man god really blessed you while you was making this album..the message you speak is on point..you see im going through this transformation of kicking all my bad ways and journeying into this new realm and this album has helped me alot. So i say to anyone going through some hard times and want to get better and stay close to god this is an album to pick up. I won't even lie some of the songs made me cry and really put an imprint on my living. I had to throw away all my old cd's i was knockin and this cd is the only one i have in rotation at the moment.

I mean i remember when I was bumpin Mr. Mafioso and thinking that was the legit stuff. But seeing how Tay had the strength to come up out of that and bless the world with Thug Religion just opened my eyes. I haven't really listened to your new albums but i think i heard a cut or two and you was back to your old ways (i could be mistaken tho, i gotta go listen again). But i do hope you walk what you preach. And even if you switched up you already know god still got love for you. And i gotta say it is hard to stay positive and god-like especially in this negative-filled rap game. So whatever you are on these days is up to you. I just wanted to speak on how you have touched me with the Thug Religion cd and are carrying me through the transition. Much luv to you Tay and bless you for seeking the light and doing what alot of people did'nt have the strength to do. Stay righteous, peace.

Why did you throw away all your old cds? Should of gave them to me LOL Its not bad to listen to hardcore rap even if your becoming more religious. God wouldn't bless these individuals with the gift they have if he didn't want them to do this music. I"m sure the lord looks at it as a positive thing not negative even know there can be negative lyrics. But I respect you on your decision to turn your life around and put your faith in the lord. God Bless You and your Family gone.

right on man. I dunno, i was just mashin down the road one day and usually i was bumpin that new mitchy slick and for some reason my ears were'nt in tune with it. It was like i was fed up with it. That same exact day i had this intuition that i needed to go to tower records. So i was mashin to tower records and about 3/4th of the way there i didn't want to go no more. But something was pushing me to go. And recently since god has been guiding me and showing me signs i felt that i needed to keep pushing and go there.

So i went there and i was in the rap section for about a minute just flippin through cd's. And after like 5 cd's that i had skipped through I located that Thug Religion. Now i knew this cd was tight because I had it before and knew it was good material. And me going through this transition I felt that this would be some bump material that is positive. And i only had about 15 bones in my pocket and I looked at the back and it said $9.99. So i was like yeah, this is what im going to get.

Then i asked one of the dudes that worked there to see if they had a gospel rap section. And he led me to the section of gospel. And i found maybe a handful of rap cd's but they all looked kinda corny and i didn't know any of them so i decided to go with that Tay.

And I respect your opinion about the lord giving all rappers the gift to spit. And it is they're decision on what topics they touch. And me being a rapper i know what it is like to rap about the streets and what goes on in them (negative and positive). But i kind of grew with this new movement and i get to the point where if i'm trying to do positive I need positive ALL around me. And I even think I've been doing it to clean. Like I even deleted all my files on my computer which was negative (from songs with non-positive messages to beats that sounded evil all the way to porn files i had on my computer). I went all out and deleted even beats i was going to use and albums I loved. And it's just me showin that I can give up everything for god. Even my myspace...I deleted all the people I did'nt know and I got to about 30 out of 150 that I had and then erased a few that i did'nt want to erase. And instead of just re-friending them I ended up deleting my whole account lol. I got to admit I went hog-wild that day. But with this new start I felt that i needed to.

It felt good though and i felt refreshed. And it crazy the signs I get from God. He really does work in mysterious ways but they are clear to you when he shows you the way. I mean like I'm soaked in it. I'm wathcing Bet inspiration on sundays and the religion channel they got going. I mean it;s new for me and I can ramble on about the things god has done for me since I've changed. And I don't mean to keep rambling but this is new for me and i'm feeling good. And I thank you for the kind words you added at the end of your response. I appreciate that and may you and yours be blessed as well.

my bad for the long story and i know half these people didn't read it cause most of the people on this site is youngsters trying to stir up shit or just aint ready for the real talk. But either way I know i'm going to get to the real people young or old so good lookin on reading. And stay up to all of yall and i pray for everybody that needs god help that they get the nourishment they need from the one above. peace.

YOUNG K-9 I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU STARTING THIS THREAD. I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A STRUGGLE FOR A FEW YEARS. WITH TRYING TO STAY CLEAN OFF OF WEED. I JUST GOT TO A POINT WHERE I WASN'T ENJOYING IT AT ALL. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTIME I GET STRESSED OUT I TEND TO STEER BACK TOWARDS IT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I STOP PRAYING AND TEND TO TURN MY BACK ON THE LORD. WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS HEARING YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SITUATION HELPS ME. I JUST NEED TO KEEP MY FAITH AND THE LORD WILL HELP ME THROUGH THESE HARD TIMES. IN MY HEART I KNOW THIS IS TRUE. THANKS MAN.

It's all good homie. If you ever need somebody to talk to hit me up. I'm sure you've been through things that I've been through seeing I'm trying to stay off weed too. It's always good to go at obstacles as a group and the strength is that much stronger because we can relate and share ideas that will benefit the both of us. Plus god looks upon us to do what it right and sharing and helping each other out is good in god's eyes.

And from what i found out is in order for god to work through you your body has to be clean. And being a weed addict for 11 years and now stopping and having my body cleansed i can understand what thats all about.

and at jmf007...thanks for the luv! I'm just trying to do this mane..and so far I'm feeling brand new. The feeling i get from fallowing the lord is better than any drug i've done. What a good feeling it is to do good and to help those around me. I was lost for so many years and now i'm back on track and ain't going no where. Faith is the key and if you have any doubt about what you are doing and you may think the lord may look down upon it, you are probably right. And its never too late to change. I mean i've read testimonies of people who were saved and it did'nt move me. But now that i am on this path i can understand. Open your eyes and don't be afraid to do what is right. Witness the lord and his teachings NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY. don't be afraid to go against the grain. I mean I got family members telling me my faith is too strong. There's going to be obstacles yall, just remember through the lord anything is possible and you can do anything you put your mind to with the help from god. peace yall and i pray all will find the way.............
