nah Raising Hell is totally better
like, I would recommend He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper all day and all night
huh you know I don't have this album and I should - the singles from it are great. however, this is also precisely the limit of my tolerance of Will Smith lol

There wasn't much that was "bad" for kids in "pop" rap pre 1988, was there?
yeah but note I said "post-'87". there's tons of old school stuff that's kid-appropriate and awesome - Whodini, the Biz, etc

with Tribe I'm gonna have to explain what jimmy hats are...likewise "Bust A Move" is a pretty jolly tune but I have it in a karaoke video game & it's waaaay more lewd than I want to sing with my 10 year old.

first Tribe has Pubic Enemy on itLow End Theory has a ton of swearing, plus the date rape songMidnight Marauders has an ENTIRE SONG about the n-word
Latifah - eh, I dunno, never really been into her cuz I found that "Ladies First" single annoying. Monie Love otoh...
I dunno which Del album yr referring to, the first one is definitely not kid-appropriate (pissin' on your steps!)

And you should really investigate more of that first Latifah album, esp. "Dance For Me"

I use spotify on my phone as well as at home so I decided to subscribe - figured it was worth the price of a CD per month.

Seem to recall some MTV piece where they accompanied ODB to the welfare office and asked him if he felt bad claiming benefits when he was in a pretty successful group. His answer was along the lines of "FREE MONEY!"
