<p> The rap group ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT usually performs with
two live chickens, but for its appearance on Arsenio Hall it
was told to nix such barnyard manners. Otherwise, things
couldn't be finer. Its hit single, Tennessee, an open letter to
God, is creating a stir not just for its blending of hip-hop
and country but also for its spirituality. Still, the rappers
shun organized religion. "The black church has become very
passive. It tells us the only way to solve your problems is to
die and go to heaven," says lead rapper Speech. "We appreciate
life."
