my parents wont accept any rap music
In the past few years, I started listening to many types of music including hip hop and rap. I found out that I really enjoy listening to Eminem, but my dad is especially close minded about him. I know that he has some bad songs, but I believe that he is still a good person and does have some meaningful songs. How can I get my parents to understand my point of view of Eminem even if I am a Christian?

Find out what type of music your parents like. Then find information on some of the artists or find out some lyrics from the songs they like that happen to be bad. There are negative parts to all music. If you need help finding them send me a message on the type of music they like and I will help you. Then when I send you the information you can show your parents that there are bad in all areas but that doesn't mean EVERYTHING about it is bad including rap and hiphop. Also try showing your parents some positive rap like Will Smith for example. Everybody loves Will Smith. lol Perhaps you can introduce your parents to Christian rap.
At the end of the day before you know it you will be grown and moved on out of your parents house and you won't have to worry about it but I think it is GREAT that you have a good open relationship with your parents. Please know that they only want whats best for you as I'm sure you are aware so they want to keep anything negative away from you. They love you.I myself love Eminem's music but as a mother of three boys I really don't want them to hear all that. YOu know what I mean? So, it's all about love not trying to control you or limit your fun. Just the fear that one thing can lead to another. I think you're a good kid and I hope everything works out :)

i was the same way! i dont really listen to rap, my sister does though. maybe try to talk to your dad and say something like i know you dont like him but i do, can i listen to it if you dont hear, maybe go in your room with the door closed or something.
and if he doesnt like you listenng to it period, then you will have to listen to him because then he will just get more mad,
good luck, try to talk to him and i hope everything goes well, hope i helped(:

Talk to them, music is an art. You can appreciate any type of art you want. When it comes to music, its ALL opinions. Different people might not consider Hip Hop/Rap an art, but it definitely is. Most of the time, artists make hip hop look bad and "Lower Class" But that is a stereotype. The artists are expressing themselves like artists do. I don't listen to mainstream Hip Hop. I do not like Eminem but I don't hate him or look down on him, its just not my type. Anybody should be able to listen to what they like. My type of Hip Hop goes against the stereotype in so many ways. You should try listening to some underground MC's such as Immortal Technique, Atmosphere, and Canibus. I love hip hop & rap, but I hate when people look down on it. My parents are the same way.
