Real Talk: I Won't Let My Kids Listen To Hip Hop.

[bogey_j]

i'm talking mainstream hip hop here

real speak, I dont give a fukk. hip hop isn't for kids and will never be and should never be. hip hop is a demonic genre and I like it that way, but its NOT suitable for a child's ears. if your boy listens to it, it will probably skew his perception of women and if your daughter listens to it she will believe her sex appeal is the only thing she can offer. both will think material wealth is the be-all-end-all



be reality folks: would you really let your 10-year old watch this?

how dare lil wayne make a song like this, knowing he's got three young daughters of his own

 

[Snitchin Splatter]

that just means they're secretly listening to it when you're not around and will put even more stock into what is said. That's how kids work you try to ban them from doing something they make it their mission to defy you

Just let them listen to whatever they want, if you raised them right they should recognize trash when it hits their eardrums

censoring rarely works breh

And your kid will just listen to it anyway. You tryna stop them from doing some shyt will make them wanna do it more. Just educate them and police the influence it has over them.

 

[ThaRealness]

Yes because my kid is gonna be a boss and not be influenced by the music they listen to.

Pretty much. As someone who likes the most ghetto and ratchet music (I'm a Flawda boy ), you've just got to seperate it from real life. I'll walk in to a college classroom bumping Meek Mill/Plies and end the semester with one of the highest averages in the class

so you'd let your 10-year old listen to that huh

 

[Lavish]

when theyre young they will listen to the edited versions...as they get older they can listen to the unedited.

and the only reason id censor it at first is so my 8 year old kid dont go to school and tell his teacher " long as my b!tches love me"

but honestly I never really felt it was that serious. if the world wasnt so i wouldnt even care what he listened to

Clean version + audio only

 

[DStyles]

I voted fukk no.


No way in hell will my kids listen to that noise pollution.

They are going to grow up listening to real music, rock

No homo, I only listen to clean versions of hip hop. I can't appreciate the lyrics if it's too dirty. I'm just saying.

I agree with you fam, today's RAP music is terrible. It's not hip hop whatsoever. It's mainly mainstream as you stated. When the big wig record labels started to infiltrate hip hop, their agenda was to destroy it and dumb it down to the masses. Mind you, hip hop just came out of the disco era which destroyed the efforts of the work the elders put together in the 1960's trying to uplift our communities. When they started the disco era and pimp movies, our agenda to uplift change. Then came the crack era....But, out of that era came something that this government didn't intend to which was hip hop. It was a culture where you took your struggle and chanted to the world. Then you had your Melle Mel's, Public Enemy, X-Clan, KRS-One, Channel Lives, Brand Nubian, Ice Cube, Pacs..etc of the world that came in and was telling folks this is the way it is. Forget those sit-ins, we're taking our freedom. This was a big difference from the 70's era when the status quo felt they finally destroyed our power.

It's funny because growing up, my parents wouldn't let us listen to hip hop. My older brother is 7yrs older than me, he would sneak and listen to hip hop music. Mostly what ppl consider today to be conscious hip hop. The way the music is today, I wouldn't dare let my children even listen to the radio. That's why I'm glad that my father was throwing instruments at us because it mold us into something different. I was born in 88 and we're probably the last generation to experience the golden age of hip hop.

There will be no change until all these major labels are no longer profiting from us. Back in the early 90's, there were mostly only indie labels. Now the elites feel they are ahead of that wave because of distribution. But, the way it's going now, these young MC's are getting themselves hot off the internet and they can basically sell their music through there own channels.

I'm starting to see a change in hip hop, but mainstream will continue to be mainstream. Just to bad the kids live by it through every song and lyric.
