I like his music. I think he is doing a good job by making promotion for Jewish religion without evil compromises. :)

Chaim would disagree with this because he feels that matisyahu is imitating evil blacks and black music which, Chaim personally hates.


I say to that, to each his own...

He probably has real talent and charisma too. What a waste.

I watched 3 seconds of this man's music,
and really find it a disgrace for judaism.

He should be severely punished for this.
There is no excuse at all.

I hate rap. and all other kinds of african "culture".

How can anybody support this and call himself a JTF-er?
Turkey must get out of NATO. NATO must get out of Kosovo-Serbia. Croats must get out of Crajina. All muslims must get out of Christian and Jewish land. Turks must get out of Cyprus. Turks must get out of "Istanbul". "Palestinians" must get out of Israel. Israel must become independent from USA.

Who are you to say what is a disgrace to Judaism?  Which Posek says that his style of music is forbidden?

If I was a Jew I would certainly tell it in his face.
The kind of movements he makes, like a gangster-rapper,
are evil, and anti-god.
This style of music, is below the standard of civilised people.
I can only say what I think.
Regardless of what I said, I don't mean to offend your religion.
On the contrary, I don't trust Jamaican "music" , as a source for true religious people.
I am sure there is Jewish music, that is far better than this.

How does he do anything like a "Gangsta Rapper"?  Trust me, he is a very good person - there's actually a local Rabbi whom I know very well who went to Yeshiva with him.

I trust you OdKahaneChai!
For me the way he moved his hands, is already a reason to stop watching this video.

I am sorry, I am really allergic to "modern"-urban-youth-"culture".

E.g.: I consider MTV to be a porn-chanel.

Would this Matisyahu be half as popular if he didn't exploit shock value by fusing two incompatable elements like Chasidism and Jamaican thuggery?  The first thing a person thinks when seeing Matisyahu for the first time is, "Wow, that's unusual."  Would he sell as many records if he simply dressed like Joe Blow?  Would Kiss have sold as many records if not for their make-up and costumes?  

That's what I'm gonna do.  I'm gonna dress up in some unusual fashion and play some kind of rock/rap music.  I'll make millions and be able to save Israel.  Meanwhile, Matisyahu REALLY COULD save Israel with HIS millions.

He's making millions with his talent which you hate..

And you...are probably struggling to make an honest living.
