I think it's great that you can get someone who is singing Jewish music and making it street. Problem with most Jewish music is that it is 10 years old. There needs to be something for people especially teens to want to listen to it.

I think such a singer sets the tone for confusion. To say that this is what the rebbe wants is totally in my opinion wrong!! I think the ppl are laughing at him not excited with him. Ppl r like oh cool look at that, hes coming to us for our music. I think there is something wrong with his hashkofos! This is not what chabad represents! Could u imagine if your daughter went to watch him in that audience bc hes a lubavitch singer????!!! Ppl look at him as a frum Jew and think this is acceptable way for a frum Lubavitcher chossid to act! Its still respectable that he became frum and spoke like that about shabbos. You have to respect that part but I think he needs guidance. The Rebbe wants us to to bring the world to a higher level, not us going down to their level by singing their rap, and dancing and shaking their ways and then say ye, I keep Shabbos! To me this isnt acting like a Lubavitcher chossid! Afrum chazzan-Yossel Rosenlatt was offered a job to sing in non Jewish concert and refused the offer of lots of money-thats a kiddush hashem!

what type of kiddush hashem could he be making working with a muslim guy? And what type of way is it to spread yiddishkeit in a new heights if you can't even understand what he is saying?

Shlock Rock, Matisyahu, Piamenta, Moshe Yess - all have their place

I know that the Rebbe gave brachos to the Piamentas and Moshe Yess for their music

the problem is when parents raising frum kids, introduce music that is not meant for born and bred frum kids, to their kids, when their born and bred frum kids should be listening to nigunim and other appropriate Jewish music

I am still slightly confused he seems a very aidela boy with full garb etc performing in a nightclub with girls dressed as who knows what. And point being all or most of them quite drunk! See I understand if it would be a reg concert, there people are half sane.... but a nightclub a pub

Anyway as far as the fruma chevra goes I agree with motek conc listening only to music that will increase our yiras shomayim. But for people still growing in yiddishkiet he can do phenomenal things in bringing them closer Exclamation

Hmm, the video didn't play for me, all I saw was the guy on a show singing and that was it, I didn't hear his comments after. The whole question of would you sing on shabbos was a bit pointless, it's not like anyone actually really offered him 4 million to sing on shabbos, so what was he proving there?
The other thing,saying in the middle of nowhere that the Lubavitcher Rebbe told him to do this was a joke? When was he told that, in a dream? When he was 9? It becomes laughable and makes Lubavitch one big joke, so sorry, not kiddush Hashem. It just makes people think he is a loony nutcase.
The music is cool though if you like rap, but then again I don't like reggae or rap. Anyway, who says the guy he was with was Muslim? Could have been Indian or half cast, so what's with the "oh it isn't right, because he's with a muslim bloke" uuh look up the rascism thread.
Apart from that, I don't see a problem in a Jewish guy making CDs of music of songs he wrote, but to say it's for the Rebbe, now that is going a bit far.
Why can't he just say "I did it, because I like music, and I like doing it".

I happen to think he IS doing a great thing for the pple he is doing it for! True it is not an appropriate place for another Lubavitcher to go whatch but he's not doing it for Us he's doing to bring others to an awareness of G-D, my hubbie heard one of his songs and said its amazing there is an entire mamer in one song and these pple who are listening DO understand the words, though I cant make out a single one Tongue Out

Ive actually heard of quite a few amazing strories of pple becoming frum b/c of him so I do think he is doing what the Rebbe wanted by using the talent he has to make the world a better place and ready for Moshiach!
