When is the line crossed?

When is the line crossed? I personally think it was crossed a long time ago... Are people aware of the music that our children/youth are listening to? We've all heard the stereotypes of drugs, money, sex, etc., but what if one actually calls himself God? It's obvious that pride is one of the main (if not the main) elements of Hip-Hop, but to put yourself (human) on the scale with God (creator of the universe) this truly blows my mind! So, the question is who? Who would say such a blasphemous thing? Jay-Z. It's no surprise, really... The self proclaimed "God" has been saying this for years...

"Hova the God, I should be rappin with turban...
...Do you believe? It's Hova the God" -Jay-Z "Hova's Song (Intro)


"God MC, me, Jay-Hova" -Jay-Z "Takeover"


"It's the return of the God, Peace god..." -Jay-Z "Run This Town"


When I saw the merchandise promoting "Blueprint 3" it made me sick! Not to mention when I heard Jay-Z's justification to calling himself God, He said If people read their text they would see that we're made in his image. I'm tired of people who have NO reverence for the TRUE God whatsoever, tell us what the Bible says. I'm praying that Jay comes to repentance, and comes to full submission to the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the God I serve...

"But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When
he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath."
-Jeremiah 10:10

"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to
all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." -John 17:2-3


"We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so
that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son
Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life." -1 John 5:20

Think about it...
