Today I am gonna discuss Christmas rap. when most people think of christmas, they don't think rap.
That would be because there arn't a whole lot of rap renditions of christmas tunes.
oh that and for some reason most Christmas tunes don't sound good as rap. don't ask me why, it just seems to be a quirk. So today we are gonna listen to some by TobyMac and DC Talk. Some great, and some really really bad.
The Bad
Yo ho ho.
This song is plain annoying, the consolation prize is the song that comes after it. Reason for the Season.

Next on our bad list will make your ears bleed. It is single handedly the WORST rap rendition ever.
O come all ye faithful

The Toss Up
Most people love love this tune, and while I admit it's decent, I hate it for throwing in and butchering a Christmas tune I love. Joy to the world
The song is This Christmas

The Good
Finally the obscure DC talk song. We three kings.

So, now we know why Rap Christmas is not a growing trend. and probably never will be. still, for those who enjoy their Rap, I have pasted these songs for you to enjoy.
I STILL like "This Christmas"!
