Now is the time to deny your child rap "music."  If you encourage this preference he has for this genre he will not relish "kiddy-friendly" rap for his entire life.  This type of music is not wholesome - it does the opposite of encouraging good citizenship and morality.\n\nIntroduce him to Mozart.

I would suggest an MP3 player. Or an iPod shuffle. Both are extremely cool and  he can download ANY SONG HE WANTS on there. If he already has one, get him an iTunes gift certificate. Totally awesome.

I think you're in the wrong category to ask that question. Sorry, don't know any good rap songs as I don't like rap.

Geez I'm trying to remember being 13 or 14, Ha!  When I was that age a nice album was a great gift, so realizing that they are not that readily available or playable I suppose a CD would be nice.  One that would be of a band I like and perhaps makes me think of you when played.

Country music for a 2 yr old? I listen to country musis all the while. Try going to walmart.com and go to their music downloads. They are 88 cents. You can pick a ton of music for very little. If I knew what type of country music..fast/slow, I could help more..but for starters...try trace adkins, brad paisley or tim mcgraw...they all are very good.

Maybe you should quote some hip hop that's definitely not evil... like Dear Mama by TuPac.  Then you can talk about family in hip hop by talking about this TuPac song and the Eminem songs to his daughters and other stuff like that... then you could talk about how in the 90s, hip hop was usually about gangs, but it was not meant to get people to join gangs, but really to show them what life on the streets is like... There are tons of ideas out there - just pick a couple themes and use them, or your speech will probably end up way too long.  I've listed a couple websites below, check them out for more help:

i've only heard it very briefly on TV for a promo it was HELLLLLLA annoying!\nwhy does it seem that rap music these days are biting off of children's music?  it's so unoriginal and retarded.  i love rap & hip-hop, but this is just pathetic!

I partially agree with you. Rap and hip-hop are not a good example for young children. And I don't like listening to them either. I think it's like saying a "poetry" without a rhyme, on a bass rhytm. Plus, it talks only about how poor they are or how they drug themselves or how they have sex... Not art at all...\nThough I believe I spotted in your message a little rasism... That's not good at all. From this point of view, you are not a good example for children either... You know, there are Caucasian hip-hop-ers and rap-ers. You shouldn't blame the Afro-american people for this kind of "music". There are numerous black people who play pop, dance, disco... since the '80s.\n\nAdding other comments in my answer: Yes, it's disastrous that people are not anymore interested in musical instruments. I myself used to take piano lessons, but the lack of time made me quit them. I am not American, so i do not know exactly what they show on your MTV, nor what singers have lately appeared. I also dislike Kanye West and other Americans' songs (not blaming anyone but those who write/sing them). That's why I also quit watching MTV, because it's overcrowded with the worst songs. Instead, I started watching VH1. I recommend it to you, for it broadcasts only what is good, and, what's more, you get to hear older music (which I am a fan of). You can also listen to music on your Y! Launch Cast. I know I do and I love it.\nAbout your last phrase, I believe you ought to be a little more moderate. It is rude and offensive to say that the people here do not have brains (and in general too), especially that I and somebody else had already answered to your question before you posted that comment. Hope will take this as a piece of advice!

How about employing Eminem. You can't go wrong. xxx

mosdef is a leader in his field. also, talib kweli, common, the crew from jurassic five, nas is similar in content to jay-z. also, try immortal technique if you want intense, intelligent and political. one of my favorites is atmosphere. there are many others, you just won't hear them on the radio and you may have to search a little harder.

try contemporary Christian music. Some of the best are Newsboys, Third Day, Newsong, etc. One group you may really like who does some rap style too, is Toby Mac. Pretty Rockin' concerts, too!
