POLL: Did you Hate The Music Your Parents played Growing up?

[Dynamite James]

I'm Trying To See Something Here

Considering my Parents and different Family Members are the ones who introduced me to music and I developed my Taste along the way. I never saw in any black family where the kids hated the music that was being played in the house. The Music was Appreciated.

I Can see that happening to White Families (You know their parents not playing the "Cool Music" Hip Hop)
Or If your parents did not listen to Secular music .

Nah, even back then I liked most of the music my momma played and listen to it now that I'm older.


I did hate Bootsy Collins tho. Not because his music was bad, but because she'd blast him while I was tryna sleep yelling "It's Bootsy, baby!!! " at the top of her lungs. Got on my nerves.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I loved it. My mom loved Biggie, NWA and Method man; my dad loved Rakim and KRS-One.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

mom played all her 80's shyt and gospel, R&B, not a rap fan really, not even the 80s/90s stuff

step pops listened to literally everything. from Gospel, Jazz, hard Rock, Brazilian, House, Rap etc Every friday he'd have him two or three new CD's

man is a music junkie to a T.

 

[old boy]

hall and oates, mike, michael mcdonald, tina turner, prince... loved it bro


my people weren't musicologists like me. square west indian folks who bumped calypso at parties or just played whatever was poppin on top 40 radio. unlike other hip hop heads my age i ain't grow up listening to the soul, blues & jazz shyt that my favorite producers sampled. i learned about that music much later in life. but my knowledge of 70's disco and 80's pop is on fleek. i still legit fukk with chic, kenny loggins and pat benatar lol

 

[Lord_nikon]

How could u hate sam cooke, Michael Jackson, Prince etc

 

[Crude]

My mom and dad listened to Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Sade, Frankie Beverly and Maze, etc.

I was on that gangsta ish back then with 2Pac, Biggie, E, Bone Thugs N Harmony, UGK, No Limit, and Cash Money.

They didn't like all that cussing and constant use of the n-word.

As I got older I learned to appreciate all of that music it's actually mostly what I listen to now.

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

My dad a pastor
Hell fukkin no I ain’t like gospel music.i hate religion and all that cause I was surrounded 24/7 by it

That’s all my parents ever and will play.

Even at weddings or functions half my family walk out cause of secular music

 

[Trot LaRoc]

My parents came up in the late 70s and early 80s so it was a lot of Prince, Rikk James, Gap Band, Luther, Alexander O Neal, Jeff Osborne, Will Downing, MJ, New Edition, Anita Baker etc

Pops was a big r&b head but he liked Biggie, Snoop n Dre, Jigga and the more smoother shyt. He aint fw rough, street shyt like DMX...too much cussing n violence

 

[Noriega]

My dad a church head, I don’t got no beef with church/religion but I hate gospel music

Dude would listen to the same 2-3 gospel CDs whenever we’d go on road trips

By the time we got whatever I wanted to slam my head against a wall.And he’d play them repeatedly. I rather listen to AM radio than that shyt

Moms was into Common, talib kweli, Mos, Nas, AZ so I guarantee I was the only 14 year old bumping Doe or Die on the bus back in 2015
