not sinful. Becoming drunk is a sin.

[@diamondingram7462]

so they rode jackasses

[@keithlamar3983]

It harms your body and the body is gods temple..so in a way, it is

[@BenjaminDod]

I mean Jesus drank, but whateva you see

[@davidrapana9604]

it says its good for your stomach but that doesn't mean go ahead and go hard. But another thing to keep in mind is not to be a stumbling block for your brother, so if you know someone that struggles with being an alcoholic you wouldn't drink in front of him and be a stumbling block. But drinking in itself is not a sin binge drinking is...

[@nicholasmanoukian]

drinking the slightest is making you drunk even if you don't notice it. you don't drink something alters your mind. thats a s in

[@MrsFertilityFreak]

that freestyle though!! Yes Love Lecrae!

[@hollowhappiness]

Lacrae is awesome I love his message he took me from gangsta rap to Christian rap and it was my pastor who said"listen to lacrae""Im Turnt"...lol the rest is history thank you god for rappers like lacrae.....amen

[@jsmathis2]

S/O to Lecrae man! He's doing his thing! Drinking in it self is not a sin being drunk is! Throwing on back ain't never hurt nobody! He didn't say strip clubs is ok, he said "that's not my thing, but if you want to go I don't judge it''. Crae is promoting hope without trying to judge people. Don't judge or you to will be judge Matt 7:1! We gotta be careful because when we judge it turns people away!! # 11six

[@iamlaurengill]

Crae's reaction to the Preachers of LA question bwahahahaha

[@Fanoffanservice]

That freestyle at 13:23 sooooooo sick, and preachin the good word, amen brotha! "If you ain't seen my Lord man, jus wait for the sequel"

[@JOHNWALLACE.]

great interview,sway picked the right man for this interview.

[@jayray1489]

Much better than that kanye interview....

[@ddelaporte64]

The seven deadly sins are not Biblical. No sin is unforgivable except for the complete rejection of God.

[@user-yh3cy8tj1d]

***** I just wanted to address the working towards salvation thing. True, salvation isn't something we can earn. To support, Ephesians 2:8-9 says for BY GRACE are ye saved, but the second part of the verse says THROUGH FAITH. Also to chain to this verse is Philippians 2:12, Paul said, Work out YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and with trembling. So to connect the two, No we can't earn the opportunity of salvation, because if God was fair with us, We'd all be on our way to hell, because all of us are sinners, and have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 2:23.) But God does require things of us to secure our positioning. The second part of Ephesians 2:8-9 is that we are saved by GRACE ( unearned ), THROUGH FAITH. God requires us to have faith. And if you understand Faith, you'd understand that Faith without works is dead, being alone (James 2:26.) Also timing in the scripture from phillipians that we ned to WORK our salvation out with FEAR (reverence because we don't deserve salvation) and trembling (reverence and humility: submission to the will of God.) So No! We can't earn the opportunity of salvation, but we do have to work for our salvation to be saved, otherwise the bible would only have 2 scripture in it.

[@peacheslovesjesus]

You mean the complete rejection of what JESUS did on the Cross.

[@peacheslovesjesus]

***** I am sure that's what you meant and it wasn't meant to make you feel bad. But we have to be specific. People believe in GOD and yet they reject CHRIST. Muslims believe in GOD but they reject CHRIST. See the difference? :)

[@kuningas1101]

peacheslovesjesus The same argument could be made by muslims. "Christians believe in God but reject Muhammad"

[@peacheslovesjesus]

OuroborosGaming I guess we will just have to see, huh? The difference: Allah says I have to die for him. GOD sent HIS SON to die for me. All the work has been done and anyone can be saved. Including Muslims.

[@TheDoemanu]

NICE DUDE LACRAE BE SPITTIN THAT FIRE. GODBLESS YOU.

[@ericlambert21]

[@TheGreattDane]

2:37 "I had to let that go." It's God or the world. Let it go

[@Lardface7]

"I got a skull on my head"

[@ardentchateau]

That's not wisdom. That was foolish. He's saying that if I wear satanic symbols it's okay. If I wear Wicca symbols, it's alright but the bible says to abstain from all appearance of evil. True religion and undefiled before God the father is to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself undefiled from the world. Is wearing satanic symbolism keeping yourself undefiled? It's like wearing a pentagram and calling yourself Christian, is that not hypocritical? Yeah, let's all wear skulls and cross bones and promote death but the bible says that death is an enemy and Jesus came to overcome death. So yeah, believe what you want but lecrae is just scared to get persecuted because he thinks if he isn't accepting to everyone's sin than he won't be able to spread the gospel to as many people. Good intentions but bad actions. God is just as happy with one person coming to him as a thousand anyway. Luke 15:7 "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance"

[@joshuacolindres3466]

Why is everyone flipping on him!? He himself has said he is not a Christian rapper, but a rapper who is Christian. No Christian is perfect, so instead of sending hate and judgmental comments, just pray if you feel so strongly about it.

[@simi6152]

No one is perfect. I respect his honesty!

[@sayhellotogoodbye]

Mad respect to both Sway and Lecrae

[@michaeljumpingjax]

Man, I see a lot of bashing on this vid. Can't we at least agree that Lecrae's a dope artist putting out nice music?

[@chrishammonds9217]

Let me just say this... If you look closely to his responses u can see how convicted he is. trying to preach but also not trying to hurt the feelings of the people he is talking to.... By no means are we suppose to be rude, but most of the time, people will not like when we stand up for what is actually right and wrong because they themselves are convicted... We are not perfect by any means, BUT living a CHRISTIAN life is about living for GOD. He clearly talks about himself and not about God and what God wants HIM to do at all... Just thought i'd share for anyone who this may minister to. God Bless You All.

Why can't he be both, if being a rapper is what God destine for him to do then why are you downsizing that. If a doctor is Christian, you wouldn't downsize him as a doctor.

[@robertreed2791]

But see theres surgeons, nurses, pediatricians, etc. A surgeon cant prescribe medicine. And a pediatrician doesnt perform surgery. Lecrae cant rap for the world and claim Christian. Jus like Drake wont make a song glorifying God.... you feel me?

[@sargentjohnson78]

I'm so tired of everyone asking Lecrae 'christian' questions. The man is an artist. Ask him questions about the craft and what not. You don't ask Kanye if he drinks or smokes but he proclaims to be a Christian...I just want to see him treated like a rapper. Come on sway

[@MrInternetuser2011]

Good Point. But perhaps because we all know Kanye life don't line up with the Word. 2) We as Christians are so diverse in our beliefs on sin and Christian liberties, that what Crae do or don't do, the next man that claims to be a Christian (Kanye?) thinks Crae is a Jesus freak and think nothing is wrong wit gettin turnt up on the weekends, even though they don't have a single scripture to support that. Nothin wrong wit bein a Jesus freak btw #IJS

[@fuegoreborn1041]

MrInternetuser2011 Thing is one who is trying to be of God, and of Christ, should not be bothered to be seen this way or that. I believe we should be viewed as trying to be faithful first, God above anything, and leave vain glory behind.

[@MilesTraveled]

drinking in moderation one thing but drunkedness and partying is sin

[@paulosborne8609]

partying isnt a sin...the crazy stuff that goes down at parties is lol

[@fuegoreborn1041]

Paul Osborne Agreed. partying is not sin. Children of Israel were know to have festivals for days at a time. Parties were originally a celebration of a joyful event such as marriage and when a child has been weaned. Now we have parties to commit adultery, and fornicate...and some even twerk for ya.

[@andrewbullard623]

funny that some of y'all are saying drinking is a sin when Jesus' first miracle was turning the water to wine

[@MalachiiBooks]

DO you know what wine was back in the days?

[@mattdavis5901]

Malakii X Wine.... do you know what it was 4000 years before jesus during the time of noah? wine... if wine wasn't alcoholic like it is today, then how did noah end up getting so drunk he passed out from drinking it? Plus the host of the wedding even said "most people wait til everyone has drank their fill, then pull our the cheap stuff, but you waited to pull the best out til now."

[@ardentchateau]

Matt Davis Ephesians 5:18 "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit" It's pretty simple..You can drink as long as it's not in excess. Being drunk is a sin and yes Noah sinned but his belief in God and his sacrifices to him are what justified him in the eyes of God. In the old testament God had mercy on the faithful and believing Psalm "If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared." But yes getting drunk is a sin..Drinking isn't. Why should you not drink? Because of the social temptations to get drunk with your friends and simply your witness for the Lord. Is it a good witness to be holding a beer and preaching to abstain from all appearance of evil like it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22? No I don't think so. Is it wise to remain drinking when you have a past of drunken parties or even some moments of drunkenness? No. The bible says to flee from temptation. It may not be a sin to get into a situation that can temp you but it's not wise, it's foolish because anyone can fall into any deadly sins. 1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not." The bible also says 1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." So you have to ask the question "What is my purpose in drinking alcohol? Is it to glorify God or is it just a selfish desire?" If it is a selfish desire than it would be wise to cast it away.

[@mattdavis5901]

ardentchateau that's what i was saying, it is not a sin to drink, it is a sin to get drunk... personally, i have never been much for alcohol myself, but i still have a long island or 2 every once and a while and i am fine with that because i don't care about getting drunk, i just simply like the taste... but to answer malakii's question, wine from scripture was still alcoholic, just as it is today, even if the process has been changed over time...

John 15:18-19 18"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19"If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.… Looks like Lecrae is of the world because Sway and everyone in the studio loves him because I see no signs of hate. Before you call me a hater read John 15:18-19 then watch the video again and see for yourself. Lecrae is not a man of God he is of the world it's right there in front of our eyes.

Thumbs up...have to keep Lacrea in our prayers.

[@chosenthedisciple]

Amen

[@burltube]

Chris C Notice the first word "If". If they hate you.... Duh

[@chosenthedisciple]

Chris C Lol read the scripture again.

[@derekwallis2232]

There is no way you can say Lecrae is or isnt a man of God unless you know him. The Bible says you can tell if a person is a Christian by what fruit they produce, and I am pretty sure he's reaching more people for Christ through his music than anyone of us will in our whole lives. I am not saying he is perfect, dont get me wrong, but you cannot just say hes not a man of God because hes a rapper and rappers have the reputation of being non Christians.

[@DoronBond]

the same "god-flow" he spat on Rock Da Bells cypha doh.... "if you don't know Jesus....you wanna see His sequel..."

[@AaronKlett]

Rappers do this all the time. It's a split second composition of words and rhymes they spin off the top of their head. So what if they recycle some of their material? Just sayin'...you do what he did on this video, or in his career..

[@DoronBond]

Aaron Klett Oh I know they do this all the time...I was just sayin......no issue wit me dude.....raps are like pages on a book....it's like when the last time you picked up a book that you've read before noticed that the words on the pages changed....lol

Modest and humbled is the key, better to give, then to receive. Amen. Pray for mission Vision.

Interesting topic

[@ihudiyawarrior9672]

Lecrae is an example of real Christianity.

[@BigYoesky]

Ihudiya Warrior actually the opposite

[@DerekLorenzoGaming]

"our body's a temple of the Holy Spirit" that was referring to sex, not drinking or anything else.. the bible speaks about not getting drunk, but anything else is based on conviction of the Holy Spirit... wearing skulls?? there is nothing wrong with wearing skulls.. dont be like a pharisee, adding crazy regulations onto what the bible says.. however, if you are convicted about wearing them, by all means, dont.. but allow the Holy Spirit to convict, thats what He does, and thats what we dont suppose to do..

[@deandretcollins]

It's funny cuz I ran out of weed this morning today and now u post this video

[@joelojeda9750]

That was god broo...

[@LouDubzENT]

Lecrae's reaction to the jackass/bently thing was priceless lol

[@soljaboi2005]

Drinking is not a sin, abuse is a sin. Get in your Bible man.

[@bluevioletize]

Right.

[@MiizEma]

|: As soon as a black rapper says he is Christian and he becomes famous, people start talking about how he is "fake", how he is "phony", how he is "illuminati" etc. Can't you just enjoy the music and believe the guy? Lecrae's been around for a long time and he is still the same person (ever since he has become a rapper)

[@marisah599]

emy. k i agree

[@miasistergang6495]

That freestyle was awesome love lacrae

[@EdisonFlow510]

lecraes face though when the pastor said that a donkey was equivalent to a bentley...lol
