But I will be talking about things that both people in the church and out of the church are concerned with and think about. “Like, ‘Now you’re going to be talking about drugs and sex.’ I’m not going to do that. “Some people assume that you’re now going to be talking about whatever appeals to culture,” says Lecrae. Lecrae is well aware that the fans who have carried him this far - from the Christian music community to the stadium locker rooms - may worry that he will leave the inspirational message behind as he eyes the mainstream. So it’s like, the Grammy is a hammer, but what am I going to build with it?” “All this stuff is nice to me - being seen and heard and all that stuff - and I’m sure that’s the dream for a lot of people. “I just want to be able to die saying I gave it my all in terms of being a voice,” says Lecrae. Lecrae also did an interview with Billboard Music where this track was discussed a bit: “It’s just continuing with that trend of - what if we’re monogamous? What if we’re consistent in our relationships? What if we tell the truth? What if we don’t lie? What if we don’t cheat? What if we love somebody and we’re not afraid to say it in a hip-hop song? You’ve gotta continue to set trends and be different.” Read More They set a trend and I think that’s healthy,” he explained. “When you see Jay Z and Beyonce,, okay, marriage is cool now. Lecrae hopes to change that, beginning with a song like “A I Need is You.” The genre has faced plenty of criticism for being misogynistic, and while we have to accept that a sizable portion of that is purely for entertainment, there are still very few artists waving the flag for healthy relationships. Let’s be honest - for all the great things that hip-hop has achieved culturally, shining a positive light on monogamous relationships certainly isn’t one of them. Not stellar, but at least it clears up the focus of the song… it’s to/for/about his wife, not God. The lyrics themselves don’t clear it up, unfortunately, but I found an MTV interview that clarified Lecrae’s intent with the song. It was not properly setup by Air1 either in an intro or outro, so just hearing these lyrics in the mix of other vaguely “Christian” songs immediately tripped by “Jesus is my bearded girlfriend” brand of false-worship alarm. While this song does stay firmly in the “disapprove” category, I want to clearly state its intended context up-front. Once I got to my desk I finalized the DiM post for Tuesday and then started researching this Lecrae song to find some backstory. The first tweet went out just before I was handed my food. Since I was in my car, waiting in the drive-thru line, I didn’t take the time to look up the back-story of the song… so I took to twitter with my first reaction after the song finished and the lyrics still tumbled in my mind… This past Tuesday, while I was grabbing some fast food on my way back from errands, this song played on the radio. I don’t always remember to flip back to WAFJ, since while I’m driving that’s my priority… driving. Sometimes I just have to turn off the radio altogether. I generally have my radio set to WAFJ, but I frequently have to switch to Air1 to dodge Beth Moore or some advertisement for a heretic coming to the area to speak at a local conference/church. I’ve mentioned it before, but there are 2 main Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) stations in my area (Augusta, GA), WAFJ 88.3FM and Air1. Why are we reviewing this song today? Because I was driving my car this past Tuesday… The Billboard chart really loves Lecrae, who held 4 of the 15 spots on the chart that week. Today we’ll be taking a look at “All I Need is You” by Lecrae. This song held the top spot on the Top Billboard Gospel Songs for the week of September 6, 2014. Today is “Discernment in Music” (DiM) day here at Faithful Stewardship ( 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (ESV)).
