George Craige Lewis, more commonly known as G. Craige Lewis, is a Texas-based Christian minister.
Lewis preaches that rock (especially heavy metal) and rap and hip-hop music is the work of Satan and that some musicians are possessed. His rants are collected in the documentaries The Truth Behind Hip-Hop and The Truth Behind Rock and Roll. Note that these are all published recently, not during the 1980s moral panic. Lewis, of course, received his message directly from his mental illness his ass God.[2]
The documentaries were debunked by internet critic Marc Mues in his web series The Truth Behind the Truth Behind Hip Hop and The Truth Behind the Truth Behind Rock and Roll.
Lewis is also a homophobe,[6], a conspiracy nut[7] and he believes in witches[8].
