I’m really sorry if it sounds like I’m giving you mussar because I don’t mean it to come off as that but also as a girl you should seriously think of how these lyrics treat women. As a girl, in rap you are treated as nothing better than a filthy animal whose soul purpose is to debase yourself for someone’s physical pleasure and to get called horrible names in the process. Music, whether Jewish or not, touches a very deep spiritual place in us and affects our attitude. After listening to rap I feel more aggressive, angry, and full of taivos. I’m not sure how it makes you feel as a girl but the subliminal message of teaching you to just make your self a meat-stick def isn’t spiritually healthy. So don’t do it because your teachers say so, or even because I do, but for your own neshama’s sake try looking into cleaner music. Maybe you could find something with similar beats but fewer or no lyrics. Like I said, there is much good Jewish music out there, and basically no good Jewish rap, but it’s worth the struggle. Try learning the 3rd lesson in Lekutei Moharan for a deeper look into how music affects us spiritually.
