at what age should we introduce hip hop to kids ...
..waits for some to say say a really low age in a LOL hunting mission..
-
shhh i'm hunting LOL's

Depends on which rapper.
Will Smith can be intoduced at a young age for example.
-
rap is going to be the norm, its going to be elevator music, commerical music, etc etc juts like how rock is today. its just a matter of time, its pretty funny how people would label rap as "bad", shows how immature they are and they probaly think their bad because they listen to rap.
so basically i dont think theres an age limit, but them to hear gangsta rap or rock that glorifies drugs and what not, i think theyll be ready at 13 or 14 (not that theyll be ready for it, more cuz theyll be exposed to it and restricting them of it, would just piss offf the kid,)
i mean lets just ask ikke, his balls stil havnty dropped yet

How predictable, good one +1

Like Cornholio said, depends on the rapper. I dunno why people lump rap music together as if its all one music. There is like 50 different categories of rock music....yet Will Smith, Luke, Nas, and Snoop are all just considered rap. My first rape tape back in the day was a Fresh Prince ("Rock the House") tape. There was nothin wrong with listenin to that shit at 8 yrs old. A year later I was fuckin with DJ Quik's, "Quik is the Name". I dunno about that shit for little kids....lol

Rap will never be elevator music until either (a) the sex, drugs and profanity is toned down and taken out completely of the genre or (b) profanity and sex become acceptable for everyone. Sex is still a taboo in America. And yes, sex and drugs were present in classic rock, but they didn't use the kind of language that rap music does and they were usually cleverly disguised by metaphors, whereas mainstream rap just comes out and says it. The type of rap music that would be acceptable for everyone has never been the type that was most popular.
So sad to say, rap music will never be the norm until American culture changes its views considerably. And by the time that happens, true rap music won't exist on a mainstream level anymore. You can already see that it has started to happen. Its turning into techno now.

i wouldn't mind introducing a child to mainstream rap at a younger age.
no reason for them to hear "fuck the police" & topics of that nature.
songs off of Kanye's "Graduation" are perfect examples of songs i would allow a child to listen to.
maybe some Lupe, more happy, upbeat guys; then eventually let them find their way into other branches of hip hop.

never

So u wouldnt let them listen to a song that demonstrates the peoples frustration with an injust and often corrupt "justice system"....but then turn around and let them listen to a faggot? lol

but at the age of 8, they wouldn't even understand it.
all they would get out of it is hearing "fuck", "shit", "bitch", etc.
with Kanye, they got a cool beat to vibe to; it would be a good start; plus those tracks off of Graduation weren't bad for hip hop.
then when they hit like 13-14, i tell 'em, "you know this guy named Tupac is considered the best...". ;D

LOL at this thread. Its not like my mom came to me and gave me the Coolio tape and told me to listen to "Gangsters Paradise."
I found that shit myself when i was like 8 years old.
With all the new technology these days kids that are 10 have cell phones n shit. Kids can introduce themselves into what music they want to listen to easier these days.

Good point. Since none of us listen to the same music as our parents, why the fuck would our kids?

at a certain age, yeah they do their own thing; but when they are 8 years old, the only music they are bumpin' is what is on the radio & that is usually controlled by the parents driving the car when the kid is so young.
parents do have influence on what the kids listen to at a young age.
i mean, older siblings could introduce it too & then they bump some NWA lol.
but i like the point how we don't listen to our parents music; truth is, the next generation won't listen to rap, it's obvious the mainstream & what gets bought is straying away from what was "real rap".
in a few years autotune will get old, somebody will come up with a new gimmick & they will jump to that.
-
Every kid starts getting into either the music their parents like or popular music at around 8 years old.
A couple of years later they all start developing their own music taste.
The reason all this 'wack' hip hop is so popular now is because most of these kids haven't heard real hip hop as comparison.
-
never

Yeah, prolly never. I'll even monitor what they listen to on the radio. Not all genres are PG.

That's going to backfire at you.
Forbid them to listen to something and they start liking it more than when they would listen to it normally on the radio.

well this generation of parents, for the most part, didn't grow up on Hip Hop.
40-50 year old people, weren't bumpin' Pac when it came out.
that's why 13-14 year old kids came across guys like Wayne & shit & thought it was unreal.
plus it has more of a modern sound & swag is the new way to bag bitches; which i fall victim too myself. ;)
-
my parents listened to like elton john, rod stewart and other types of rock for fuck sakes.
It had no affect on me what so ever. Although i can jam out to a little stewart here and there sometimes.
Kids are going to listen to whatever they want. Period.
-
I know for damn sure I'm not introducing a kid to hardcore shit....if they find it on their own then that's one thing.
But there's clean raps that I'm cool with, as long as the language and the subject matter is cool.
-
we shouldnt let kids isten to rap. we should let the genre die. kinda like classic music, en country just keep it available for the niche.
