I’m a lover of hard beats, catchy lyrics and almost anything I can dance to. Which is why I absolutely understand why kids love urban music. I hesitate to call it rap or hip hop music, since those genres of music originated to say something worth saying. 

The music heard on radio waves today have four main story lines: Sex, drugs, money or heartbreak. I don’t know about you but my babies are too young to be singing about any of these things.

Here are 3 songs our kids shouldn’t be singing:

1.) I’m in love with the CoCo by O.T. Genasis – The beat has made this a club banger but the constant mentions about drugs has made it a no no to sing in my house. Although you could tell your kids CoCo is for CoCoa Puffs, some adult would mess up the fairy tale by telling your kid the truth. 

2.) I don’t mind by Usher ft. Juicy J –  I’m all for women’s liberation and men finally understanding that a woman’s body is her own but I’m not encouraging any girls to dance on poles. Nope not going to happen.

3.) Throw Some Mo by Ray Sremmurd ft. Nicki Minaji – Now I love some Nicki. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll allow my kids or any kids in my home to sing about throwing more money to keep someone dancing. Yeah, let’s find another way to invest your money kids.

This list grows everyday. Now that I think about it I should add those damn Viagra and Condom commercials to this list. No, I’m for real. That’s a whole different post.

How do you talk to your kids about inappropriate  song lyrics?
