I listen to a rapper named ASAP Rocky, and some of his songs were produced by a guy named Clams Casino. And that Clams Casino guy made a song/video called "I'm God", so would I be committing the unpardonable sin if I listen to the ASAP Rocky songs that were produced by Clams Casino since he made that blasphemous song?

Cool Guy, my first question is, if you know that it is wrong to listen to Clams Casino claim (clearly he is not God) why would you? Surely you never want to claim that you are God (that is blasphemy). God is a jealous God visting the iniquities to the third and fourth generation of them that hate Him (Numbers 20). That means that if you stir up blasphemy, your kids and kids kids and kids kids kids would get a curse. I think that you get the picture.
Now the beautiful part, God is a wonderful loving and magnificent God who is always wanting the creation that He made (that is you) to come to Him. He said and says, I will be your God, you will be my people, and I will come down (and help). Remember though that He is Holy (set apart). God is not like us. Jesus is so pure and innocent. He is also a strong and mighty warrior. Jesus died to pay that sin debt that we as people all have. What is required? To love God with all your heart, mind, and strength. To believe God (that is believe everything that God says He is) and to have faith in Him. There are so many benefits of being a Christian. Life more abundantly is one. You would not believe the freedom that there is in walking with the Lord Jesus. There is no other life like it.
I urge you Cool Guy to put your trust in God and in Jesus sacrifice that He paid for you on the cross. Love God. Love People.
By the way the unpardonable sin is the blaspheme the Holy Spirit. What that is could be another topic to ask on this site.
Peace be upon you. That's a good question. It's a sin to associate partners with God Almighty. In other words it's a sin to worship any idols or person other than God Almighty Himself. Remember God Almighty is oft-forgiving, however, He is also just. The only sin that God Almighty do not forgive is idol-worshipping as God Almighty has said to His creation through ALL His Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them) to worship none other than Himself. So when you listen to music/rap that contradicts your teachings, you know very well it's not acceptable. Easiest way is that if there's an action where you have doubts, best not to go ahead with that action until you're 100% CONVINCED that it's not a sin! Hope this helps. Peace.
Yes. “Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greediness not even be mentioned among you.” (Ephesians 5:3)
Other approve of or even promote behavior that violates wholesome values, such as Bible principles. Indeed, some musical genres are known for depravity, hatred, and violence. Rap lyrics are occasionally shocking, sometimes brutal, and rife with misogyny and obscenities.
Nowadays, that is a challenge, for true to Bible prophecy, people in general are “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, SELF-ASSUMING, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, . . . lovers of pleasures RATHER THAN lovers of God.” (2 Timothy 3:1-4) Hence, verse 5 says: “From these turn away.”
How do you turn away from people like that? Obviously, you need to do more than just stay away from them in person. You must also reject products that reflect their godless ways. (Ephesians 4:25, 29, 31) But will that unduly limit your choice in music? Not at all!
