How would that make her stop listening?
No teenager wants to listen to the same music as their parents.

In the kitchen when you're in there, play music you like so she's exposed to music other than her choosing. It's okay to like all kinds of different music.

Most of this Cupcakke character's songs seem to be about sex. That on it's own would actually be fine; "Like A Virgin" by Madonna was my favorite song when I was DD's age, I'm no prude! But this is just over the top. I can't even the names of most of these songs, that's how bad they are. Some of the less inappropriate titles are "Squidward Nose" and "Dementia". As for the lyrics...I'm not squeamish but this stuff is just insane. Look it up if you're curious, I don't feel comfortable describing specifics. It makes me uncomfortable that she's listening to this content and maybe getting some questionable messages from it. How should I discuss it with her and possibly get her to find some new tunes to listen to?

CupcakKe does not support misogyny, and her songs make this very clear. She makes music that is feminist and empowers women, and you'd know it if you listened to her instead of guessing based on some pretty messed up assumptions about rap music.
