Yo, Dawgs! My 4 year old nephew LOVES hip-hop music. I'm trying to assemble a CD for him using i-tunes. I'm looking for clean and appropriately themed songs that still sound good. I know there are some very musically oriented people on this forum (ahem Dashn) who might know something. HELP!  |

Already got Black Eyed Peas. I'm looking for a variety. Seems like just about every hip-hop song on i tunes is either explicit or singing about doin' the nasty or drugs/prison/etc. Not good for 4 year olds. I did find some India.Arie and a song about hope from Coach Carter.

There was a song I heard on the radio in my math class by Eminem. It's about oppertunity and the music industry, etc. I didn't hear anything explicit and, coming from someone who doesn't like hip-hop, it was pretty catchy.

Thanks. If that is the one from 8 Mile, I got it. I'm not a hip hop/rap fan, but that song is powerful.

When it comes to hippity hop and rap music, I prefer mine swank-a-fied by Richard Cheese. You can get his great versions of modern music at www.iloverichardcheese.com |

I've made a few mix CDs for my son, who is now 5 1/5 years old. Here is a list of the songs he has really liked:
Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started
Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love
AkoN - Lonely
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.
Bow Wow - Let Me Hold You
Nelly - Over and Over Again (ft. Tim McGraw)
Car Wash (Shark Tale Mix) --from the Shark Tale soundtrack
I Like To Move It, Move It --from the Madagascar soundtrack
Baha Men - Who Let the Dogs Out
Baha Men - Best Years of Our Lives --from the Shrek soundtrack
Baha Men - Move It Like This
You will also be safe with Will Smith songs - like Just the Two of Us, Black Suits Comin', etc.
Non Hip-Hop Songs:
Barenaked Ladies - If I Had 1000000 Dollars (this is his favorite song)
Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me
Anyway, some ideas there ... hope that helps.
