Hver nå og da jeg gå tilbake og lytte til album og sanger som virkelig flyttet meg kunstnerisk og åndelig når jeg hørte dem. One of those albums is Den Solus Christus Prosjekt by Shai Linne. Det er en av mine favoritt hip hop album- periode. Produksjonen er unik (men ikke kommersielle), innholdet er utrolig, og Shai lyriske ferdigheter er på full skjerm. Dette er en av de albumene som gjør rappere spørre seg selv, "Hvorfor er jeg fortsatt rapping igjen?”
Jeg kan ikke sitere hele posten i dette innlegget, men her er en av mine favorittvers fra albumet. Det er Shai er vers fra "Mic Sjekk 1,2″:
Han ga sitt liv som løsepenge, Jeg er hype og jeg danser
Når fremsi mine låter Kristi, den rettferdige Lammet som lyser min lykt
Hvem andre enn Herren over nasjonene
Kan hype en hedensk dranker å skrive uten engang ett ord av selvforherligelse?
Mine svake ord- utilstrekkelig faktisk å beskrive Immaculate Seed
Skjebnebestemt til å gjøre mirakuløse gjerninger
I en alder av tolv, Han hadde den gamle hoder overrasket Hans innsikt
Adlød Hans foreldre, selv om han laget sine vind rør
En sann Anomaly- og som kan grunne på
Servant kjemper slangen i ørkenen med vers fra Mosebok
Satan kastet hver hindring på Ham, men kunne ikke begripe
Den strålende stratagems av eskatologiske Adam
Det unike med hans ydmykhet er for dypt til å snakke
Og hvis du tror ydmykhet er svak bare prøve å være ydmyk for en uke
perfekt menneskeheten- ennå bobler med guddommelighet
Oppfylle den evige pakt i Trinity
uutholdelig lidelse, uendelig pine
Divine oppgivelse for Oppfinneren av tyngdekraften
Ingen synd i Hans Majestet, Han var en erstatning
Frukten av Hans kjærlighet var nok til å øse synd opp fra roten
Den tredje dagen stod seir- betyr historie er
En spiller som Guds regi for å gjøre Jesus ser strålende
Vi spytte hellige tale i løpet av beats å skru opp temperaturen
Og ingen retrett om vi søke retur av keiser!
At, mine venner, er en av de største hip hop vers noensinne skrevet. Rim ordninger, vokabularet, klarhet og dybden av innholdet, strømnings- alt sammen var gal. Pris Gud for å bruke min bror Shai. Hva er noen av y'alls favorittalbum og vers?

To respond to your question Trip – this was the verse that compelled me check out Shai in the first place, off Flame’s Our World Redeemed, “2nd coming.” Amazing.
In the scriptures we find facts
Pictures of divine acts
Prophesied God provides wisdom the mind lacks
At History’s climax
More vivid than IMAX
The sky cracks with
Jesus on some, I’m back
Nå, just try to visualize the most
Glorious site ever to hit physical eyes
Holy angels in Christ who gets minimalized
in splendor arrives and all the dead in Him will arise
Believers who are alive become a maturated Order
And caught up in the clouds like evaporated water
To Be captivated by the Master’s grace and aura
Before He Activates the slaughter
on the cats who hate the Torah
The File wildin’ out and doubt and wouldn’t call on Him
And now Crying out for the mountains to fall on ’em
The dead come Out the grave at the holy judge they look
They’re broken up and shook
while He opens up the books
All sins will be Weighed not ignored
And law breakers slayed (slain) by the sword
on the day of the Lord
While we gaze and admire His
Greatness, liars and fakes who hate Messiah expire in
The fiery lake
Made for Satan and his angels sent to deceive
Multitudes who refuse to repent and believe
The elect have no hell to fear
Cause we’re related to the judge
Like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Another verse that hit me, Lecrae’s verse on “Beautiful Feet” off Rebel. It was amazing and really hit at the heart for me:
Eric used to go to bible study as a kid
He got older and started doing what the hood did
A rival gang caught him slippin tried to take his life
But the jammed up so them beat him nice
He woke up in the hospital singing bible songs
Praise God he had a place to learn the bible from
But then he gets saved and wanna preach Christ they make him change his whole culture and way of life
He gotta get him a bachelors wear a suit and tie
Go to seminary by then all of his boys will die
Jesus came to invade culture outta nazereth and used a couple fisherman who people saw as hazardous
The feet are beautiful if only they’d go
If ain’t nobody in hood preaching how will they know?
Eric is better used taught trues in his context
Somebody please plant a church in his projects.
The last one I can think of off top is Tedashii’s verse from Between Two World’s “Bear with you” (which I think is my favorite song on the whole album) –
Life done been crumby, since I been walkin a young’n
Call me different or funny, wish I could change it like money
Grew up off in the country, we’re lookin different n funny
Stupid head or just ugly, no matter what it kept comin
Askin’ my momma where daddy, he aint here to protect me
Teach me, raise me, or carry my load when it get heavy
So I did it on my own, fightn carryin on
It don’t matter what they told me dawg, I thought I was grown
People tell me that I’m trippin, n i tell them they wrong
All the while I’m actin out, blamin my daddy who gone
Fast forward by 10, when God saved me from sin
And He changed my heart from dark to light to show to all men
And I got the conviction, call him up and stop trippin
Thats when I found out he’s a Christian, who got saved in omission
Thats when it goes past religion, and then it makes an incision
Into your heart n then you start forgivin, man and start buildin!
Cheers to good music and hail to the King!

I’m constantly amazed by the show Shai and others like yourself put on through your lyrics. I figure most Hip Hop isn’t that difficult because you have the freedom to create bars that really don’t have to relate to your previous bar. Just saying random things that rhyme, pretty much. But you guys have to pick a subject and make it rhyme while still having a clear message. I couldn’t measure the difficulty of that. And that Shai verse you posted, in light of that difficulty, is truly amazing.
