The Dove Awards should be nicknamed the Love Awards because the show honors the positive music of love. The main message in all the songs of the Gospel Music Association is about God, which is the basis for Love.
Lately I have been really into listing to positive hip-hop and rap like
Kellee Maize and certain songs from mainstream artists. I focus all of my media time on listening to music that makes me feel good, positive and uplifted. This is why I listen to radio stations like
Air 1 and know about the Dove Awards. Yes I honor and love Jesus but I am more into the music for how good it makes me feel. It helps open up my love for myself and others. Now isn't that something we all need more of from our entrainment?
Now the Dove Awards are not going to present you with the typical Jesus Freak music. No this is hip and hot. Take the Hip-Hop artist that were nominated and won,
Group 1 Crew. They make top quality music comparable to Billboards top 40. You won't hear direct praises to god, but the positive love is splattered all over their electronic beats. Now where do I have to go to dance in a club that plays only music like Group 1 Crew? Hun where? Please let me know of the Conscious Hip-Hop Club. Until then enjoy these Hip-Hop artist featured at the Dove Awards and on my Conscious Hip-Hop playlist on
youtube.
