Few things have done more to morally uplift America than rap music. <\/p>\n
These great musicians are every bit the equal of pimps, hos and dealers and what they push is equally valuable. <\/p>\n
Jewish rappers are everything that Isaiah, Jeremiah and Amos had in mind for the Jewish role in the world. <\/p>\n
Jesse Bernstein writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n Any Jewish rapper working today owes an enormous debt to Def Jam Records founder Rick Rubin and the troublemakers he released upon the world\u2014Michael \u201cMike D\u201d Diamond, Adam \u201cAd Rock\u201d Horovitz, and Adam \u201cMCA\u201d Yauch. From the day Licensed to Ill (1986) dropped, the Beastie Boys\u2014that rollicking, nasally, raunchy trio of New York Jews\u2014has been unapologetically themselves, in all their irreverent glory.<\/p>\n Rubin and the Beastie Boys created a space for themselves in popular music that hadn\u2019t existed in a meaningful way since before World War II: a space for Jews to coexist with black music, while also distinguishing themselves from \u201cwhites.\u201d The Beasties meant to offend, meant to subvert assumptions\u2014and their way of achieving that (besides giant inflatable penises on stage) was to not only behave in a manner oh-so-unbecoming of well-to-do New York Jews, but to create some of the most enduring rap albums of the era while paying proper homage to the African-American artists who created the genre in which they worked.<\/p>\n Though the Beasties were rarely so explicit about the politics of musical identity in their lyrics, they were blatantly Jewish, from their nasally delivery to their penchant for performing in Orthodox Jewish garb. Judaism wasn\u2019t always a part of their actual lyrics, but it was the defining characteristic of who they were: They were New York Jewish kids, and they flaunted it, even after they moved to L.A…<\/p>\n Arian Aslani, aka Action Bronson, is a mountain of a man who sports a frizzy red beard that makes his head seem even larger than it is, and at around 300 pounds, he\u2019s got the type of heft that gives him an almost regal bearing; to watch him sample haute cuisine in his Vice eating series, Fuck, That\u2019s Delicious, is what I imagine watching William Taft eat must\u2019ve looked like…<\/p>\n So wake up early, hop off the shitter \u201cThat\u2019s the way it goes when you party just like I do\/ Bitches on my dick that used to brush me off in high school\/ Take over the world when I\u2019m on my Donald Trump shit.\u201d <\/p>\n …No mainstream rapper has ever been as openly, deliberately Jewish as Dave Burd, aka Lil\u2019 Dicky. His first mixtape, So Hard (2013), features Burd standing in the middle of a gigantic, flaming Magen David, and the first track, \u201cHam,\u201d starts with \u201cWhoa, so hard\/ Jews is never supposed to go ham, but fuck it.\u201d It\u2019s a joke, but on another level, it\u2019s illustrative of the struggle at the center of Dicky\u2019s persona\u2014the tug-of-war between Dave Burd, the nebbishy Jew who openly wishes he \u201ccould just say black things,\u201d and Lil\u2019 Dicky, the brash, confrontational rapper who goes clubbing with Snoop Dogg and Fetty Wap…<\/p>\n Drake has straddled his given identities like very few rappers do. His father was black, and he comfortably uses the n-word; however, his mother was white and Jewish, and even though being black and Jewish isn\u2019t a contradiction in any way, it still is perceived that way in the mainstream. He\u2019s embraced it, though. Though his Judaism is usually manifested in punchlines (\u201cBar mitzvah money like my last name Mordechaiiii\u201d), he still posts Passover pictures on Instagram, and \u201cYou and the 6,\u201d addressed to his mother, is as good as a year\u2019s worth of phone calls. And of course, the music video for \u201cH.Y.F.R.\u201d is the greatest moment in Jewish hip-hop history. What other rapper could pull off a bar mitzvah-themed music video with Lil\u2019 Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Birdman?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Few things have done more to morally uplift America than rap music.
