RIP to the Bad Boy rapper who later joined the Christian Ministry

They say your college days will be filled with some of your best memories. I am fortunate to say that sentence applies to myself. The whole Bad Boy Family movement was the soundtrack to my life and if the Bad Boy catalogue was my album then Craig Mack’s Flava In Ya Ear was the song they played with the beginning credits.

From the countless days rollin in the 96 Toyota Celica with my roommate Vinnie, while we got lost in upstate New York to dorm parties with my future wife Jhen; the sounds of the Coca Cola bottles forever ringing.

Soon after all the success in Hip Hop, Craig was suddenly nowhere to be seen. He later popped up in South Carolina as a man of God. You can read more about his story here.

Thank you Puffy for the sounds of our college days and #RIP to the first one out of the gate for Bad Boy… #CraigMack

Christian Christmas Music Day 4

Christmas songs

***Until Christmas Day, I will be highlighting one song that defines Christmas for me and my family. Hopefully, some of these songs will be an inspiration to you and your family as well.

Day 4 – Mariah Carey – THE VOICE of my generation.

Merry Christmas Song – Jesus Born On This Day

The first Christmas album I ever bought.  I was a freshman in high school and while everyone was buying Dr. Dre’s album, my friends were laughing at me for buying this. Yes, Dre’s album is an Hip Hop masterpeice BUT its not an album i can listen to in the car with my 6 year old.  On the other hand, my daughters are belting out all the hits from this Christmas album!

Day 3 – Celine Dion – THE VOICE of my generation.

These Are Special Times  Song – O Holy Night

No one sings like Celine Dion.  NO ONE!  Not just this track but this album is a must own. Just look at the 5 million plus copies it has already sold.  I may not know anything about you and where your from and what your circumstances are BUT i do know what will give a Christian goosebumps and this song is that.  Fast forward 3:15 into the song to hear Ms. Dion belt out Christ is the Lord; Then ever ever praise we…noel will be the most beautiful sung line you will hear this WHOLE Christmas season.

Day 1 – Pentatonix – An updated feel and sound to a timless hit.

A Pentatonix Christmas Song – Hallelujah

[Scott:]
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Avi:]
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Kirstie:]
Well baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a vict’ry march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Mitch:]
Well, maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[All:]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
