parents just don't understand (or do they?)

we know Charlie's parents are down... but... most aren't, right?

when i was a kid, my bedroom door was covered in clippings/photos from the source. my pops was not a fan of my bedroom door for this reason. but he let it slide.

i also had a friend who was a graf writer... who i had come over one day and do a full mural on one of my bedroom walls. pops let it (barely) slide. in fact, i'm pretty sure he ordered me to paint it back to normal... but then forgot about it/gave up.

i then saved up a bunch of money from afterschool jobs to furnish my bedroom with a sound system that rivals what some small clubs had. pops even helped with that, building two subwoofer enclosures for me. to this day, i'm still baffled by that.

but for the most part, i think pops was just being cool because he thought rap was going to go away. or at least go away from within me. and he definitely had his fair share of complaints about it all. but he was cool, compared to what some of you whipper snappers had to deal with.

in fact, just a couple weeks ago, and he had me put on "it was a good day" in the truck. "i havent heard this in forever". hah.

so today's Wex Wednesdays topic: top rap-music-related things parents complained about when you were a kid. was it the bass, the curse words, the attitude, etc etc

you make the list this time. comment section, go.
