BEYONCE KNOWLES’ manager father MATHEW is so scared his grandchildren will pick up foul language from hip-hop music he’s created his own album of sanitised tunes.
Mathew, who already has a 23-month-old grandson thanks to Beyonce’s younger sister, SOLANGE, worries the young rap fan is picking up bad words from his favourite tracks. He’s produced KID’S RAP RADIO to help other parents with similar concerns.
The new album series features hip-hop singles remade with cleaned-up lyrics rapped by kids.
Mathew tells MTV, "When he (grandson) hears a rap, he goes nuts, dancing and saying the lyrics.
"It’s cute to watch, except for one problem. As a grandfather, I’m very concerned about what my grandson is saying.
"(The album) gives them the thumping music but changes the content so it’s parent-friendly, teacher-friendly and you feel good about your kids at that young age listening and repeating the lyrics." However, his project has come under fire from watchdog organisation Morality in Media, which fears the tunes will simply lure children to hip-hop from an earlier age.
Its president, ROBERT PETERS, says, "What this would do is get the kid used to the song, and then when the real stuff comes, wow - they’re going to be even more in tune with the (original version of the) song.
"Really, this has a lot of parallels to what the tobacco industry was doing before Congress cracked down, and that’s packaging an adult product to make it more appealing to children." As well as Kid’s Rap Radio, Volumes 1 & 2, Mathew’s record label Music World will also release KID’S RAP CHRISTMAS next month (NOV06).
