Kidz Bop Gangsta Rap [Parody]
This YouTube video, Kidz Bop Gangsta Rap, is a parody of the inexplicably popular Kidz Bop series.
Not safe for work, which I guess is the point. Also lots of n-word thrown around. I’m inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt although who knows. It appears to be in context. I mention it mostly because I don’t want you to play this video at work or within earshot of your children — there’s the aforementioned n-word, as well as the original lyrics of songs like Akon’s ‘I Want to F**k You’, which was changed to ‘I Want to Love You’ for radio.

It’s basically the kind of thing I used to do with my friends into a cassette tape recorder. I was a little younger I think, but I also didn’t have access to video or the Internet.
Pretty sure we stayed away from the n-word too. Although to be fair, I haven’t heard those tapes in awhile.
Not to go far off topic here, but the n-word is one of the few words that makes me uncomfortable. I don’t like white people saying it, unless it’s in a comedy routine, which I suppose is why I keep making excuses for the dopey kids in this video. The argument that Rush Limbaugh and others sometimes make — that if black folks can say it, why can’t white people — is foolish. I’m not going to tell black people what they should call each other. Personally I think it might be a good idea to stay away from the n-word, since it has such a strong negative history and gets misappropriated by nitwits. But the word isn’t the problem.
If my kids made this video, I think I would make them take it down. Let them wait until they have a job on SNL before they start throwing around the n-word.
Still, this is fairly amusing for a non-pro video.

Not safe for work, but very funny.
