Rick Ross' Black Bar Mitzvah and 5 Jewish Rappers That Might Have (Kosher) Beef with the Bawse

For reasons that have still yet to be revealed, Rick Ross has a new mixtape out titled The Black Bar Mitzvah, featuring cover art depicting the heavyweight rapper covered in fur and, uh, the star of David.

The only thing weirder than the Teflon Don converting to the world's oldest monotheistic religion via digital download is a Mormon congressman writing songs about Chanukah.

Lucky for him, Utah Senator Orin Hatch didn't incur the wrath of Jewish MCs like Shyne. The same can't be said for the Bawse, who has found himself in some deep Hasidic shit for, according to the actually Jewish rapper, cashing in on the Torah, the Talmud, et al.

Here are five more Jewish rappers that Ricky Rozay best keep an eye on if he wants to remain Big Macher.
