To Serve: God or Man ?
If you aren't familiar with this guy and his work , you need to get up
on him fast. He dominated the music industry for years , and spent most
of his career working with some of today's biggest artists. He even
tried his hand at writing screen plays. As he accelerated in Hollywood ,
he was on the fast track to fame and fortune , but a chance encounter
with Jesus Christ changed his life forever. Who is this man that I'm
talking about , it's none other than Christopher Hudson. A lot of you
probably won't recognize him by name. He's better known on youtube as
TheForerunner777 where he produces a weekly series called " The
Forerunner Chronicles. He came to national attention last year when Two
& A Half Men co-star Angus T. Jones made a profession of faith , and
did an impromptu interview with him in Burbank California on the Warner
Brothers Studio lot. Jones claimed that his decision to be come an
Adventist was due in part to Hudson's videos , and felt that the
guidelines of " Men " weren't in accordance with his religious
convictions. Hudson received backlash from the entertainment industry
and those alike , but his true supporters continued to stick by him no
matter what. Now a lot of people think that the Forerunner is a guy that
likes to assassinate the character of famous artists and politicians ,
but there is more to his story than you can image. Christopher grew up
in New York City. His home consisted of an older brother and sister ,
and also his parents.....him mother , and father Constantine. As a young
boy , his parents instilled in him and his siblings to get the best
education possible out of life. They wanted better for their children
than they had. This was also due in part to the fact that his parents
were very successful and wealthy , because of that alone he and his
siblings reaped the benefits and fruit of their labor. There was nothing
that they couldn't have. Then one day when Hudson was 16 , his father
announced to the family that their mother had cancer. This crushed him
very hard. It was during this time , that he decided to seek and explore
God. Here's the thing , Hudson was brought up as an Adventist , but
before all this happened.......it didn't seem that important to him , or
his family. Due in part to his mother's ailment , he would go basement
of his house , and in secretly pray to God to heal his mother. As time
progressed and moved on , his mother's condition did not get any better.
She lost her battle with cancer. After a while , the benefits of his
parents labor soon diminished into nothing. The family was hardly
getting by now , which prompted Hudson to take matters into his own
hands. He soon began to distribute drugs on the street at 17 to make
some kind of income for himself. Soon , he began to get involved into
more criminal activities. One of them which included him and his friends
stealing millions of dollars from a very known local bank. The FBI soon
caught on to his activity , but because of his age........he was
spared. It was during this time that he decided that the best thing to
do was to go to college out of state. During his first year , he
discovered that living an academic lifestyle was having a positive
effect on him , but soon after he would be kicked of college for
academic probation. He later on relocated back to New York City , but this time he had a different set of plans in mind. Hudson was a fan of hip hop music , and even considered himself a rapper. For a while , it was his dream to become an artist , but at the time that his mother was still living........his parents were not willing to sign a contract. He was 19 now , and he could make those kind of decisions for himself. So he signed to a label , and got himself a couple of managers. Meanwhile , he writing material for his very first solo project. One day however , he was approached by one of his managers to write a screenplay......but here was the catch. The movie script had to be done in one night , and ready for the next day to presented to some movie executives. Being young in the business and wanting to gain experience , he took on the challenge presented by his manager and started writing. By the morning time , he had a 100 page script ready for review. It was so good , that execs shopped his script around to different production companies. After this point , Hudson became a full fledged screenplay writer. Writing movie scripts , and television pilots. He soon after joined the Screen Writers Guild Of America , which is a very prestigious organization filled with talented writers. Even though he was rising in the entertainment field , the streets still had a hold on him. Continuing to sell drugs and do his music , he had an advantage. The first one was that he had incredible talent , the other however is very dark and grim. Hudson's girlfriend at the time had a father who was a Voodoo Priest that practiced witchcraft. The was how he first become involved with the satanic rituals of the entertainment industry. When it came to writing those scripts , he would drink and sometimes literally " chew " the coffee. He was a force to be reckoned with . No one could tell him anything , or so he thought. One day while sitting down in a local park , he was smoking marijuana when a voice talked to him. It said " Chris , you have to stop smoking marijuana " , and he responded back to the voice with " you're right ". It was the voice of God.This particular chance encounter forced him to look at his own life , and exam what was there.When he went to look in the mirror , he not only saw himself........but he saw the supernatural dark force that made him what he was. This was the turning point in his life that cause him to leave all the fame , the money , and the popularity.....BEHIND. Fast forward to 2007 , Hudson begins to record a series of videos which are aptly known " The Forerunner777 ". In 2009 , he broke down the music industry and Illuminati within the music world , by exposing hip hop artist Jay-Z in the DVD " JAY-Z - HIP HOP's MASTER MASON". Since that time , his videos have become more detailed with accuracy and deeply rooted religious convictions. Not to mention his blending of greek and ethiopian mythology , and the bible. There is a reason why he's doing this. This man has seen what the industry can do to young minds. How they make promises of giving you money and fame. The biggest cars , and fanciest clothes and restaurants , and the only thing you have to do is SELL YOUR SOUL. He is not a man to be chastised and made fun of , but a man to be revered an respected. Any other person on this earth would be afraid to expose these practices and put people in their place , but not him. A true soldier of God never backs down. Maybe the world is not ready for someone like Christopher Hudson , but there are many other that are seeking the truth. What will you decide ? , and in the words of Hudson " THE TRUTH........IS THE TRUTH ".

" Going Back To Drama Central "
In today's world of crime , misogyny, sex , and killing you would think that the world is at an all time low. Nobody would blame you for thinking that , but what's even worst is the music that goes along side it . In a world of a million rappers , there's not one who is even decent or talented to say the least . This is where Mike Jackson is the exception . Coming from the Dover area of Delaware , Mike Jackson is a new talent rising up on the scene. Just this past week , he released his 5th mixtape entitled " Drama Central " . A personal letter of his feelings and emotions about the world around him , and his views on life in general . One song that certainly holds it's own on the mixtape is " Crazy Memories ". A humorous , yet poignant view into the nightlife of a bachelor. Most of the songs from the mixtape , are drawn from personal experiences that Jackson's encountered throughout his life. There's something for everybody on this mixtape , " heartache " , " abandonment " , " frustration " , and " Peace ". " Drama Central " is one of the finest pieces of work that I have come across in a long time. In that past , I have heard mixtapes that had hot rhymes , but crappy beats , or dope beats , but lacking lyrical play. It is rare that you're able to get both out of an artist. Continue to support Mike Jackson , and you'll see him reach levels people haven't even thought of attaining yet.

Is Cain The Offspring of Lucifer ( Are You Serious ?)
Let me clear up a misconception that has ravished churches and synagogues for ages. A lot of young , and older adults believe that Eve was kicked of the Garden of Eden for Having sex with Satan , and that her son Cain , was the result of this sinful nature. Most of you know about the story of Adam & Eve and how they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Here is what we know to be of biblical truth. When God created the heavens and the earth , it was his infinite desire to create animals as well as humans. In fact , Adam was the one who named all of the animals on the earth (Gen 2:19). Genesis Chapter 2 verse 7 says, " And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground , and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life , and man became a living thing. Then from verses 21-23 it says , " And the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam , and he slept. He took one the ribs and closed up the flesh in it's place , God made the rib into a woman and brought her to the man. Adam said , this is now bone of my bones , and flesh of my flesh ; she shall be called woman , because she was taken out of Man ". Now I want you to keep in mind that when God created Adam and Eve , they were the first humans without sin. Following their encounter with the serpent ( Satan himself) , this is where their fidelity was tested. Remember that Adam and Eve were told by God that they could eat the fruit off of every tree , except for The Tree Of Knowledge of Good And Evil............for they would surely die (Gen 2:19). Satan twisted around what God said , and in turn interpreted it as this " you will not surely die , for your eyes will be opened like God , knowing both " Good " and " Evil " Listening to the words of Satan , Eve ate the apple off of the tree , and shared with Adam as well............causing the both of them to sin together. So far everything makes sense , but to some individuals they seeks interpretations that are off their own. In a recent conversation with a friend of mine , we discussed our views on the story of Adam & Eve. What I heard next from their lips, infuriated me. They believe that Eve was not kicked for eating an apple off of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil , in fact more so that this was not a resultant of Adam and Eve getting kicked out of Heaven , but that Eve indulged in sexual pleasure with Satan , and then engaged in them again with Adam. Their reasoning for this , is because the " apple " does not make sense , and used as a cover-up to what really happened in that part of the bible. How can it be that Satan and Eve had sex ( and conceived Cain ) , when it clearly states in Genesis Chapter 4:1 " Now Adam knew Eve his wife , and she bore Cain, and said, " I have acquired a man from the Lord". When you see the phrase " Now Adam knew his wife Eve " , it is an implication that Adam & Eve became intimate after getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Another allusion to this story , is that Adam & Eve were naked because they took off their clothes to have sex. This is inaccurate as God called Adam , and was afraid to come to him because he was naked. Genesis Ch 3: 11 says " And he said, " Who told you that you were naked ? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you should not eat ?. Adam then goes on to blame Eve for their sin. When people are not reading their bible daily , it is very easy for Satan to infiltrate their mind and their well being. This is the problem that a lot of new believers , and current believers face. It seems that man is becoming more reliable than the savior. A lot of christians are more interested in some one telling them what they should , instead of what they know they ought to do. Keep this in mind , Hosea Ch 4:6 says " My people perish for lack of knowledge ". Do not perish brethren.

Gospel Is Not Dead
In today's world , people are looking for more than the Daily News , or the latest fashions. It seems that in this day and age, people are desperately searching for the spirit of God , hoping to seek him wherever possible. Sometimes it is common for people to find that spiritual connection that they've been looking for , through music............" gospel music ". During these past few weeks , a new underground gospel artist has emerged from the streets of Bronx , NY. Najestique (Wilkins) , is a gospel singer and lyricist who is passionate about the word , and spreading the gospel to every living creature in sight. A prolific writer from Buffalo , NY, she began writing these spiritual and uplifting hymns of praise when she only 10 years old. As she got older , the songs turned into personal testimonies to the testament and power of God in her life. Since that time , she has poured her heart and soul into making music with a " holy ghost " power. Most recently , she has recorded and released a posse of songs under a musical guise called " The Boutique ". The Boutique is supergroup of artists that come from Queens , Brooklyn , and Yonkers, NY. For Najestique , it is a blessing to be working with an array of talented artists and engineers who are dedicated to this music effort. Just a few days ago , Najestique unleashed a brand new group of artists and songwriters on her mixtape " Compilations Of Inspiration ( http://soundcloud.com/najestique/sets/mixtape/)". The mixtape includes an illustrious group of young artists who are just as passionate about God , christian rapper " G.M.A.N " from South Africa , Rapid Fire from Clinton Arkansas , and R.O.D. from Dallas Texas. The mixtape deals with subjects that may be too graphic for certain individuals , such as child abuse , spousal abuse , drug abuse , and gang violence. One song in particular spoke to me. It is called " Not My Own ". In this powerful vignette , a man tries to pressure his girlfriend into having sexual relations before marriage , but knowing that she is a child of God she stands to her beliefs and morals. If you have been looking for music like this and haven't found it , it's because it didn't exist before Najestique. The gospel music industry of this generation is no longer focused on spiritual direction , but more so of the world. Gospel has been spoiled so much , that there is no longer a distinction between it and wordly music. Coming up in this day and age , people need to know about the salvation and the works of Christ. He wasn't just a man who died on the Cross , he is everything you'll ever need , and that is just the type of message that you will hear in Najestique's music. She has once again proved that nothing is impossible with God.

Boulevard Of Dreams
The world is constantly revolving 24/7, and in all that time what are we able to do. The economy is low, and the homeless are still living on the street. Yet we spend money on all these campaigns talking about " A Change Is About To Come ", and be ready for it (give it a rest). People in the world don't want promises, they want a surefire support system in which their communities and cities can thrive. Where are we with our voices in this world. Anybody can become a rapper, singer, and actor, but it's what we do with those talents that make us spectacular. For example, let's take Mos Def who's songs are often about black empowerment and self worth. This is what we need for the world, for someone to let us know that we can be somebody, and that our words have deep meaning. True, we all have a lot to work on, but isn't it worth it. Being famous isn't about the millions of dollars made in the process, but it's about your strength, our strength. Look for inspiration.
