I agree on most of this!!

I despair over so much that is popular in hip-hop these days. I hate that all the bling and naked women seems to be what makes up hip-hop, even though it's not. I remember sneaking into my brother's room and playing his 45 of Slick Rick and Dougie Fresh's "La di da di." I remember listening to Run DMC's 'Peter Piper' over and over, just fascinated with the way they rhymed the words.

Now stuff about shooting and having all these women rule the billboards and it's just...ugh. I love sharing music with my children, but those songs are not part of our music education time.

I know there are other types of hip-hop out there, I just have to search harder for it.

This is a good example: Lupe Fiasco w/Matthew Santos. Man, Matthew's voice is just genius. I love it.
