Ask a Dad

What kind of music should my child listen to?

This is without a doubt the most important question a parent could ever ask. It’s a shame no one has asked me this question yet. Several books and journals tout the advantages of classical music for advancing your child’s brain development. Here’s the thing with that: the name of this blog is “Ask a Dad”, not “Ask a Scientist.” Who knows more about hands-on fathering, a scientist or an actual dad?

I say, if you want your child to develop an optimal amount of self-awareness, self-confidence, and a particularly aggressive form of self-reliance, nothing can help facilitate these characteristics more than gangsta rap. Yeah, I said it. 50 Cent, TI, Snoop Dog, Lil’ Wayne, etc. Boy or girl, by the time your little one is able to speak, they’ll be hatching plans to move out of their house to start their own clothing line.

They’ll learn to command respect from children much older than themselves. Their inflated egos will catapult them into leadership positions and envied social groups. They’ll gain an appreciation for monetary accumulation and precious metals. Most of all, your children will grow up at an astonishingly advanced rate.

Basically, gangsta rap music will do a lot of your parenting for you – and that’s a good thing. Peace!
