It's not affecting your spiritual life in any way.
Music is things of the flesh,
Your spiritual life is spirit.
What is spirit is spirit and what is flesh is flesh, there is no connection between the two.
Please enjoy your hip hop musics, don't allow religious emotions to kill your joy

yes and no. it depends on your personal believes and your confessions.

yes, if u give your life fully to the music that you don't have time for the word if God. if u make the lyrics your way of life instead of the word of God, then there is danger.

no, if u put d music in its place just for ur leisure period. and u never take d music above the word and love if God

Let me disagree.
When you keep feeding your spirit with vulgar and vane words, like Bleep, bitch, pussy etc. Your subconscious takes note and its like a tap that drips watter in and empty bucket over a particular time, and boom, before you know it, your language because profane and if your heart is not guarded, you start looking to participate in those things you keep hearing.
Seriously I intentionally deleted so many songs i sincerely loved if there's the slightest fword. It hurt me buh i was like Bleep it, oops. It wasn't even adding anything to me, theres over a billion songs out thers that are waiting for you to hear them.
Botom line: choose what you listen to wisely so as not to get ur subconscious mind corrupted

Happy Sunday.

Yes because most of this hip hop,rap etc carry violent, and ungodly lyrics which should be avoided, someone said U are feeding ur flesh becos it is the for the flesh but do U know the flesh can overpower the spirit, those stealing or killing,don't they have spirit and conscience? what happen? it started little,then the flesh overpowered the spirit, and according to some wise people song is a nourishment of the soul and mind, so when an ungodly things(songs) capture ur flesh,body,soul and mind what is left? the spirit, how strong is the spirit to overcome ¾

It is allowed

When you keep feeding your spirit
what are you talking? spirit is not flesh that eat o, tell your pastor this truth next Sunday. Like the scripture says, spirit is spirit while flesh is flesh, there is nothing that relates the two. You can feed the flesh, but to say you are feeding your spirit, it does not apply to reality.

with vulgar and vane words, like Bleep, bitch, pussy etc.
yes, you can feed your flesh with this, but not your spirit. What's Gods business if you choose to be using vulvar words? Is it not your flesh that will suffer it?

Your subconscious takes note
this is it! Your subconscious is the flesh that takes note,not the spirit

and its like a tap that drips watter in and empty bucket over a particular time, and boom
tap, buckets are all material things not spirits, so they are best used for the description

before you know it.
this is where the differences comes! It is not everyone that will be so careless of their mind not to know when it is coming, no doubt few people can be that careless allowing what they hear in lyrics influences their actions, but most people already have their principles intact long before music lyrics comes such that they have no effect on their behavior.

your language because profane and if your heart is not guarded, you start looking to participate in those things you keep hearing.
this is why the bible says guide your heart with all diligence because, there is no way you can stop profane things flying pass your ears in this world. You have the option to guide your heart but you don't have the option control or filter everything that you hear. so it's far better to be real in this world.

Seriously I intentionally deleted so many songs i sincerely loved if there's the slightest fword
This action of yours will not do you any good, it will not benefit God in anyway,it will not make you a better christian, ofcourse your salvation is intact whether you delete them or not, neither will it help your church, rather you deleted what entertains you and makes you happy especially when you are bored. I guess you did it to fulfill all righteousness in your local congregation based on what they preach and belief?

. It hurt me buh i was like Bleep it, oops.
don't do anything that will displease yourself and please other people, it doesn't worth it.

It wasn't even adding anything to me
that's what they made you to believe,but seriously you were entertained, you were happy and God want you be happy. Now,think about your father seeing you dancing to a music tone in the sitting room at your home and he becomes happy and feels like dancing too irrespective of the music genre, will you now say God who is even more caring than your father will frown on you for dancing any music?
God is not that babarric.
The way religion has portray God to us, they make us think that God is that big guy up there who brings out is big whips on us when we mess up.
Its not so

theres over a billion songs out thers that are waiting for you to hear them.
i change my songs on weekly count down of MTV base or Trace urban, by this I'm updated with the latest hip hop songs

Botom line: choose what you listen to wisely so as not to get ur subconscious mind corrupted
this is true, but mind corruption is subjective, and it depend on the individual

Happy Sunday.

I used to listen to Lecrae before I dumped Christianity grin . You can check him out if you still want to be listening to rap/hiphop with a fusion of christian-ish lyrics. Lecrae, Triplee e.t.c are the best you can manage for dumbed down hiphop/rap for Christians but to me it's like always eating egg as meat when you can afford a full chicken. grin grin
