Is it a sin to listen rap music and go to clubs?

Question

I'm trying to get closer to God and I love going to clubs and dancing, by myself because guys are crazy. I like watching Flavor of Love and Bet. Is that a sin.

Answer 1

Rap is a sin in all religions. Going to clubs isn't.

Rap (derived from the word "crap") is theme music for the black community, and MTV. Of course, Lil' Jon is the leader. The process of creating a rap song is as follows:

1.) First, you must create a TOTALLY PIMP-SOUNDING and preferably illogical pseudonym because regular old names are too boring for today’s X-TREME generation.

2.) You must write songs about highly innovative and original topics such as sex, drugs, and violence to establish yourself as a TOTALLY UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL because those topics have never been written about before or even discussed for that matter. Remember, nobody likes a poseur!

3.) When you write a song, go for style and not substance! Make sure you rhyme as many times as you can. Don’t worry about sacrificing the coherence of your message to all your forced rhyming; there’s no substitute for KOOL!!! In fact, the more incoherent your song is, the better.

4.) Make sure to repeatedly lace your lyrics with random vocal interjections such as “uh-huh”, “yeah”, and “das right” to remind everyone that you’re TOTALLY OFF THE HOOK. Of course, these meaningless vocal spasms of **** do not serve to the fill the void when you can’t think of more substantial things to rap about.

5.) Give your completed lyrics to a 4th grader. If he understands what’s being said, you’ve done well.

6.) Don't even bother about singing because that takes talent and effort. Just talk in somewhat of a rhythm—occasionally. Just speak normal the rest of the time (well, as normal as a black person can speak). Make CERTAIN that you butcher the English language as much as you can. Never speak correctly. That's not being TOTALLY PIMP, YO!!!

7.) Turn on the radio to a rock station. Listen for a catchy guitar riff and record it. Synthesize it, and alter it slightly. Loop it about 100 times and you have your VERY OWN, NON-PLAIGARIZED rap song. Next, drop random samples of police sirens and loading guns to show everyone that YOU’RE A BAD-*** REBEL. Then give yourself a cookie.

8.) Eat a lot of beans and fart in a recorder. Effect it, and you have bass.

9.) Sit on your lazy, narcissistic *** and let other people who are more talented than you mix the CD.

10.) Put a picture of a hot woman on your CD cover to compensate for your lack of hot women in the real world. Also, do it to boost the sales of your CD because you know your **** sucks.

11.) It is impossible for a rap "song" to be by just one rapper. It's a little known fact that every rap song features at least 100 other rappers, most of which are unknown. In fact the majority of every rap CD isn't the actual rapper.

Answer 2

If you feel that rap and clubbing are getting between you and God, then perhaps it is something you need to give up.

rap in itself is not a sin, but would you listen the same music that you do if Jesus were in the room?

There are christian rappers. The ones that I listen to are John Reuben and ill harmonics, but you probably wouldn't like them as they are not mainstream rap.

Answer 3

None of that is a sin, unless you practice what they rap about, or really "grind-it" at the clubs. Listening to that type of music and going to clubs opens the door for your actions to follow. For this reason they are discouraged, but not a sin in themselves.

Answer 4

R&B, Contemporary Hawaiian, Reggaeton, Some Rap...

Answer 5

Have you actually listened to some of the lyrics of this type of "music"? If you think God appreciates songs about meaningless sex, drugs, and violence with profanity thrown in just for the fun of it, then by all means keep listening. If you want to get closer to God, pray for advice and follow His lead.

God Bless you and Happy New Year.

Answer 6

I dont beleive there is sin. "Sin" is just what we beleive to be right and wrong. But since your trying to get closer to god, ill try to say it in a Christian-y point of veiw....

RAP ISNT A SIN.

thats the lowest, craziest thing i've ever heard.

Some rap is pretty graphic, but not ALL RAP. people who say that are STEROTYPING, and sterotyping IS a sin.

Tupac, for example, raps about life and how hard it is.

NO MUSIC IS SIN -- its how people express their feelings, nothing else.

Going to clubs isnt a sin eaither. Neither is dancing.

and Flavor of Love isnt a dam sin its a TV show.

and BET isnt a sin, its a goddam TV Channel.

Your not sinning, and if anyone says you are then tell them to f.u.c.k off.

Answer 7

There is christian Rap. And im sad to break it to ya, but your not supposed to fellowship with people of the world. I admire the fact that you want to please God though. But try doing stuff fun with church friends. I do that and Its fun. And its better to be around people who understand you. Good luck and i hope you can keep continuing doing what God wants. Fight the Temptation of the Devil. And Flav is not a sin. God Bless,

Answer 8

Nein-nooooooooooo

Answer 9

No. Rap music is talent-free. I hasve never heard so many references to drugs, alcohol, and woman put-downs in my life after one "song" of the rap persuasion.

I listen to heavy metal, and they speak of death, which is the only true thing in this world.

Answer 10

Listening to rap and going to clubs is not a sin......You shouldnt be drinking alcohol but you can go and have a good time.

Answer 11

no, none of that is a sin.
even christians know it's not a sin... because jesus use to go to the bars, infact, had some w h o r e wash his feet.
go figure!
