A theology of rap
This is a podcast of a lecture givin by Dr William Edgar. He is a professor at Westminister.
He is Protestant, so the context is going to be from that perspective, maybe even from a Reformed protestant one. But I thought he did a decent job in regards to the topic at hand. (and if anyone asks, I wasn't offended by his use of the "N" word. I thought it was kinda funny,........it was completely academic and besides, I don't expect Europeans to be P.C. in the North American sense)
The title of his lecture is called "rapping the Gospel".

"Overview
One of the oldest missiological questions we
can ask is, how to contextualize the message without compromising its truth and
its power? Rap was born in the streets of New York. It’s full of self-assertion
and anger. Think of the names of the artists: Public Enemy, Ice T... What does
this have to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ? Isn’t hip hop culture simply
the “world?” Aren’t rap artists just anarchists we need to address with the
opposite message of God’s love? Some rap is indeed anarchistic. But there is a
surprising variety within this genre, and so it is unfair to make such a broad
generalization. Besides, a closer look reveals analogies with the gospel. If we
look for ways to contextualize the gospel message into the hip hop world, we
will find them, sometimes in surprising sources.
