Hip-Hop, Idolatry & The Church Pt. 19 ~ The Ritual Sacrifice

In the first report from Nancy Grace on HLN after the death of Whitney Houston, she raised certain questions regarding the nature of death and the body of Whitney. When it was said that Whitney had been found in the tub, Nancy raised the speculation that someone had possibly "pushed her" beneath the water in the bathtub. In addition, she also raised the question of how did anyone know that someone else wasn't with her at the moment of death? To me, this made sense, because Nancy, as a trained investigator and lawyer, wasn't quick to make the assumption that everything was as it had been initially reported. After all, for years, according to her bodyguards, Whitney was never left alone for more than 10 minutes in the bathroom, consistently told to take showers instead of baths and checked on regularly just to insure her safety and health. Why did it all breakdown a that exact moment in that specific fashion?

Where Are The Witnesses?

We now find out that Whitney's body was never witnessed by any authority to be in the bathtub at all. According to reports, her body was found by emergency personnel in less than 10 minutes after the call, laying on the floor in the living room area of her hotel room, not even on the bathroom floor. Supposedly she had been pulled out of the tub by those who had found her. However, doesn't it seem strange to pull her out and keep pulling her out until she gets into the living room? Why not place her on the bed or a couch if the aim was to get her to a more comfortable place? Why the living room floor, and what advantage did the living room have as opposed to the bathroom floor if we're dealing with an emergency?

Who And What Was Really Celebrated At The Party?  

As stated, interestingly enough, Whitney was to be featured and honored at a pre-Grammy party. However, while she lay there on the floor, at 3:55 PM, after what is reportedly less than 10 minutes of resuscitation efforts by EMT's, until nearly 3:00AM the next day, a party took place under the feet of them that stood over her dead body, under the direction of Clive Davis, the man that she most trusted in the world, named the Godfather of her daughter, and that had earned billions of dollars off of her success.

The Celebration Of Secular Seduction

Last year, when I wrote the Idolatrous Celebration Of Steve, I said to myself that I wasn't going to try to keep up with the "evil" that BET calls the Celebration Of Gospel. I had pretty much made up my mind that it really wasn't worth taking the time to point out the flat out riotousness that this so called Gospel celebration of music has gone to in order to mass market and appeal to the people. However, after watching the show and looking at the subtitle "Keeping the Faith",  I said that I must at least speak on some aspects of this years stage performance and obvious battle to confuse the mind, especially since the aim was to "Keeping The Faith". The first observation was that it was very hard to see that anyone knew what the "faith" really is. Yes, all this was, was a stage performance. The whole thing was devoid of anything that defines "the faith" or anything that I am aware of that was spiritual or even gospel oriented in nature. In addition, it was also a seduction of the mind and spirit geared toward confusing and obfuscating the truth...even attempting to reverse what many hold to be truth...that there is and should be a difference between clean and unclean.

The Sale & The Roster

TV is about ratings for sure. If there is a small audience, advertising dollars will not flow. This is the first thing that we all must realize. The TRUE gospel doesn't sell, on a regular basis on TV. (at least many times although there are some exceptions) Nevertheless, this year's roster was filled with secular singers, as always, but in a little different position than normal. This year they were highlighted, featured and in an advanced position. From El Debarge and Howard Hewitt to Chaka Kahn (who didn't even try to sing a gospel song, choosing instead to sing her oldie "Through The Fire") to Kelley Price and ultimately to Whitney Houston, the primary focus was upon the secular singer. The grand event of the evening seemed to be when Whitney Houston took the stage along with new gospel gone secular star Kim Burrell. Remember, this was the same Kim Burrell who is yet the COGIC Assistant International Minister Of Music and the same one that wants to record with Prince...It seems that she was at home in her new element singing Whitney's song, "Look To You". Although it wasn't Prince, clearly the audience was excited about Whitney's return standing the whole time she sung and vigorously applauding at her performance. Well, Whitney is a consummate singer...of that there is no doubt, but should I remind you that this was a "gospel" event, not a secular event??? Supposedly...

To be fair the stage was filled with the usual and highly suspect gospel singers also. Suspect because so many appear of them appear to be gay. Even Kirk Franklin had on his standard nerd garb, along with Israel Houghton who seemed to also be caught up with a Jr. High/High school uniform fetish or infatuation that Tye Tribbit also espouses. I have no idea why grown men have such a desire to present themselves as teenagers and wear clothes that are too small for
