ive been trying for the last few years to come up with a master list of kid friendly hiphop
i had no idea just how much hiphop out there isnt appropriate for children, even the clean versions dont account for drug use and sexual content
my son is 8
my hiphop intro to him has been mostly reduced to 80's hiphop with a few scatters of current selections
i know many of you love music as much as i do
what do you do in this area for younger children?
i did notice alot of VEVO videos are clean versions, so that helped out
only problem was i put the clean video version of 'Good Life' on my sons iPad, next thing i know he's walking around singing about popping bottles and ****
im like aw man, we cant be doing that
you too young for that
Outkast is another problem
while Andre3000 is cool, BigBoi cant help but put a pistol, dope, or sexual content in his rhymes
then i thought about the Bombs of Baghdad video....NOPE, stripper pole, and strippers.
damn BigBoi
someone suggested Camp Lo
to which they do curse, but they rhyme so fast no one really understands what they're saying
any suggestions
so far i have these videos:
Rob Base - It Takes Two
Fat Boys - All You Can Eat
Run DMC -
Tribe Called Quest- Award Tour
Big Daddy Kane - Aint No Half Steppin
Bid KRIT - Bigger Picture
Common - Come Close
D Nice - They Call Me D Nice
De La Soul - Me Myself and I
Digable Planets - Rebirth
Kanye West - Heard Them Say
Kid n Play - Gettin Funky
LL Cool J - I Need A Beat
LL Cool J - Im Bad
MC Lyte - Cha Cha Cha
Mos Def - Umi Says
Outkast - Rosa Parks
Shad - The Old Prince Lives At Home
Slick Rick - Childrens Story
Will Smith - Men In Black
