I'm not a fan of rap (rebellious African people) and I have never cared for "Ebonics". Rap music is a sub cultural music that involves sex, guns, gangs and denigrates women, for the most part. Not appropriate for young impressionable kids.
As far as musical exercise....that's great for rainy days and days when kids ca not be outside exercising and absorbing Vit D.
What's next Twerking for kids?
Rebellious African People? lol That's the name of a rapper"s album, but "rap" doesn't stand for that
I'm not sure what the big deal is here. I just watched the video and the music is catchy, fun and completely harmless. I think kids will like it. Rap and hip hop are being incorporated into all kinds of music. Just like rock and roll, some of the lyrics might be controversial but not all.
I'm not sure how old some of you are, but kids and teens love this kind of music, so it's probably a better way to reach them. I don't think something like Sweating to the Oldies would be very effective. Jordin Sparks is pretty mainstream and Doug E Fresh is no Eminem.[/quote]
I tell ya what, you continue to try and raise your kids as COOL and HIP, and those who choose should be able to raise ours the way we see fit.
having RAP music FORCED on our children at school is not fair.
How about we go to Chicago and FORCE some country music on them lol, bet they would be calling us racist.
