It's an abomination but not a sin.

Job said, "I will set not wicked thing before my eyes." I guess that means ears, too. Also, in the New Testament it says that no wicked words should come out of our mouths, but only what is good, in order to build others up. Another thought, if the explicit lyrics contradict the 10 commandments, I bet God doesn't like them. So, that's my opinion. What do you think?

Yes. Rap may very well represent a rebellion against injustices. But taken as a whole, rap is also a culture of rebellion against godly standards of behavior, dress, and speech. Would a Christian, by his taste in music, want to risk being drawn into such a questionable life-style?
Of course, rap music is hardly the only form of music that goes to wild extremes. Time magazine reports: “There’s an acrid tang [bitter taste] in nearly every area of modern American pop culture. Heavy-metal masters Motley Crüe invoke images of satanism and the Beastie Boys mime masturbation onstage.” The Bible predicted that “in the last days . . . wicked men and impostors [would] advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.” (2 Timothy 3:1, 13) Should it surprise you, then, that much of today’s music sends the wrong message to Christian youths?

Yes. There's usually nothing but profanity and slurs against women in those songs! I've HAD the misfortune of being in a public place where that music was blaring, and believe me, I finished my shopping as quickly as possible and got OUT of there!
If it's really bad, I may even ask the manager to change the music. If they don't comply, I take my business elsewhere!

It is also a sin to listen to whining country songs.

Are you going out and doing the stuff they're talking about on the cd? If not, I don't think you need to worry.
