I am not a big fan of rap, hip hop, or any combination thereof. But I’ve long respected the work of Shai Linne. This brother backs more theology into a four minute rap song than most evangelical pastors fit into a four week sermon series. His latest single, called “The Hypostatic Union,” includes clever and theologically loaded lyrics like the following:
By faith we believe this amazing Jesus
who made Uranus and Venus became a fetus
is such a seed that few if anybody knew it
months later he’s covered in amniotic fluid
the subject of the gospels, praise of the apostles
armed with eye sockets, arm pits and nostrils
