Video Commentary on Jesus the Ganster?

In this video I watched with Pastor Marvin Miles and Tiny"DeeBo"Lister they are being intervied by the host of Good News Talk Show. This show went on to discuss about the play they developed. It started from an incident in which a Detroit youth was shot point blank and died. The motivation behind the play was looking at what good can they get out of this situation. They realized something had to be done so Pastor Marivn Miles flew in "Deebo" and they worked on developing a play which would touch the lives of a city that is known for its high crime and murder rates. "Deebo" speaks of his various roles in TV & movies and says that none of the roles he plays matches the biggest "gangster", Jesus. He goes on to talk about who else do you know that rose from the dead after 3 days, who else could feed 5,000 from a biscuit and a piece of fish.




I personally know of Tiny Lister's involvement in Christian media because he also came to my church in Sacramento, Calvary Christian Center. He did a play at my church called "Gotta Get Out" In this play it is very graphic and has the goal of reaching out to the youth to minister the gospel to them in a very realistic setting of rape, murder, suicide, drugs, etc. This is another yet successful venture for urban Christian media.In this article I have included the commercial from "Gotta get Out":

HIP HOP GOSPEL BEING ENDORSED IN THE CORPORATE WORLD

I read a press article from one of my actual mentors in the media industry. My mentors name is Mr. Timothy "Bliss" Jones. He is definitely a strong force in the Christian media/business arena with over 15 successful websites and counting. For example he has datinggodsway.com,  mixtapeministry.com, djplayme.com, blissgraphicstudio.com, ardyssbliss.com, blissmusicauction.com and much more. In the article Mr. Jones discusses the ever increasing trends that the Hip Hop Gospel is alluring. Hip Hop Gospel is the fusion of 2 unseemly genres merging together to promote Christ through music. This genre is even getting the attention of billionaire Donald Trump who personally picked "Rawservant" a Hip Hop Gospel rapper to be on his show "Donald J. Trump Presents The Ultimate Merger."Bliss explains in the article that this will attract others that have money to notice the genre like Oprah Winfrey. Also Hip Hop Gospel artist like Trip Lee continue to get airplay on secular shows as BET's 106 & park. This is yet another accomplishment in urban Christian media. Lets get it!

The Christian Youtube.

GodTube.com is a website that has swept Christian media since its beginning in 2007. This site was founded by Christopher Wyatt, Jason Martell, Llyod Chartrand, and the current owners are the Salem Web Network. GodTube is just as it sounds a Christian YouTube which uses video sharing, online communities, and rating systems. This website has went through a few transitions by using the name GodTube and then switching to tangle.com and now they are two different online communities under the same umbrella. GodTube boast over 2.7 million users since 2009 and it continues to expand. Also GodTube was recently recognized as "Hottest Texas Companies" by Lead411. This is another great victory for Christian media which conversely benefits urban Christian media.

Who is that guy in the top 3 of the Itunes charts?

Some are wondering who is the guy in the # 3 position on the Itunes charts only preceded by 2 others. The # 2 position  was held by Kenny Chesney and # 1 by Lil Wayne. People all over the world are wondering who is this guy and where did he come from. His name is Lecrae he is a Christian rapper from Houston, Texas and this is actually his third Solo album. He is part owner of the record label Reach Records and he has other artists who have also made great debuts on the Itunes charts (i.e. Trip Lee & Sho Barracka). Lecrae is not your average rap artist, on the day that he released his album he was actually in Sudan catering to the people there who are in constant warfare. He stated, "Therefore, at the height of my new album REHAB, I plan to be in Southern Sudan. Sudan has been obliterated by war for so long, resulting in over two million casualties."Yeah this is definitely not like your average rapper who would be constantly checking the sound scan, twitter, facebook, and Itunes to see what the stats are. Along with a great fan base, word of mouth, a rehab logo, radio ads, and viral marketing Lecrae has made quite a debut with the project titled "REHAB". This is a great milestone for urban Christian media and will continue to break barriers for other artists.
