Beyond commercial success, what significant cultural impact did Kirk Franklin's introduction of hip-hop elements into gospel music in the 1990s have on the perception and reach of the genre?
A
It primarily alienated older, more traditional gospel audiences, leading to a temporary decline in overall gospel music sales.
B
It broadened the appeal of gospel music to younger, more diverse audiences, challenging traditional notions of what gospel music could be and opening doors for other artists to experiment with genre fusion.
C
It had minimal impact on the cultural landscape, as hip-hop and gospel remained largely separate genres with little crossover appeal.
D
It led to a standardization of gospel music production, with all artists adopting hip-hop elements to remain relevant.
