Response - It's the Holy Hip Hoppers! They have tried everything humanly possible to stop The Truth Behind Hip Hop. They have even taught classes at their conventions about stopping G. Craige Lewis and this ministry. Their tactics are as follows:

1. Build websites and create blogs that will slander G. Craige Lewis and EX Ministries to hurt his reputation so people will not invite our ministry.
2. Build fake EX Ministries websites to try to steer his audience to a fake site that will give the Holy Hip Hoppers an audience to influence against our ministry.
3. Call every church or engagement on the EX Ministries website itinerary page and try to convince them to cancel the engagement or invite a Holy Hip Hopper to give an opposing view.
4. If these tactics don't work, then create some kind of accusations against G. Craige Lewis to discredit him so churches will cancel. We have received reports of faxed letters, emails, and even calls . . . by any means necessary!

These are tactics of devils! If what the Holy Hip Hoppers where doing was right, would they have to resort to mafia like tactics to stop an opposing view? Would they have to use slander, back biting, and gossip to try to stop engagements? And what about the Pastors and ministries that are inviting G. Craige Lewis and EX Ministries? Isn't this questioning their authority and credibility and basically suggesting that they are unable to pray and hear from God about bringing this ministry to their churches? Pastors and leaders should be outraged that their judgement, discernment, and ability to hear God is brought into question by some rappers that are angry and want a platform! It is very sad that the Holy Hip Hoppers would use these types of methods to stop what they disagree with. We believe that any church that invites EX Ministries and G. Craige Lewis to their city does it because God lead them to. That's why we do not address gossip, false accusations, or slanderous rumors on our site because we are totally focused on soul winning and truly believe that what God has established cannot be torn down by man! It's a sad day when so called Christians have to resort to mudslinging and discord to try to stop churches from having an event that will subsequently change the lives of their youth forever! But we know the devil is relentless and will use those that are weak and selfish to block the truth of God.

Proof - The proof is in the pudding! Holy Hip Hoppers are "Hip Hoppers". They are using East Coast/West Coast beef tactics just like the gangstas and thugs in real Hip Hop! They are acting like Tupac and Biggie! They want publicity and want to shine, so because EX Ministries takes a stand against them, they are trying to destroy it. When rappers in the world are upset and want to look "tough" they pick out some other rapper and diss them in their music and interviews. This is the same thing that is going on in Holy Hip Hop. They have songs against G. Craige Lewis and websites dedicated to him! If they would fight the devil like they are trying to fight G. Craige Lewis and EX Ministries, they would be dangerous! This is crazy! These are supposed to be men of God? Ministers of rap gospel? And yet they would go and anonymously send emails and letters to churches accusing G. Craige Lewis and EX Ministries of misconduct? Did God tell them to do that? Did God tell them to stop G. Craige Lewis and make way for themselves? If they were true servants of God, wouldn't they just trust that if God is for them, nothing could stop them?

Scripture -Matthew 5:11 ~ ‘Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.’
