it's The GOD in me!

okay folks,I've been gone for a while I know but I'm back!!!!How was Easter?
Today I'm focusing on 1 of my fave(but controversial songs),Mary Mary's God in Me. The video is finally out but with some touchy issues attached. Yes the lyrics of the song seem to have too much swag n all but there's a bottom line message of God being the source of everything "good"(in this case material stuff) of course there's a thin line between pride and gratitude in this case but I personally see the song as a God pointer.
So what's wrong with the video?well we've got peeps like Kanye West and Common in it,hmmmm.....what's happening?'cause if we remember the album's weakest song(arguably) had erm...David Banner on it.Seems like bait to draw out Elder Craig Lewis right?well I won't say anything for now 'cause it's said that in the video only the "gospel" folks like Kiki Sheard,Isreal Houghton,and of course the Campbell Sisters themselves were on stage while the "other" folks including Heavy D and David Banner were not.Moral,Christians are above non-christians?hmmmmm...
Another argument is that this LOST folks need help,so the sisters extended some the Jesus way(remember Mary Magdalene?)
Don't wanna judge nobody but i just hope nobody goes astray thinkin we as Christians endorse these kinda secular artists....lemme know what you think,say something,leave a comment...

P.s other cool videos are ot like Lecrae's Don't Waste Your Life and Jahaziel's In My Neghbourhood

The Sound Of Good Music

Everybody listens to the radio @ one point or the other right? Well another puzzling question is “what the heck are we listening to?”… Enter MaryMary and The Sound, awesome radio station, awesome hits, and awesome listening experience… yeah all this blabbing happens to be about the concept behind MaryMary’s latest effort, The Sound. Just for the record this album got a couple of Grammy nominations and one of the singles duly won (Recognize!!!). Of course the concept behind it is nothing short of one in a million, an album that is supposedly the playlist of an imaginary radio station (Mind Block Radio) and in stark contrast to the station’s name this album has the same effect as dynamite on the mind, it’s just one big mind opener! How/Why? For one we’ve never heard the Campbell Sisters sing like this, Crunk, Funk, (whatever you want to call it) they’ve gone ahead and re-defined contemporary gospel music, and the guests on the station? Kierra Kikki Sheard , Marvin Winans just to mention a couple.
I’ve been hooked on this album and I think I’m even beginning to annoy my roommates! But trust me you can’t resist The Sound!!! The Sound is … The Sound (what more can I say?) in my opinion any female singer looking for a sorta standard shouldn’t look too far, the arrow points at “the two Marys” who by the way seemingly gave us a sneak preview of their new prowess when they took out the bridge on Deitrick Haddon’s “Love Him like I Do”. Like I said I’ve really bugged my roommates with this album and I feel you too should get accustomed to The Sound….

Favorite Jams? Get Up, I’m Running, I Worship You, God In Me, Seattle.

Grammys 2009 Heartbreaks and/or Healing?

Yup!the Grammys came, the Grammys left, in it’s wake a couple of broken hearts and even more conspicuos small children bickering(don’t wanna mention names) as usual in the “gospel category there were more black winners than white(inconsequential or not? You tell me)most of my peeps won, most of them didn’t,but Joel 2 is becoming more of a reality sha in music and otherwise!!
