Minister G. Craige Lewis preaches against the evils of hip-hop culture all over the country and through his popular DVD series.

Lewis grew up with Kirk Franklin, the superstar who melded hip-hop to gospel with the 1997 smash hit "Stomp," but believes Franklin has compromised his Christian message.

Lewis calls rap pioneer KRS-One hip-hop's premier "false prophet."

In the late 1970s, Afrika Bambaataa formed the Zulu Nation, a group of breakdancers, graffiti artists, DJs and MCs. Lewis says the Zulu Nation now controls "the religion of hip-hop."

William "Duce" Branch, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, is one of the most popular Christian rappers today. Many of Lewis' assertions about hip-hop are inaccurate, he says.
