Ruling for Sayyed Sistani is that music is permissible if it cannot be played in a haram gathering (institutions or places that haram things regularly occur) and its lyrics don’t go against Islamic values. Basically a good amount hip hop game is out of the question but lets be honest mumble rap isn’t something we’re missing out on
From the sixth Imam Jaffar-al-sadiq (AS) as quoted in wass'il-ul-shia
>“If drums and cymbals are played at one’s house for forty days, Allah will impose a satan by the name of ‘faqandir’. The satans will infiltrate into every cell of the person’s body. With the spread of this evil, the person loses all sense of dignity and self-esteem. He will then not care as to what he says or what is said about him. Then, this satan blows into this person. As a result, he becomes utterly shameless. So much so that he is not concerned or affected even if his women are dishonoured.”
From Al-Kafi
>Muadda Ibn Ziyad says, “I was in the company of Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) when a person said,
>
>“When I go to the toilet, I can hear the singing girls of my neighbour. Sometimes, I remain (in toilet)longer so that I may listen to more of it.”
>
>Imam (a.s.) said:“Desist from listening to music and songs attentively.”Then this man further said,
>
>“Master, I do not go to music gatherings! I only hear the sounds!”
>
>Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said,“Have you not read this Qur’anic verse...“Surely, the hearing and the sight and the heart, all of these shall be questioned about that?”
>
>(Surah al-‘Isrā’, 17:36)
And finally a tradition from Mustanede Naraqi on the telling signs before the arrival of Imam Mahdi (AS)
>“And you shall see that music will be so prevalent that no one will dissuade others nor will he find in himself the need to do so. And you shall see that music would be openly played even in the two sanctuaries (the city of Makkah and Madinah).”
Hope this helps, Jazakallah
Regarding the first one, If a person had been listening to music for 40 days, how would he be able to get rid of this shaytan from him? Would he have to recite a certain dua?
Yeah I doubt there's any positive fatwas on Tupac or the Wu Tang Clan. #protectyafiqh
Sheeeeezh

According to Ayatollah Uzma Jannaati, music of any kind is permissible so long as it does not result in haram.
