Learning From Each Other - Part 1
When we chose Jaime as our exchange student - his profile stated, "I'm a B-C student. I like hanging out with friends, rap music, and eating cheeseburgers."
Immediately, I was like, he's the kid for us!
He's been so fun, and he LOVES his rap music - just like me. He likes to follow the hip hop culture - just like me. So I was schooling him on American rap, and this kid did not know who Dr. Dre was. Dr - mother fucking - Dre. I was appalled. I wanted to cry for him. If you don't know Dre, you most like don't know NWA, Kendrick, Eminem, Snoop, Pac, etc, etc.
So I tried to introduce him to old school hip hop, and he wasn't too interested. Yesterday, Friday, as he came out of his room ready for school, the kid is wearing a COMPTON sweatshirt. 🤦♀️
How do you wear a COMPTON sweatshirt and not know about the Godfathers of gangsta rap music? So once again, I'm just an old lady, so he ignores my intentions of trying to school him on rap music.
He gets home from school and says, "I want to watch Straight Out of Compton." A girl at my school told me to watch it because of my sweatshirt. I wanted to slap him along side the head because ooooh, now he's interested LOL.
So I pull my Bluray copy of Straight Out of Compton and of course, he loved it. And now, to my great delight, he knows who Dr Dre, Eazy E, and Ice Cube are.
