I want the Christian to be challenged in seeingthat the fall of humanity has not thwarted God's intention for us. Butsince we are now corrupted by sin, we need to renew our minds. Westill reflect God's image only now through a murkier lens, so it'simportant we learn to rebel by taking a stand for Jesus, and yet rebelby being a blessing to the unsaved and sinful culture. Non-believinglisteners I pray will be attracted to the quality of the music andcreativity, and prayerfully be challenged to look at God's holiness,repent and turn to Jesus."

I think I figured out how to partially fix the problem of out of region songs. It requires deselecting every song in your iTunes synch playlist library. Then you synch. The recent update gave the cloud a bigger role. Some songs will be there, and others you'll have to download back from the cloud, but once you do they should play w/o a connection. Still your music library will be a whole lot smaller, at least mine is, because I listen to a lot of unusual stuff, that you can't easily find, at least in the Apple cloud universe. I'm going to try selecting those albums in iTunes, and resynching. Still I'm not holding my breath.

Rap music's poetic conventions, raging creativity, andomnivorous "sampling" (borrowing) of previous sound works--be theseverses, beats, speeches, commercial jingles, and so on--betray an urgentexpressive culture wrestling with the very meanings of life played out in thestreet (Chang 2005; Ogbar 2009; Forman and Neal 2011). It flows forth withbullet speed, bypassing musical conventions such as harmony, melody, singing,and instruments, preferring instead rapid-fire lyrics and turning turntablesinto primary instruments to be scratch-played. Rap is, in RussellPotter's fine phrase, a "spectacular vernacular" (Potter1995). Its packed lyricism manifests the chaos because it is free-formcreativity, an improvisation impossible to trace, copy, or put intointellectual abstractions. It is radically eclectic, and when extant materialdoesn't quite work, rappers create heady neologisms and gleefullybutchered syntax. Other musicians' records get scratched and splicedonto other bits of recorded sound and recycled into new forms, where the"break"--that is, the rupture of the previous sound--becomesall-important. With rap poetry, images are woven from the Bible, sociology,news, and so on, all without attribution. The robust sampling demonstrates aplayfulness and appreciation for the destabilizing onslaught of meanings. Itbecomes impossible to claim which part of a song is borrowed and which isowned by copyright because street theft has taught rappers that one cannothold on to anything. Rap is street smart, turbulent poetry in ambient chaos.The listener is challenged to know his or her culture through rap'scollages. Hence, tradition and cultural literacy are transmitted by way ofcreative recyclings. We are privy to a complex, multivalent, oral traditionin the making. The ghetto is the reality for the birth of this poetry and isportrayed with unflinching candor. Rappers speak of drug deals gone bad,pimping, disease, unwanted pregnancies, rape, incest, and gangbanging. 2ff7e9595c
