is grounded in racism. When I was growing up, if rap ever played in front of my parents it was all “UGH” and “rap is crap.. ehehe that rhymes” and “why do they say their pants?!” When I grew up I listened to rap and liked it and realized it was just one additional way my parents were racist. Do your parents hate rap too?

No. I can't relate. My dad had all of his rap cassettes smashed by a sludge hammer by my grandpa lol, who was a radio station DJ. When I was growing up I pirated something like 500 of the best songs rap songs of all time off Demonoid (their words) and imported it on to my zune library. iwas kind of scared when my dad found it but he told me that story, pointed out a lot of the songs he liked, told me I wasnt old enough to listen to Freaky Tales by too short but that he always liked it and to not tell mom lol.

to this day, my dad believes that there have been two snoop doggs and that shock g was the original snoop dogg before they replaced him with the current one. naturally, he prefers the old snoop dogg that "wore a rubber nose and sang the humpty dance"

Never liked much of it from around 2003-present, though. Except for anything new by rappers that were active pre-2000s to begin with (Wu-Tang, Too Short, Geto Boyz, etc). My alarm on my computer for twenty years+ was “drat it Feels Good to be a Gangsta.” For the last twelve years it’s the same song, but on my iPhone’s alarm.

I grew up listening to Tupac and 50 cent op, I just didn't appreciate it until I was picking music on my own. My mom is/was a Sacramento hood rat who got kicked out at 14 for dating a black guy lmfao.

Funny: My son tried to turn me on to stuff he liked (born in 1999), and I ended up getting him hooked on 90s Gangsta stuff. He still likes the newer stuff, but he prefers Geto Boyz & the entire Wu-Tang catalog even more than me now. He’s been to more AC/DC concerts than any other group, though

My dad spent his whole life listening to the delta blues and telling people to appreciate that it was poor black men from the deep south writing songs about their hardship that invented rock and roll and popular music as we know it. Yet he hated rap and got mad when you pointed out that it was poor black men from the cities writing songs about their hardship that created a new kind of popular music. On the plus side now I love listening to Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf as much as I do rappers.

My parents ended up being pretty chill about what I listened to in the end, but one little episode that sticks with me was when mom heard me listening to Basketball Jones on the radio and told me to turn it off. "But mom, it's from the Space Jam soundtrack!" "TURN IT OFF"

my dad gettin mad and yelling at me for "listing to [n-word] music" was how i found out he was a racist, yeah. so i burned a tupac cd and put it in the cd player of his car. he's partially deaf so he never turns the radio on and doesn't know, but anytime a family member borrows the car and turns on music, they think that's what he listens to

You know that one really aggressive friend you had whose parents just let him do whatever and he had a knife and real tear gas he brought back from holiday in Spain and was allowed to watch the real nasty horror films. Well he burned me a CD of 2 Live Crew classics off of kazaa or wherever. I think I was listening to The gently caress Shop when my dad snapped the cd in half and I wasn't allowed to go to his house for a while

my mom listened to and liked rap and hiphop and r&b before I did. my dad liked some christian psuedo-rap and they played it on the christian radio he had on in the van, which is the lamest possible way to be okay with the concept of rap as a type of music.

My parents were into punk and 70s metal, and I remember being pumped the first time I played 36 Chambers around them and they told me to turn it off in disgust as it meant that I finally had something that was 'mine'. Nowadays my mum politely ignores all conversation around hip hop (but likes Young Fathers for some reason), whilst my dad posts cringe boomer comments about kanye on Facebook whenever he's in the news and still refers to rap as "that wicki-wiki poo poo". My dad is kinda racist.

I got in a lot of trouble because I watched the music video for "Without Me" by Eminem on MTV once. my mom came in right as the outro was happening and the text popped up on screen so there was no denying. but it was too late!! I had already heard the entire song!!!! my parents were cool w/ rap though, my mom moreso than my dad. she got me a Run DMC disc as a kid and I think that was the first rap CD I ever owned. pretty sweet

My dad has only listened to 3 artists his entire life. Gene Autry, Roy Orbison, and Johnny Cash. When I was younger and he was in the passenger seat of my car I'd play normal pop garbage on the radio and he'd be really confused. He told me he couldn't understand what was going on. To be fair he flew helicopters in a war and his hearing his hosed. My mom only listens to country and Supertramp lol.

My boomer parents only real objection to rap as far as I can tell has always been “why do they have to swear so much” and “people who drive around blasting bass from their cars are very rude”. My dad watched 8 Mile and his takeaway was “I don’t get it, they just stand there and insult each other. Is that all rap is?”
