I got a chance to listen to some of the signed and unsigned artist Christian ,local talent etc a universal rule is originality well I guess that rule applies in marketing what ever your talent is .when it comes to Christianity the bible teaches us not to imitate but what we imitate I am saying this because in the past I heard Christian biggies and jay-z,s although I cant judge their eternal been but I can say what they do not condone Christian values or propagate them none what so ever oh yes thanking god for prosperity hmm, I am not saying people didn't imitate Christ what I am saying every one dint die on the cross and I know we want to keep current but it does not separate you from the society that glorifies self yes it is hard because so many musicians are competing for a deal which identifies motive.< br>
