Math facts have been set to a rap music beat. "2 times 1 is 2, 2 times
2 is 4" (but it's much more fun to listen to the actual song). My 4yo
son has actually requested that we play such a CD, after he heard it
the first time. You can Google "multiplication table rap music".


Rap is not music and children should not be exposed to it in any capacity.




That is an interesting standpoint. That reminds me of the older generation
discarding rock when it first appearred, though rap has been around too long
to say it has just appeared. There are a lot of crap rap artists. But there
are some good ones too. Music is a living thing. And cannot stand still.
