The Hip-Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection Breaks the Retail Color Barrier

Top Quote A major east coast retailer decided that The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection was a project that it’s target audience would reject because African Americans prefer music with gangster and thug references rather than profanity free and uplifiting tunes even for their children! End Quote
  • (1888PressRelease) September 18, 2008 - (Washington D.C.) – Despite some resistance and a major retailer stating that The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection was a project that it’s target audience would reject because profanity free hip hop music is not hip enough, and that minorities prefer gangster rap to wholesome entertainment for their children, the CD collection is flying off the shelves for the stores that are carrying it.

    The Hip-Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection is a refreshing spin on the old favorites. There is no profanity whatsoever. The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection crosses color lines and makes hip-hop accessible to children and families of any race. While initially stung by the words of the buyer from a major east coast retailer, we took the rejection as an opportunity. We have the opportunity to educate today’s parent by sharing with them the idea that everything has a place, even hip-hop.

    Many of today’s parents grew up on hip hop and would love to share real hip hop with their kids, but it is a mistake to assume that ethnic minorities prefer to feed their children violent or negative images, or glorify gang and thug life. Until now, parents have been limited as to choices of entertaining music that didn’t treat children as less than. The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection is family friendly and lends itself well to individual expression through dance or even group fun such as musical chairs or hot potato.

    The reviews for The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection have been spectacular! Here are just a few:

    A to Z Kid’s Stuff (http://www.atozkidsstuff.com): “A great blending of voices, dance-worthy beats with fun lyrics. A cool CD for children to enjoy the nursery rhymes we all cherish.”

    Kid’s Music That Rocks (http://kidsmusicthatrocks.blogspot.com):”Oldies like "Humpty Dumpty," "Old King Cole," "B-I-N-G-O," and "There Was an Old Lady" are given a funky fresh makeover.”

    If your local music chain does not carry The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection, demand to see the store manager and ask him/her why they don’t. Aren’t your children (and your business) important enough for them to carry wholesome, family friendly entertainment that was produced with YOU in mind?

    About The New Nursery Rhymes Collection:

    The New Nursery Rhymes series is an assemblage of the nursery rhymes that we all cherish set to some of the best, original popular music available anywhere. The first installment of the series is “The Hip Hop Nursery Rhymes Collection”. Future releases include "The Country Nursery Rhymes Collection" (scheduled for release this summer) and "The Reggae Nursery Rhymes Collection". Other genres are in the works, but each volume will be completely profanity free.

    In recent years, popular music has, become increasingly adult in nature. The mature lyrics and messages are not appropriate for younger listeners. Consequently, there is a void in the marketplace for those adults who wish to enjoy and share quality popular music with the children that they love. We believe that this series will be quite popular, especially with those who grew up with certain genres of popular music as a part of their daily lives and who are now parents themselves.
