Nobody mentioned any of the hardcore rap. Drill rap that talks about murder and rape and gang violence. That needs to be censored until they are older.

These are Cardi B lyerics-

Yeah, you f—ing with some wet a– p—y
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet a– p—y
Give me everything you got for this wet a– p—y

Beat it up, n—a, catch a charge
Extra large and extra hard
Put this p—y right in your face
Swipe your nose like a credit card
Hop on top, I wanna ride
I do a kegel while it’s inside
Spit in my mouth, look in my eyes
This p—y is wet, come take a dive
Tie me up like I’m surprised
Let’s role play, I wear a disguise
I want you to park that big Mack truck
Right in this little garage
Make it cream, make me scream


I introduced early female and male rappers to my kids in elementary school. TLC, Lil Jon, Outcast, Salt n Peppa.

I’m just happy there is no Taylor Swift in my house.

I still think of her when I hear the song. She was very concerned! Bless her heart.

TBF that was my wife's favorite song when we met and she is very often Very Depressed.

Ha! I wouldn't have said it was my favorite, but I guess I left it on the radio and my mom went from there. I did listen to a disturbing amount of Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco too. Still no depression, just teenage ANGST. In my upper middle class suburb, my white girl life was rough .

It's music. Get over it

Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to get my DD to listen to some more hip-hop and r&b with me, but she just wants the Encanto soundtrack.

You are the coolest parent.

That aside, no clue what a “sexy red” is lol

Here's your introduction to Sexxy Red, Gen-Z's hottest idol:

Lil Kim was doing the same thing 20 years ago. Yes, I knew all the words.

I'm going to set aside any debate about any differences in the sophistication of the metaphors and innuendo between Kim and Sexxy Red.

But what spooks and rubs most people the wrong way about Sexxy Red is her appeal to elementary age children. They know her songs and her songs are definitely not elementary appropriate.

Lil' Kim appealed to middle and high schoolers.

This..is not music. Yikes.

That sounds like DD's playlist. And yeah, I listed to 2 Live Crew as well.

DD does not play her most explicit/problematic music when I'm around. Not because I said anything, but probably because it's embarrassing to listen to it with your mom, the way watching sex scenes in movies is. I do talk to her about glorification of violence, misogyny and other problematic lyrics, but would not dream of censoring what she listens to. And I do provide some gentle guidance, say how terrible Kanye's current music is compared to the old stuff, and making sure she knows Tupac, Run DMC, Biggie, Jay Z, Ice Cube/T, Missy, etc.

2 Live Crew! I forgot about them. I was a VERY censored teen and also very innocent, nice and studious but listened to this and when with friends interjected the F word for most clean lyrics when singing. I have to remind myself of this with my now teen. Its fine, music is fun and a way to get the angst out.

So listening to racist rap crap is A-OK?
Sure. Got it.

NWA's Straight Out of Compton album is a masterpiece

AMEN!!! We could be great friends frankly I am so thankful for it. Leads to great conversation. I always wonder if these uptight parents know anything about what is going on in their kids lives.

When we gave her a phone in seventh grade, we clearly outlined that we always have access to her phone because we are the ones who bought it/we pay for her plan etc.. But, even though I don't like this music is it a step too far to be censoring the music she listens to? Otherwise she is a very good kid and I want to give her some freedom but the song really rubbed me the wrong way

How old are you and what did you listen to when you were a teen?

this - I listen to it with my kid.....bigger fish to fry and if a beat cranks then damn it it just does
