Is there any good rap that isn't offensive?

Question

I love the genre of music called rap, but i'm a christian so i don't appreciate the swearing, talk about drugs, and talk about ho's. Is there any good clean rap? and good christian rap? I probably wouldn't like a rap song about jesus....help

Answer 1

ummmm well, i would say. uh, nah i dont think so actually

Answer 2

There are some good answers here already, so all I can add is a suggestion that you go back in time to the 1940's and 50's. What??? Yes, they had "rap" then, although it didn't have that name. Basically, rap is where instead of singing the lyrics or the poem that goes with the music, the artist speaks them. See if you can find something by Phil Harris, who used to do this a lot. Totally clean, no swearing, no drugs, no "ladies of the night" mentioned. He was very good.

Answer 5

Yeah there is, but most of the "PG" to "PG-13" variety of rap is either old school (i.e. - Run-DMC, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, etc.) or in the underground circuit . For starters, you might want to give the group Ugly Duckling a try. Check out their "Taste The Secret" album - it's hilarious, and no profanity whatsoever.
