Query: A for Effort

The first thing I will say is that the only thing that this album has going for it is the production. The production gets about a 3 and a half to 4 simply because most christian rap has poor production and beats(KJ-52). As for John's rapping? Honestly is wasn't even mediocre. The way things are with hip-hop these days, the focus is on the lyrics. Everything is like a freestyle battle, and though he's not going to be abel to sit there and diss everybody, he has to be able to put words together cleverly. This isn't the eighties where pretty much anything that rhymned and had a decent hook got in. To call him the christian eminem would be so gross an understatement it would be criminal. Go out and by a Jay-z album if you want quality hip-hop.
