That makes sense. My brother has a six and a three-year-old and rarely listens to his own hip-hop around them. Plus it seems more mainstream for radio hits to have cursing in them. We obviously grew up on Dre and Snoop and Wu-Tang, but they at least had curse-free radio singles.

Yeah, kids don't appreciate how precious that time of innocence is. Life is pretty much on a downhill after grade school. (with obvious highlights like marriage and love sprinkled in there.)

LOL. That's funny.

My brother talks about the same thing - listening to the bad music his kids like. Parents sacrifice a lot for their kids.
