Is there any real reason why theology based rap is not used in most traditional christian environments?

That's a good question ... i don't know the answer ... maybe it's too much for most churches?
I've been in quite a few churches that get down though, a stone's throw from rap beats.
I even know a young Brother involved in a Christian Rap Group, and he's been doing it for years.
I don't know how much air time they get, but if their longevity is an indicator, they must get some.
I don't know ... what do you think the reason is?

because they are traditional.. and traditional by its very definition tends to nail methods of delivery down.. but if you sit and think you will realize that hip hop and its charismatic spoken word improvisational delivery is actually derived from the black church..
Do you have any specific artists you are talking about..

If black folks are present at a crime, whether they participated or not, they're charged with as many violations as white folks can conjure up. Felony murder is top of their list. Why not for white domestic terrorist?

Twitter is now locking accounts for unusual activity when there is no unusual activity. Apparently if you post to much to soon, it triggers their spider hairs. Never mind that it's (or was) a platform to post information and opinions, now it's just a flat bed from the ghost-of-trump-past. Jack Dorsey/Twitter should be charged with giving trump the media to incite a resurrection against the United States government.
18 family members tested positive for COVID after a holiday party in Pennsylvania, including a one year old baby. YES of course they were white. The mother knew she had "something", but during a world pandemic she didn't think it was COVID. This is insane! They just keep spreading it!
Good news; NRA filed for bankruptcy.
