Hip Hop Multiplication: Do We Need A Parental Advisory?

Are these Hip Hop multiplication videos being used in your school, perhaps without your knowledge? Now I know that some of you will say, "They're harmless. They just teach the kids using the music they listen to anyway."

Well, according to my own personal poll of my students, this isn't the music they all listen to anyway - at least not anymore. I am pleased to say that I have not one student in my class who "sags" (wears pants hanging off their rear end), and most no longer listen to Hip Hop music. My male students no longer have the one and only aspiration of becoming a Rapper, basketball player, or football player. They want to become doctors, lawyers, biologists, and business owners.

It's not so much the background music that I object to; it is more the images of the angry-looking artists who wrote the music. Many of these artists made their millions by glorifying the gangster lifestyle that has so many of our youth now sitting in prison. From the comments I read on Youtube, this product is being used in classrooms across America, and the multiplication tables are taught as early as second grade.

I don't own the actual CD/DVD, so I would like to know from any of you who do own it whether these same images appear on the cover of the CD or are in the DVD. Do these videos need a real "Parental Advisory"? What do you think?
