Evangelism 101, Hip Hop Style
I helped a friend move yesterday, along with a crew of seven teenage boys. They're all great kids from God-fearing, evangelical families. They're all actively involved in a local church youth group, and most, if not all, attended Christian elementary and middle schools. One of the boys' parents are pastors of a leading church in New York City. Unlike many classic PK's, he actually loves the Lord. Three or four of the boys, including the aforementioned PK, were wearing G-Unit t-shirts. Ah, the irony. Great kids, Christian kids, representin' G-Unit. Among G-Unit's recent memorable moments:
- Frontman 50 Cent's claim to fame is surviving nine bullets from an attempted hit on his life in 2000.
- On Nov. 19, 2004, Young Buck surrendered to police on charges he knifed a man during a melee at the Vibe awards.
- Tony Yayo was released from prison this past spring after a year and a half incarcerated for multiple offenses.
- In January 2004, "G-Unit Adult Films" announced plans to produce "Groupie Luv" with adult film producer "Digital Sin."

Sample G-Unit Lyrics:
- "Vacate your home I come to brake your bones / Americas nightmare we at it again ... Come with me but dont run and die where your standin' / See i'm holdin' on this cannon and your life i'm demandin' / Put the pipe to your melon and your brains on the pavement ... Nobody gon speak when homicide pay a visit ... You betta get used to it you know how we do it" (from "G-Unit")
- "Sometimes i ride um slow sometimes i ride um quick / Thats the reason these groupies is on my ****/ Listen young and old these hoes is loose / Wintertimes the staircase summertimes the roof ... Have a church girl on the bus move an wait ... When you see me in V.I.P with hoes around me / Man now give me that groupie love ... Tonight you wanna **** wit me its alright with me / Come on an gimme that groupie love" (from "Groupie Love")

As a parent, I appreciate what you have to say about G-unit. You've given me a starting point in talking to my teens about what they're listening to. I listen to Christian music, but they don't. Any suggestions?
