First, I wanna apologize for not making my Monday schedule, but I was camping. Second, I gotta say that Brinson's "Escaping Me" CD is INCREDIBLE!!! My copy just got here yesterday, and I'm VERY impressed, it has the perfect feel to it, it has a sort of soul music feel to it in the begginning. I'm also extremely pleased with ReadyWriter's "Poetic Freedom Mixtape"; make sure to get your copies at www.godchaserz.com. You can also check out three of their albums on Itunes: "Jihad"-Jovan Mackenzy, "Conduit"-ReadyWriter, and "Dat's Gospel Mixx". If you still aren't convinced, go to www.myspace.com/godchaserzent, which is Brinson's page, and send him a message. I'm almost positive he will give you free music, he's really good about that; just say that peaceofmind from the KJ-52 Messageboard sent you. I've promoted enough in one blog, now for the blog...... YES! I went to Spirit West Coast '08 on Saturday! My only regret is that I wasn't there on Thursday for the whole thing, but it was AMAZING! Superchick and Kutless were just incredible, and the Newsboys closed the show. There was so much energy in that place, it was just so awesome, that would have been the time for the rapture to happen, everyone was just so on fire for God. Well, this is a short blog, but I wanna say thank you for reading it, there is other stuff you could be doing, so thanks! In Christ -Peace- Psalm 108:13

What up yall, it is PEACE BACK AGAIN! Yes, here for another Monday blog. Speaking of which, what happened yall? I only got like two comments on my last blog, SE and my buddy Garrett. I rest my case, I'm just gonna keep on rollin anyways. I gotta give a shoutout to my buddy Tim, he's worked so hard on a site and both of us would really appreciate it if you checked it out. It offers FREE CHRISTIAN HIP-HOP DOWNLOADS! CHECK IT OUT AT WWW.CH-HC.COM or WWW.CHRISTIANHIPHOPCENTRAL.COM. For those of you that don't know, my parents decided to enroll me in a six week "algebra academy". I am happy to say that this is my last week and I will be going to Spirit West Coast this Saturday! After that, I will be gone for two weeks on a couple of summer trips, which is fun. One more thing before I start, thanks to all the folks who commented my review on Jovan Mackenzy's "Jihad", lookout for two other GCE CD reviews from me in a day or two. Anyways, on to some real news, Brinson's CD "Escaping Me" is dropping a week from tomorrow! Make sure to pre-order your copy at www.godchaserz.com! There is something I would want to leave open to you readers to comment me your thoughts on. I'm gonna leave you with this and like I said, I would like some comments, this is a post I made on my youth group's group on Myspace: NOTE:In my post, the word "Church" refers to the Christian churches and all Christian denominations This is a two part discussion; first, who here likes Christian Hip-Hop? (also called Gospel Rap, Christian Rap, or Holy Hip-Hop) Second, why isn’t Gospel Rap accepted in the Church? This goes for Christian Rock also, but it seems that Christian Rock is more accepted than Gospel Rap in the Church. The CHURCH of all places?! Why does the Church not embrace Gospel Rap? Is it because the negativity of secular rap comes to mind when the term "Rap music" is used? Is it because the Church likes the traditional worship songs better? A buddy of mine brought up the subject of Gospel Rap on a Pentecostal forum, and this is one of the responses he got: "I understand what you’re saying. But the medium DOES matter. Rap and HipHop are probably the filthiest, most obscene forms of music in existence. We don’t have to use the devil’s tools to promote our message. There was nothing wrong with the words the demon-possessed damsel was speaking in Acts 16:16-18 -- in fact, they were a call to listen to the apostles’ preaching; but the words lost credibility in light of how they were packaged. =)" Another buddy of mine brought up a good point:"Some people have problems with needle injections for medicine but it is such a useful tool" His analogy(spelling?) is so simple, yet so true. The Word of God is still the Word of God whether it be read behind a pulpit or rhymed to a beat, it’s still the Word. Also, as a Christian emcee myself, I find Gospel Rap to be very powerful, but I could be considered biased :p. If you have any comments, positive or negative feedback, please post them, I want others’ input on this. If you have anything else to add to the discussion about Gospel Rap (if you have any favorite artists, etc.) then please add that here also. In Christ -Peace- Psalm 108:13

Alright, before I get into anything, first I gotta give a shout out to Tim. Check out his site at www.ch-hc.com OR www.christianhiphopcentral.com it offers FREE downloads, including FULL MIXTAPES and the LATEST CHRISTIAN HIP HOP NEWS!!! SO CHECK IT OUT!!! Alright, "And here we go...." Yessuh! I saw it! The Dark Knight, with the late Heath Ledger, I saw it Sunday! It is quite the movie, I'm actually planning on seeing it again, it is THAT good. Heath Ledger really plays his part well, it's so sinister and yet everything he does is funny, I can't explain it! Now onto my blog.... Oh one more thing before we start, Big Dusty, WHERE YOU AT????!!!!!! I haven't seen you around in a LONG time man, c'mon! I'm feeling depressed yall. Folks on KJ Board already know, but basically I'm at this point with religion where my denomination (I'm Catholic) is not spiritually feeding me. It's mainly that, but I also just don't agree with some of the stuff in the Catholic Church, not to say that other denoms don't have flaws The Catholic Church just doesn't give me the spiritual food I need. I feel more tired after Church than I was when I came in there. If I'm gathering to praise God, I want to be invigorated afterwards, not wanting to take a nap. Now mind you, my youth group makes Church a bit more exciting, but that doesn't solve one of my problems: I have unanswered questions about the Catholic faith that when I ask, I get shut down by strict Catholics who had it pounded in their brains since they were born, and they don't help answer my questions at all. But really my main problem is the Catholic Church isn't breaking it down for me, I just get confused and/or fall asleep when a sermon is being given, they don't get me excited about the Word and dive into it. Alright, I think I've upsetted folks at my youth group enough already, so I'm signing off here. Oh and anyone from my youth group who does happen to be reading this, PLEASE COMMENT, I WANNA HERE YOUR THOUGHTS on what I said, I DON'T CARE IF IT'S HATEFUL, TYPE A COMMENT! In Christ Peace Psalm 108:13

First off, I wanna give a big shoutout to Tim for letting me post this up on Christian Hip-Hop Central (www.christianhiphopcentral.com OR www.ch-hc.com) and to anyone who's reading this from there. I also wanna thank Tim for the comment last week and also another shoutout to my friend Garrett for checking my last blog. Now that all that is done let's do this! I would like to address all the drama that blew up last night on KJ Board. Man, what has that board come to?!! What does the word community mean? That word is so non-existent on that board it's sad. The only real group of friends on that board would have to be Straight, Tim, Sierra, KJFan, Peek, Jimmy, myself, AC, Mess... maybe I'm wrong, but that's my take on the whole thing but anyways.... The Dark Knight comes out this Friday, man that will be exciting! I'm sorry, but Heath Ledger is gonna outshine everyone in this movie! It has nothing to do with the fact he died, just that it's Heath Ledger! Playing the coolest bad guy ever! Alright, you gotta admit that you are just gonna see it cause Heath Ledger will be playing Joker! OK, in case anybody is wondering, I'm not gay, I just have nothing else to talk about at this point. Brinson's album "Escaping Me" is dropping soon, that will be incredible! GodChaserz itself is doing a lot of big things this year, ReadyWriter's got a new mixtape comin, Jovan Mackenzy and Young Fitz both have CDs coming out! I'm ubber excited, cause I'm the biggest GodChaserz fan ever! While I'm going on about that, lemme encourage everyone to find their stuff on Itunes and check it out! Also go to their website, www.godchaserz.com, or www.myspace.com/godchaserzent. If you want some really good rap music, than go to Itunes and type in these Jihad-Jovan Mackenzy Dat's Gospel Mixx Conduit-ReadyWriter and yes Tim, I know I'm obssessed with these guys alright! OK, I finally thought of a topic. Tonight at my youth group's bible study we sort of talked about pride. How many times in life do we throw our accomplishments in other's faces? I tend to do that, I don't mean to, but I do. I think it's human nature really, to show others our accomplishments and brag about them, cause we want others to appreciate our work. Nevertheless, that doesn't make it alright. It's okay to want folks to appreciate our work, but not rub it in people's faces and hold our achievements up high as if we are so much better. Did Christ go around saying "I'm the Son of God, haha loser!!"?? No, so don't boast, but when somebody compliments your work, say thank you. And another thing, don't be upset when follks don't acknowledge your work, not everyone is gonna dig it, but you gotta roll with it! That being said, don't get all cocky and self-righteous when somebody compliments your work. OK, I know I repeated myself, but I just want y'all to know, alright? Swallow your pride, humble yourself! And yes, I know it's hard, but we gotta step it up Christians! -Peace- Psalm 108:13

Anyone ever keep a secret from you? Yea it sucks doesn't it? Yea I've had my share of kept promises and secrets that needed to be kept for privacy reasons when a friend came to me for something, but today I had someone keep something from me for no reason at all! I mean, this dude (who shall remain nameless, but he knows who he is) would not even give me a good reason! Ridiculous! He just gave me one of those wimpy answers you know what I'm sayin? He gave me one of those "just cause" you know? That translates to "there isn't a good reason" and that was all he said... But I really don't wanna dwell on that so much love to you man, I just can't stand when folks do that, so if you're reading this man, no hard feelings. Now that all is said and done, in the words of Seth David, "Let's do it"............... I wanna also pitch in my two cents on all this drama that folks stir up for no good reason! I won't name names or point fingers cause that will cause more drama and Peace will suddenly dissapear from all messageboards. But anyways, you know what I'm talking about? These two-faced people who cry for no good reason one minute then love their life the next and there's also these folks that wonder why people hate them and then they act like a total jerk...coincidence? Anyways, now on to the real topic, relationships. Now some of yall might close out of this blog, but those that don't please comment, even if you flame me for my views on this. OK, so relationships in High School, fine. Relationships in Middle School, sometimes fine. Relationships in Elementary school, you gotta be kidding me. Relationships in pre-school, you need help! OK, but let's get serious now, what I can't stand is when girl put Mrs. [media] of the dude they are dating, it's ridiculous! I have a friend who had been going out with this dude for about 3 years, she's a nice, smart girl. But she was absolutley convinced they were gonna get married! So after that 3 years when they broke up, she came to me in disbelief, she couldn't believe it! I didn't say nothing, but girls, LISTEN UP:Unless you are dating in college and you have a really STRONG relationship, 99.99999999999% of the time, that couple will not marry! And another thing, most relationships that I see in Middle School and High School are purely and soley based on what the couple owns/how much money they have/what their physical attributes are. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a guy, so looks do matter, but I want a woman strong in faith and ugly rather than a woman of this world and stunning. And another thing, stop saying "We love each other!" Alright, you might feel very attached to this person, but you do NOT know what love is!! You will not know what love is until you feel that you honestly would die for that person. So, these are Peace's relationship rules 1.Strong love of God within a relationship 2. Know what LOVE IS!!! 3. Be interested in the person, NOT WHAT THEY OWN/WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE!!! Anyways, that's my 2 cents on that. Until next time (I will get a schedule for these soon lol) In Christ Peace
