Mainstream Hip-hop only started getting overtly crude and nasty in early '90's. It wasn't like that when Hip-hop started. I'm not saying it was "Churchy" either, during the early beginnings, but it was more positive then than it is now (if at all there are any around).
We've discussed this somewhere before. It's funny most of them have a level of fear of God in them; they were raised up in the Church; some of them started their musical exploits there and later went south, in the attempt to please a bigger audience.
Beats is not the ultimate goal of any musician; rather, it's the message within the beat. This is why I support Christian Hip-hop artists, like Cross Movement, GRITS, Tobymac, and co.
Individuality: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.
