Themes of Christianity in rap music refers to the use of lyrics, messages and images relating to the religion of Christianity within the genre of Hip-Hop and Rap music. Christianity has influenced some of the most influential and biggest names in Rap, including Chance the Rapper, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. While these names, along with others do not necessarily preach Christianity, it is clear that their lyrics and themes are heavily influenced by the religion. Hip hop music refers to a genre that arose in the 1970s, and expanded into a larger culture and one of the most popular genres in the world. Rap, an essential part of Hip-Hop music, refers to the practice of speaking lyrics over a beat. Themes in Hip-Hop and Rap can involve anything, and tend to vary, but are not limited, by the region from which the rapper originates. Los Angeles, and more specifically, Compton rappers, including 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, YG, and Kendrick Lamar, tend to fall under the category of "gangsta" rap, speaking on themes of violence, as well as partying in the inner city. However, New York rappers, such as Notorious B.I.G., Nas, and Joey Bada$$ have created a genre characterized by thoughtful, and careful lyrics along with delivery. While the themes in rap music tend to center around certain ideas, artists from all over the country have incorporated ideas relating to Christianity in their music. Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the teaching of Jesus Christ. Common themes within Christianity include miracles, repentance of transgressions, the positive qualities and effects of God himself, and people’s destination following their life on earth, referring to Heaven and Hell.
