This is a great CD! T-Bone has done it again, after many previous albums as well. Although he is not as mainstream as most artists, he deserves to be. This christian rapper has a lot of talent, so go ahead and guy this album. You won't be disappointed!
Why BITE?Wednesday, January 12, 2005
Having followed T-Bone's career from Redeemed Hoodlum to GospelAlphaMegaFunkyBoogieDiscoMusic...I have to give him his propers for tight production and flows for the most part. However, what really weighs on this release, and on his first releases, is his tendency to mimic, rather outright BITE concepts and lyrics from secular hip hop artists. For instance, on Redeemed Hoodlum and Hoodlum's Testimony he's doin' Cypress Hill, on Hoodlum's prayer he's doin' a lil 2Pac & Method Man, on Last Street Preacha he's doin' his own thang, but on GAMFBDMusic, he's bitin' Snoop from start to finish. Now I love my brother-in-Christ all the way, and I acknowledge the fact that he's one of holy hip hop's pioneers and one of it's hottest lyricists...however, it's because he's so unique and so skilled that I have to come down on him a lil for goin' Christian Snoop on e'rybody. Another sure shot for the speakers, and funky out this world, but his most original works to date are on The Last Street Preacha and even on the one joint he did for the Hero:The Rock Opera soundtrack(Raised In Harlem). To Bonie Bone: Let God Use You & BE YOU!

Gospel rap...huh...I don't get it..is this a joke??Thursday, January 06, 2005
This CD has few words about Christ...a whole lot of words about his car(s)...I guess with the Holy Spirit chillin with him in the front. Words about how HE and some other cats started the gospel rap game and cats comin out now need to recognize(sounds like boasting to me) and calling people "busters"..What?? What sets gospel apart whether it's rap, hip-hop country, rock, contemporart etc...is our love for Christ and the love we have for Christ showing through for other people to see. What makes his lyrics or sounds any differnt than puffy, Jay-Z or any other rapper out there...because he say's Jesus every once and a while in his music...PLEASE!! Quit tryin so hard to fit in on secular and Christian. Just let GOD give you a new sound and people will accept. He say's "if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me"...I don't know what T-Bone tryin to draw...

Great rapper, okay CD.Friday, December 24, 2004
I don't know, it just seems like T-Bone has so much talent, but he kind of keeps doing the same CDs with different titles. I know he added all that disco funk to this CD. But when it's all said and done, it's the same old T-Bone. It's an okay CD, but if you're looking for a really good T-Bone CD, get "The Last Street Preacher". "Grammatical Revolution" and "Art of Translation" by Grits are also good.
