Sneakas redefining Jewish rap scene

"Rappers Love Jewish Lawyers" is a supercut including dozens of your favorite rappers giving a shout out to their Semitic attorneys, crediting their ability to keeping them out of jail, lower their prison sentences, or simply watch their back if (and when) they get in trouble.

Some of the highlights from the video include Styles P’s "Good Jewish lawyer turn a 10 to a two-to-four," Kanye West’s "Diamonds blue, his business manager’s Jewish/ And if I get sued, my lawyer's Jews,"

JadaKiss’s “Young Jewish lawyer keepin’ the case right,” and Jay-Z’s "Had to get some challah bread so you can holla back and holla that/ My Jewish lawyer too enjoyed the fruit of letting my cash stack."

A couple of Jewish rappers are featured as well, with Action Bronson advising his listeners to "Employ a lawyer that's been bar mitzvahed/ Never trust a goyim," and Drake rapping "I got a Jewish lawyer as my lead defender/ A mitchkeit as they say he's a legal bender."
