I Luv Rap Music Lyrics


Some people out there givin' rap a bad name
Well I'm here to let you know, we ain't down with that
Come on
(Rap music)
The sound of the times, ya sorta talk lyrics to rhythm
And rhyme and then deliver in various ways
You know, some sorta preach, and some sorta play
Nevertheless, there's a common ground
(Word)
Ya know the def hip hop sound
Hyped up bass with a tiny snare
The subwoofer makes ya neighbor stare, but still
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
Now rap started as the voice of the street
A sorta politics to a ghetto beat
Then rappers started braggin' all about their gold
And the girlies, and the beepers
And the big, black Oldsmobile

In '83, the beatbox hit
Makin' funky drum sounds from out ya lips
But takin' on nu forms, rap has moved from the block
Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock, ya know
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
That makes me feel quite as chill
I luv rap music, ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
So if ya wanna hang with me, just better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
Concert time in my part of the town
Ya know, I brought my mom 'cause I knew she was down
She was flat groovin', but couldn't understand
How they makin' music when there ain't no band
And then she cried, "James," everybody stared
She heard a James Brown sample and thought he was there
She got home, shook her head and said
"Kids these years"
But then again, we think the Beatles were weird
I luv rap music, I luv rap music
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
That makes me feel quite as chill
I luv rap music, ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
(Ya know I luv it)
So if ya wanna hang with me, just better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
[Incomprehensible]Today some rappers boast, some are makin' me ill
And those obscene lyrics are overkill
But I started MC in' way back in the day
And since then there's been a serious change
Ya know, I asked Christ to come into my heart
And He gave me a brand new start
And on top a dat, He cold gave me my dreams
Doin' hip hop music with a Christian theme, ya know
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
(Always will)
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
(No no)
That makes me feel quite as chill
(Makes me feel chill)
I luv rap music, ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
(Ya know it's sittin' on, sittin' on, sittin' on)
So if ya wanna hang with me, just better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
(We'll be jammin, jammin)
I luv rap music
(Hip-hop music)
I luv rap music
I luv rap music
(Always luv)
I luv rap music
(Hip-hop music)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
dc Talk is made up of Toby McKeehan (TobyMac), Michael Tait, and Kevin Max.

The three met while they were young men at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. They formed the band dc Talk (a reference to Washington D.C., but later marketed as 'decent Christian talk' by their label) and, as of the year 2000, spent twelve solid years together, performing all over the world, recording 6 albums, and earning many awards, including 4 Grammy awards.

Their music, aimed at a younger audience, combined hip-hop, rap, and R&B sensibilities and filled a gap in 1980s Christian Music and gave them a unique niche. Their first three albums, dc Talk, Nu Thang, and Free At Last started from their rap/hip-hop roots but increasingly included melodic vocal rock influences. Their 1995 studio album, Jesus Freak, continued this musical evolution by eshewing almost all rap elements and adopting a harder modern rock/grunge sound on many songs, especially the title track. Their most recent studio album, Supernatural, draws on their previous efforts while moving towards mainstream pop stylings.

Their signature sound in all albums is their use of the three members' different vocal skills separately and together. They are often lauded for their lyrical sophistication, addressing many themes in Christian theology, faith, and practice.

After more than ten years together as a group, they are taking a break in recording together to pursue their own activities outside of the band, and launch solo careers in recording music. Michael Tait formed his own band, Tait, and has most recently served as the frontman for Newsboys. Toby McKeehan has released music under the name TobyMac, and has been the most sucessful of the three. Kevin Max has released two solo albums of his own.
