I am unfamiliar with Nick Norelli, but he felt inspired to respond to T.C.'s thoughts on Holy Hip Hop and Calvinism. Check it out!

Edit: Nick found it necessary to describe his reaction to T.C.'s second post.

Nick Norelli's Responds, again

This is only the beginning. I hope that we can all continue this conversation. I think we all believe this is too important. The relationship between human worship and godly teaching must discussed if the Church is to embody God's reign in the 21st century.

Calvinism and Holy Hip Hop

My friend T.C. has been writing about the influence of Calvinist theology on Christian rap music, i.e., Holy Hip Hop.

Calvinism and Holy Hip Hop I

Calvinism and Holy Hip Hop II

T.C., while his assessment of Calvinists' dominance over the Holy Hip Hop industry is correct, he is mistaken to refer to this type of music and entertainment as hip hop. In fact, it would be suffice to say that HHH, as it is presented to a majority white upper middle class Christian audience, is more in line with secular rap rather than the hip hop industry. Rap Music is different from hip hop, and I plan to explain the difference in an upcoming post on "Towards a Holy Hip Hop Theology of Freedom," a reconstructive effort to ever so slowly undermine the monopoly the Calvinist theological grip on the Christian rap game. That is all I have for now. Enjoy T.C.'s sharp insights in the mean time!

Here are 2 past posts on my views on Calvinists (one actually recovered from my now defunct Xanga account):
