THE GOSPEL PREACHED THROUGH HIP-HOP!!!!! October 6, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This album is executed with master craftsmenship from a master emcee ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!!! I personally enjoy listening to The Ambassador because I know he is original in style, and very serious about communicating CHRIST'S message with biblical proof to back it up. With Hip-Hop being more and more violent, sexual, perverse, and anti-Christian, its good to hear music coming out that challenges us as youth to GET RIGHT AND LIVE HOLY!!! The way I see it, if he can do it, I can do it. We all have similar vices, especially Hip-Hoppers!!! But if we sacrifice within ourselves our own personal sins and desires, and put Christ First in our lives, we will reach the full happiness and prosperity God wants for us! I know its hard brothas and sistas in Christ, but we have to see past what this world has to offer. Everyday people do things to gain worldly fame, but they bear no spiritual fruit. Let us spread the word of God with integrity and discipline!!!! The youth listened to 50 Cent because they knew he made good music, but they knew he was really the thug that he proclaimed to be. Now how much greater will the youth listen to us who really live according to what Christ preached to the disciples? Lets not be studio Christians. Lets change the world!!!! CHRIST UP

Disappointed December 22, 2008

For those of you who have read my reviews, you'll know that I have been critical of previous Cds The Thesis & Christology. So why buy this, his third CD. Well, the title, from Milk to Meat, had me intrigued. I thought that he might have abandoned his hook oriented efforts of the past, to delve into something deeper, a la Shai Linne, or Evangel, or the usual releases coming out of the Lampmode label. Alas I was wrong. To these ears this is a continuation of the previous two joints, that whilst not awful, doesn't do much for me. If you, like the stuff from this artist that has gone before, than this will definitely be your thing. If you are expecting a departure and something solid to get your teeth into, you may, like me, end up disappointed.

If the Apostle Paul was from Philly and knew how to rap... November 24, 2008
...he would go by the pseudonym, The Ambassador. The Cross Movement are practically modern day apostles and evangelists. They have taken Jesus and his message to the foreign world known as "Hip Hop Culture". The Ambassador, who lives up to his impeccable reputation as a qualified and learned theologian, really challenges us to mature beyond the simple matters of the faith and to grow into a greater understanding of God, Jesus, and their Holy Word.

As a "young man" (early 30's so I am somewhat a contemporary of the Ambassador) who is a life long member of a southern Pentecostal/ Holiness church I remember hearing the older Christians repeatedly telling us that..."It costs something to live this holy life. You might have to give up your friends." Or they would often say..."This is a suffering way." This is a message taught by Jesus himself but is rarely emphasized in many churches today. It was so refreshing to hear The Ambassador's song, "Cost" which addresses this very issue of personal self sacrifice that is involved in being a true disciple of Christ.

There is so much more that I could say, but in the interest of space and time, let me just say that I greatly appreciate this cd and the ministry of the Ambassador, The Cross Movement, and their proteges...Trip Lee, Da' Truth, Lecrae, 116 Click, etc.

One of the best ever December 27, 2008
I've always liked Ambassador and thought he was a nice "Christian Rapper," but this album transcends him to a level on par with the greatest emcees of all time. I've always loved hip-hop and when I became a Christian, I was satisfied with Cross Movement and company, but I never thought that Christian rappers were on par with what I used to listen to (secular). But this album has changed my mind completely. It is so good I dare anyone to compare it to any of the top selling artists in the secular genre. I let some of my friends who usually don't like "Christian Rap" listen to it and they loved it. My mom loves the song "Gimme Dat" and she's not much of a hip-hop enthusiast. If you are a lover of just beats and don't really listen to the lyrics, then you'll love the sound of almost every track. If you are a lover of lyrics as well as beats then you are really in for a treat. Abassador makes reference to pop culture, gospel songs, and living the Christian life in an esoteric way. I have around 50 or so Christian Hip-hop albums and this ranks in the top three. The album will challenge you to grow up, and strive for discipleship. I have only a few minor gripes with the album. There were a few really good beats that I thought weren't used very well because of the subpar chorus. This includes "Checkin' for My God" and "Hope Man." There was also a disappointing cameo by Da T.R.U.T.H. Some others that are featured on the CD is Stephen the Levite (who is outstanding) and Lecrae and Trip Lee (who does a descent job). There are also a few hidden tracks that will not disappoint. If it were not for a few songs that were not produced to perfection (mostly the chorus) and a few disappointing cameos, this may have been the greatest hip-hop CD that I have ever heard. I definitely recommend it. The focus and message of the album is a great one. Our main focus is discipleship. We need to get out our Bible and study. Now lets chop it up.
