What is “positive hip hop?” That’s something we can debate for days. Does positive hip hop have to be clean? Uplifting? Christian? We will continue to have that conversation, but for now here is how I define it:
Positive hip hop music is rap music that lifts you up, inspires you and makes you feel connected to others.
The reason I wanted to define it first is because some of the songs on this list are “Christian Hip Hop” songs. Some are not. Some have explicit lyrics. Some do not.
But all of these songs have one thing in common: They make us feel something.
A lot of these songs are suggestions submitted by YOU so thanks so much for your help in putting this list together!
Ok here we go…
