I got 99 lullabies and rap ain't one
Someone needs to stop Q Records now before they kill someone’s baby.
I’ve seen lullaby collections of, how shall we say, un-childlike material before. Metallica, Tool and Nirvana from the “Rockabye Baby” series spring to mind. But the “Baby Love Lullaby” series from Q Records takes the cake. They’re doing hip-hop artists as well as other genres, so now children can be sent into sweet, sweet slumber to new age-reductionist versions of tunes like “P.I.M.P” (from the 50 Cent collection), “Kill You” (Eminem) and “Jigga That Nigga” (Jay-Z).
The music doesn’t sound anything like the originals, and they’re all instrumental to remove any hint of incivility and black culture. There are strings and synth washes and flutes…it’s all very Arkenstone if he were hit with a 2x4, then forced to sit at a harp and strum for his life.
Oh yeah, and the baby on the cover of the 50 Cent collection sporting a Kevlar vest in diapers? Nice.
