Homework assignment: Ask your children what they are listening to and come back w/ a song.

They like Journey, Maroon5, and Adele so they can't help.

I would disown my kid for listening to Journey! LOL

Not the PP by my kids will come back with "The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc". None of them are rap music kids. They prefer classic rock. My oldest doesn't think good music was made after 1990 and that some of the 80s were debatable.

We've apparently raised old souls

No, you've just raised music snobs who, lacking originality, replicate their parents' listening history in an attempt to appear indie and/or "alternative."

Also love old school rap, but some of it is a bit "elementary" in style and substance.

I like all of those songs except for Tom Ford. It's not a good look, too formulaic and shallow. Jay Z sounds like an old man trying to stay relevant.

I think that an artist like Drake or 2 Chainz could have pulled it off.

I definitely get what you're saying. Jay-Z is certainly aging himself out of the game, but I guess my nostalgia for rappers who were out during his time (Nas, 2Pac, Biggie) makes me stay loyal to him. Plus, you can't really knock his hustle. The man is one enterprising SOB!

Keeping my eye on Kendrick Lamar. He's another good one.

I like slam dunks and taking it to the hoop.
My favorite play is the alley oop.
I like the pick and roll, the give and go.
It's basketball Mr. Kurtis Blow.

I doubt many people on DCUM know what that is.

Love it! Except don't want it playing while the kids are in the car - don't want my kids singing it/asking what does it mean - maybe when they're older.

I love rap and hip-hop.
I don't like violence, mysogony, or the big money glorification.
So guess what I do?
I don't listen to that STYLE of rap?
I can like rap and not listen to Tip Drill -- the very thought makes me ill.

Btw, I go back decades, and the original rappers were NOT denigrating women. I would have no problem with my kids listening to any of the old school rap. Not sure how some of it evolved into the violence and over the top sex thing.

I am the pp to whom you are responding and I go back decades too -- and old school rap is also my preference.
