they can't really stand it.  My dad is more loose with it though.  he knows what's up. I catch him quoting lines from classics such as Nothin But A G Thang and It Was A Good Day.  but for the most part they think it's talent less.   lol  they never banned me from listening to it. 

I gave both of them a cd of Dj Quik Instrumentals and they looooove that.   little do they know BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 8)

my pops thought the shit was a trend back in the day when it was going through its growing pains...(breakdancing etc....)
but by the time the 90's hit he was down....Im proud to say my dad owns a copy of all eyes on me and life after death and several other c.d.'s ( jay z....etc) my moms cool with it too....I remember when I got a copy of all ice cubes kill at will I was trying to hide the parental advisory sticker from him but he seen it and said......It aint as bad as what you see and hear on tv and was cool with it.

In an interview with Brian Wilson earlier this year, they asked him what modern music he listened to... he said some funny shit (you know he's completely out of touch with reality, basically)... he said that modern music was crap, he called it crap instead of rap (and then laughed histerically like he was the first to think of that)... and then said

"Everybody sounds so angry.  I can't understand what they're saying.  I want to go up and just tap them on the shoulder, and say "Excuse Me, Can I help you with Something?"

My mom is cool with it, she just doesnt really like nwa or the gangsta bullshit, but I dont really like it anymore either lol so its all good.

My dad is ok with it.. he's basically the same as my mom but does like the artists like mos def or talib or common.. etc, whereas my mom does.

Grandparents hate it and my grandpa is always sayin i dont call it rap music, i call it crap music ;D hahahaha, but he doesnt mind some artists who make beats.. like madlib, he loves shades of blue.

This really is a pointless topic, because its pretty well known most parents and older people in general do NOT like rap. Rap is a culture that is a voice for todays generation, and most older people are very ignorant and dont understand it. However, us heads know that hip hop is a very beautiful thing and is here to stay, no matter how many older/more conservative people may oppress it!!!!

I think that's the biggest reason for them not to like hiphop - they just don't really pay attention to the lyrics. I hear that from people of our age also, and they even say the beats are repeative... Fuckin' hell, it sounds like they never even heard the guitar accords in rock music being repeated.

Ignorance is one bad thing  8)

Anyway, about my parents... My dad absolutely hates it (too noisy and all, probably because of the bass) and my mom doesn't like R&B because she thinks it's hella lot of crying by the singers (and often I do agree with her). She thinks hiphop is a bit better - she often listens to the radio with me, but then again, so do I listen to their music. It's not that she likes it, but most of the times she'll be fine listening to it. And she hates southern hiphop, but so do I most of the time  8)

may i use the word naive? also, as if 'modern music' = rap. Other artists his age know their 'modern music' too...i think Paul McCartney for example is quite interesting to listen to when he talks about music nowadays. this ^ is, uhm, not the result of analyzing music in a differentiated way ::) (which is nothing appalling actually, only for a musician of his calibre i think it's a rather embarassing statement)

They both used to like it back in the late 80's & early 90's. They just grew out of it but still listen from time to time.
