As if there aren't enough bad influences around in the world of show biz today, each and every rap and hip-hop artist thinks they need to add their own degradations to the mix. When they're not talking about their women, they're usually telling off cops, teachers, parents, and the like with any number of expletives. That's nothing new. But there are a number of popular songs out now that don't contain any bad language to pound into your head (or the heads of your children). And while the content of some of the songs themselves aren't inherently pure, at least you can take comfort in a few of them being expletive-free.

Elevator

This catchy Flo Rida hit is devoid of bad language and most negative female remarks. While still a little suggestive in the overall content, this song is acceptable for most listeners.

Homecoming

Kanye West isn't necessarily known for producing wonderfully clean music (think "Good Life" and the undertones of "Stronger") but perhaps Chris Martin of Coldplay decided he didn't want to help Kanye out on a viciously language-ridden track. And so the collaboration between Kanye and Chris can be considered safe for all ages, as most of the content isn't all that suggestive.

The Way I Are

This song is just plain risqué. But, it's snappy, groovy, and doesn't contain cuss words, which is a rarity considering the featured artist D.O.E. (Timbaland and Keri Hilson fill up the rest of the track). The way the content is introduced doesn't necessarily lend itself to the most sleazy of styles, so the discretion is up to you.

Kiss Kiss

Chris Brown is sort of the nice-guy hip hop artist. His sweet demeanor and convincing looks have wrapped themselves around the hearts of many young females recently. His hits are seem to reflect this somewhat. But then comes T-Pain with his barrage of rap background vocals. Surprisingly, he doesn't cuss in them. And while the inflections of cat calling seem to be ripe in this song, it's still safer for teens' ears than most.

the first paragraph is a blanket statement about Hip Hop, and these song selections are misrepresenative to the genre. Im not sure Chris Brown can be considered Hip Hop. Your forgetting many artists with non explicit songs such as Common, KRS-ONE and GZA.

Most people know that rap comes in all genres, including religious tunes, and is global as well. It's always nice to focus more media attention on those rap alternatives that are not offensive. Keep up the good work!
