does listening to fast-paced rap music ruin one's focus longer than the time taken to listen to the song?

i believe i have trouble focusing. i listen to rap music on a daily basis but not while studying. does rap music play a part in me not being able to focus for a long period of time? will listening to soothing music IMPROVE my concentration?

1. No, I don't believe that our focus will tend to be affected during study time just because we listened to rap during other periods of the day. Rap music tends to blend into the background and quickly loses its ability to command our full cognitive attention even when we are listening to it. That incessant beat and those repetitive phrases tend to lose their ability to maintain our attention after a certain period of time. We tend to groove to it, but more at a feeling, rather than a cognitive, level.
