This song is just a fun song that is geared to lightly sprinkle some theological and social considerations regarding Hip-Hop. It journeys from Hip-Hop’s beginning to its rise. It then looks at Hip-Hop’s power and impact on the current generation and counters popular hip-hop messages with morals that may be considered old fashion. Even still Ambassador promises that he and his type of rapper can get “headz” open.

This is the album’s introductory song. It lays out the purpose of The Thesis which is to both educate the church about Hip-Hop and educate Hip-Hop about God and His church. Although Hip-Hop and the church seem incompatible on the surface, this song declares emphatically that Hip-Hop desperately needs an injection of Jesus Christ. Upon being invaded by Christ, Hip-Hop then could become a servant of the Most High God.

After an almost 6 year sabbatical, Ambassador calls his fellow ambassadors to engage the culture of hip hop as servants of the gospel of Christ. The song affirms hip hop’s right to exist but challenges its propensity to lead people away, rather than toward God. God has ambassadors who can serve the culture by presenting Jesus Christ—the antidote to the poisons found in most secular hip hop.

This is a meant to be a somewhat comical address to those hip hoppers who misbehave proudly. It encourages them to stop smoking, gun-toting, and paper chasing, and start hungering and thirsting for truth. The song also acknowledges God’s ability to use the hardcore rap and rapper to convey his single gospel message.

Christian ministers do a lot of defending their faith and laboring to convey deep biblical convictions. This song was an attempt to lighten up and express the elation that believers experience when they are free from some of the vices that plague most cities. Sin is pleasurable for a season, but real freedom is pleasurable for an eternity. The Ambassador teams up with label mate Da T.R.U.T.H and crooning duo S.O.U.L for a festive expression of thanks to the God that freed them.

Foundational to Hip-Hop are the four artistic modes of expression known as the elements of Hip-Hop—djing, rapping, break-dancing, and graffiti. This song is an anthem which calls for the four primary elements of hip-hop art to be used by the God for whom and to whom all things were made. When the church embraces the biblically filtered version of these art forms they can be some of the most strategic tools. Through hip hop art, the church can conduct world missions.

Hip-Hop is often seen as a rebel and sometimes this is true. Consequently, nothing would be greater than to see this rebel subdued and brought into submission to Christ Jesus the Lord. This song summons Hip-Hop to take a look at this glorious Lord and then to respond Him—with such an unparalleled resume—by ascribing glory, majesty, dominion and power to Him.

After calling hip-hop culture to surrender to the lordship of Christ (Crown Him), Hip-Hop’s inability to do this is immediately recognized. Many people know that Hip-Hop is full of negativity but why? The answer is not that Hip-Hop is demonic, but rather, Hip-Hop is full of people who have wretched hearts. We all need a heart transplant in order to start obeying and pleasing God, so this song objects to the idea that hip-hop culture is inherently evil and traces Hip-Hop’s problem back to the condition of the human heart.

This song is the testimony of many people who are not as “churchy” in their appearance and therefore are led to believe that they are further from God because of their lack of church culture. More specifically, hip hoppers are often minimalized or treated as inferior to the person in a suit, when they come into the meeting place known as church. This causes some to wonder if God sees them the way “church folk” see them. The answer, as this song reveals is “No!” God looks at the heart and not the doo-rag and Timbs.

Because hip-hop culture is so filled with negative aspects, it would be real easy to discard the entire thing in the name of holiness. This has already happened to an extent—the church has little to do with hip-hop culture creating a cultural and generational gap within the church. This absence of Christian presence in hip hop culture has contributed to the deterioration of the culture. Where there is no light, darkness reigns freely. This song calls the hip-hop generation back to a place where God is and where God can minister to their need for redemption and holistic healing.
