Walking to a Different Beat
Using musical words as his medium, Lecrae Moore is an artist with a message about Jesus. As Lecrae (as he’s known in the music industry) draws from his own experiences, he shares how he was able to turn from a difficult path in life. Moore went from a low place, to the top of the music charts. In Lecrae’s words, “They ask me how I’m doing. I say better than I deserve” (azquotes.com). Through everything, Lecrae praised God and showed the world his passion for God. Since his life was changed by his relationship with Jesus, Lecrae is on a mission to impact as many people as possible by sharing his background, his vision, and through his work.

Lecrae is admonishing these rappers and singers by calling them out for the things they have not said that they should, and things they should have said that they have not. Lecrae directed this song toward well-known people who have a lot of influence, but are not doing anything positive with it. In fact, Lecrae wrote ¨Nuthin¨ to show them that they need to talk about the right things, like God, otherwise it’s useless as they “ain’t talking ‘bout nuthin” (mtv.com - Lecrae takes rappers who talk about nothin’ to task with his new single). Lecrae has been able to get out his message because ¨Nuthin¨ has an upbeat sound that encourages the listener and draws them in, wanting to hear more. The listener can imagine Lecrae talking directly to a group of people, telling them to their faces that they are either talking about the wrong thing, or not talking about what is needed to be heard. The song has repetition throughout the song; such as “Lemme, Lemme, lemme do this”. It also keeps the same hook throughout the song, starting with Lecrae singing, “Ain’t talking ‘bout nuthin’”. One metaphor that is used in the song is when he says, “if the world try to swallow me”. Lecrae is saying that the world, and people in the world, are trying to influence him to do things of the world. So far, the theme of the song has been that when you talk, you have to talk about the things that really matter, not just random, useless things. When I listened to this song for the first time, I was in the car with my brother. As I listened to it, I was glad my brother played it for me, because the meaning of the song is really strong and important. To summarize , I believe that “Nuthin’” is one of Lecrae’s best songs for many reasons, and all these reasons add to it
