5.0 out of 5 stars You Are Nuts If You Haven't Copped This, January 20, 2005

Okay, we were all thinking it... a Christmas album?! But, like you I was put in check. In my previous review on another movement album I mentioned TRUTH. He kicks the CD off with a hot track that adds a little R&B flow. This is one of the things that I love about Cross Movement Records most recent efforts. They are hitting us with STRICTLY GOSPEL, bringing it fresh out the trenches with rhymes that make you say "DEEEGGGGG!", and now even flippin the script by throwing some R&B flava into the mix. It's the best of both world. I also enjoyed that this CD brought a little bit of the entire CMR label. This one is a must have. It's almost February and I am still listening.

When I heard about this album, (and ESPECIALLY when I saw the old album cover, hahaha!) I thought it would be the lamest, albeit well-intentioned, cd put out by Cross Movement.

Then last year around Christmas time, they put samples on their website... and they were actually good!!!

So, as Christmas is approaching, i decided to buy the album. And man, i am impressed and very satisfied with my purchase!

I must say that I (almost) always skip no. 3 Happy Birthday Who- sorry Tonic!

but the rest are worth my purchase. my favorites are 1. Tell You Why, 7. Love Does 11. On This Day- these are very nostalgic/ smooth grooves and just give you a good feeling... like when it's cold and dark outside and your warm inside looking out. Also, 4. Read the Book 5. A Different Kind of Christmas are great. J. Johnson spills some highly Christ-centric verses with a smooth style over this Jamaican beat. TRU LIFE really unleashes his lyrical talent on 5. A Different Kind of Christmas, backed up by nice acoustic guitar for the melody. 6. Wisemen and 10. Invasion Day are sweet. Wisemen has some sweet music and Invasion Day is tight because Flame dishes out this research paper on Christmas Trees and Santa Claus in raw mid-west vocals! it cracks me up, but its still tight. Even the M.O.D. interlude is cool... haha.

I am so glad that I can finally listen to hiphop where the words have meaning and truth. Not some thug or pimp trash talk or some drinking 40's and 50's type crap. Gospel in the form of rap is true knowlege and wisdom that can cause people to truly stop and think about thier lives.
