Gimme a Beat: Hip-Hop for Preschoolers

hip hop kidsEntrepreneurial mom Candi Carter noticed that her son loved rhythmic music so much that she decided to create a beat-heavy video called It's Hip Hop, Baby to get her kid (and your kid) moving.

After scouring the market for "cutting edge" musical DVDs she found nothing that she liked so she went out and did it herself. It's Hip Hip, Baby contains a mix of kid classics and original songs.  Even though Carter says she is more of a Pat Benetar and Foreigner fan (rawk!), she felt that hip hop music had broader appeal to kids.

On the next CD, crunk kings Lil Jon and the Eastside Boys teach your kids how not to "Act a Fool," Akon reworks his ode to strippers "I Wanna Love You" into a lullabye, and Ciara teaches kids the "1, 2 Step." (Um, which my kids already know. *Hangs head.*)

It's Hip Hop, Baby is available on Amazon.com.
