YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A RAPPER WRITTEN BY GARRY E SHEPARD JR.

Yesterday Friday, June 7, 2013 I performed at a youth service at Ark Of Refuge C.O.G.I.C in New Haven Ct with the support of my Wife, Mother in law, my son and my church family. I enjoyed myself immensely.  I did my song, If I only Knew. At first, when I was rapping I noticed that some people were trying to figure out what I was rapping about, and I was expecting for the youth to really get into  it but i only realized that it took them a while to get the story of my rap. After I was finished I received applause which I didn't expect!  I was told I didn't look like a rapper, that mad me laugh. Some said I didn't think you had it in you. as I wrote about the Christian Hip Hop Image,  these thoughts came to my head, "I feel like if you don't have an image that some are used to then some have a problem connecting with your rap maybe its just me." I'm not offended at all, it just made me realise that you cant judge a book by its cover! To God be all the Glory, cause I know that at the end of the day it not about me! PEACE!!!!!!
