What yo parents think about hip hop?

[UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over]

My mum doesnt have anything against it,she likes 2 listen 2 it from time 2 time.She's rather in2 commercial rap,I guess thats no surprise here.She likes for example Eminem,50,Snoop Dogg,a bit of Dre,u know,all the rappers that people listen 2 when they really aint that much in2 hip hop as we are.One day I turned on Regulate by Warren & Nate real loud & she was like "Im surprised u listen 2 that type of music",lol.I dont know if she knew if this was rap or not,I guess she was just surprised that there are such laid back & great songs like this.I had 2 tell her it was G-Funk & all that,but yeah,she really liked that song.But sometimes she just hates rap & likes 2 criticize it,lol.Anyway on the sideline she thinks Snoop is an idiot,even tho she likes some of his songs.She says he looks like a joke & all that.When he's on TV & tryna look hard she just laughs at him usually.This is what happened 2 me 2day,I just turned on What Would U do by Tha Dogg Pound & my mum just walked in2 my room & when she saw Snoop lookin how he looked in that video clip she just started laughin her head off,lol.That kinda gets on my nerves but I gotta deal with it.So what about yall parents?

[Throwback]

my parents hate that gangsta rap thing, i do to actually. but they like most of my music from time to time like; mos def, talib kweli, common, N*E*R*D* etc. so its all good. my parants say most rappers dress like idiots. my dad always says somethin like: have you noticed that basketball jersey is more like a dress. for godsake it hangs over his knees, what an idiot. its kinda true actually.

Maybe she subconsciously remembered I Keep Forgettin' by Michael McDonald. That's where the sample came from.

I have a great story about my parents introduction to gangsta rap - sorry it's long but its a funny story....


It was 1993 and i was on vacation with my family. Anyways we were at the mall, and I had my Chronic tape in my walkman - I never went anywhere without that tape.  So I go into a music store and ask my dad to hold the tape while I go in so they don't think i stole it.  So my dad looks at the tape and sees some of the song titles and asks me what kind of music it is.  So I tell him, and i figure that was that.  Well then my whole family piles back into the van, and we continue driving.  Then my dad says "I wanna hear what this tape sounds like, put it in the stereo.  So immediately i'm like fuck, but i have to do it.  Now keep in mind, when i first got the tape, i was only listening to the side that had Dre Day, Nuthin but a G thang, etc. I hadn't even listened to the other side yet.  So my dad grabs the tape and throws it in.  It just so happens that he plays the B side, and it is perfectly set on the skit where the chick goes to the doctors office to see dre.  as we all know, dre fucks her, loudly i might add for a good minute or two.  Well my whole family hears the whole thing and are in shock.  let me just say, it was one of the most akward moments of my adolescent life.  But, now my dad has a lot of respect for how talented a producer dre is - so its all good.

My mom isn`t against it and she doesn`t say anything when I listen to it.....but my dad is like "don`t play that so loud".....I have a story too about this but it would take ages to write....

[Sikotic™]

My parents used to be into it when they were younger, most of my OG hip-hop CD's were passed on to me from my dad. Bother of them listen to R&B for the most part, but they still bump 2pac, Warren G, and Quik from time to time.

not really,  he likes how it sounds btu he says the rappin ruins the songs.  He did like a couple of songs tho,  he likes big poppa by biggie
