Christian Music Videogame References Rap and Metal. Songs From Bands and Artists of All Genres Celebrating Gaming

Christians are gamers too and vice-versa. Including metal bands and rappers of all stripes!

Its no secret. Videogames and Christian bands and artists from metal to rap are often gamers, just like I am. The result is that many Christian Metal and Hip-Hop artists grew up with videogames and thus are inspired by them or pay tribute to them in their awesome songs.

So what Christian songs of Metal and Rap feature videogame references? PLENTY.

This list comes from my own personal observances where I’ve noticed videogame references in the Christian metal and rap songs I love.

Please leave a comment to let me know of other Christian songs where you’ve noticed videogame references and I’ll add them to the list! Eventually I hope this will become a masterlist to find videogame references in modern Christian music!

What is the Videogame Reference? “Al and Jesse don’t speak for me. I’m probably gonna catch some flack, mayne/ But I’m gonna swallow this pill like Pac-Man” at about 58 seconds into the music video.

Song Video of the Day – The Sphere of Hip-Hop By Mars iLL (From Raw Material Album)

09 May

DJ Dust and Manchild Mars iLL Photo

Mars iLL is DJ Dust on the left and rapper Manchild on the right.

Sphere Of Hip-Hop Part 1 and Part 2 from Mars iLL’s Raw Material album is a mind-blowing rap that mixes profound thoughts on life and hip-hop and how to the two collide with some awesome lines.

Mars iLL is arguably the group that made me into a hip-hop fan more than any other. This is not rap music, this is true hip-hop, no Eminem-style stuff here. The production quality isn’t super high, instead what you get is some raw rap with lots of turntable scratching and sampling in true oldschool hip-hop fashion. But it is some might good stuff!

Sphere of Hip Hop Part 1 and Sphere of Hip-Hop Part 2 are two of the greatest Christian hip-hop tracks ever recorded if you ask me, and I’ve been a big fan of Mars iLL since their debut major label album “Raw Material” dropped in 2000 (with the major label re-release in 2001 on Uprok Records, part of Tooth & Nail).
