- 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."
