Top 10 Most Inappropriate Music Artists for Kids

These are the music artists you should NEVER, EVER let your kids listen to. Whenever the media tells you that Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj are appropriate for your kids, DON'T BELIEVE IT. I'm telling the truth. Don't even think about showing these people to your kids. You'll ruin their lives if you do.
The Top Ten
1 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang".

Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably... read more

Those two girls singing one of her songs on Ellen just made me speechless. Like, I was so shocked to see this happening. And people thought this was cute?!

Kids should NOT be listening to Nicki Minaj! She talks about sex, twerking, making it rain in the strip club, all of it. If you believe that crap the media tells you you're just as sick as this whole generation.

Wake up america! Wake the crap up! Get back to concerning about what your kids watch and listen to, and stop saying that artists like this are the most appropriate for your kids!

True and she was twerking in the song well music video mostly "Anaconda" and offensive to Anacondas (The snakes). Even her face has gone ugly. She says cuss words in EVERY single song. And America should never made a crossover with Jessie J., Ariana Grande, and HER singing in a TRIO. She should have been made for AGES 13 or MORE...

She's all fake. I mean, she plastic surgery EVERYWHERE! And those little girls on Ellen a while back thought she was a idol. Like, why aren't their parents saying, " Don't sing or listen to this song. It's a bad song for little girls like you. " What the heck?!?! ):<

2 Cannibal Corpse Cannibal Corpse is a American death metal band from Buffalo, New York, formed in 1988. The band is known for their graphic album covers, explicitly violent lyrics and song titles like "I C** Blood" The group got into mainstream after performing the song "Hammer Smashed Face" in the 1994 film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In 1995, vocalist Chris Barnes left the band to focus on his new death metal project... read more

Really huh? You're gonna let your kid listen to a band like this? Haven't you checked out the names of their songs, which are Hammer Smashed Face, NecroPedophile, Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's C, Meat Hook Sodomy, Born in a Casket, I C Blood, Stripped, Raped and Strangled, and Fed with a Knife?

I can't believe this isn't at the top of the list. They are a great band, but NOT appropriate for kids. The only thing they sing about is torture, suicide, necropilia, pedphilia, dismemberment, mutilation, chewing on gore, more violence, etc. At the top of the list I see Nicky Minaj rated #1 worst for twerking...

Look at their song titles. They are definitely not a kid-friendly band, hell I'm a teenager and their songs disgust me. No one under the age of 17 should be listening to them.

3 A*** C***

This band sings about very offensive subjects such as child abuse, kicking a pregnant woman's stomach, and they say very vulgar language (the song title "Your A F... Ing C...") NOT FOR KIDS. although it is codemy it is not for kids and kids should not be listening to this stuff!

Just by looking at the name you know that it's certainly not recommended for kids

His name sounds very inappropriate and so are his songs as well many of them

4 2 Live Crew The 2 Live Crew was an American hip-hop group from Miami, Florida. They caused considerable controversy with the sexual themes in their work, particularly on their 1989 album As Nasty As They Wanna Be.

For obvious reasons. They have sexual themes in their work. Especially their third album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be.

Me So Horny. That's all I've gotta say.

5 6ix9ine Daniel Hernandez, known by his stage name 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi69 or simply Tekashi, is an American rapper. He is mostly known for his legal issues, particularly his sexual crimes.

In 2015, Hernandez pleaded guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance. However, he denied having any sexual contact with the girl. On February 1, 2019, he pleaded guilty to charges... read more

Any parent who lets their kid listen to this monster has failed at parenting.

This guy is everything that's wrong with music.

Swears a lot, many of his music videos (I.e, GOOBA) have women twerking, and one of his music videos is even age-restricted on youtube (GUMMO).

6 Lil Wayne Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own label, Young Money, where he would sign popular artists such as Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga, and he... read more

Hell, some of Lil Wayne's lyrics are too inappropriate for middle aged adults!

Hell Lil Wayne is one of the worst rappers in existence. Period!

7 NWA

How in the actual world is Nicki Minaj worse than this Rag-Tag gang of rap criminals. That's just wrong. They swear all the time in their songs. Nicki just sometimes.

How is Nicki Minaj worse than F the police, Straight outta Compton, Boyz N the hood, etc.?

8 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves. She became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006. After that... read more

She twerked on Robin Thicke... but he told her to, also told her to strip onstage. Jamie Foxx told her to have a sex tape. Billy Ray Cyrus was MAD.

Early Miley is alright for kids, especially with her massive PG hit Party in the USA. However, since 2013, her career has derailed. Twerking is a part of her gig, and does a lot of NSFW things.

Very inappropriate and actually got arrested for a day because she twerked with the Canadian Flag. Don't listen to her.

9 Too $hort

Don't find him to bad for kids but still is kinda.

He has a lot of songs about sex

10 Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band, that was formed 1999 in California. Their longest lineup of members was M. Shadows (Vocals), Synyster Gates (Lead Guitar), Zacky Vengeance (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Christ (Bass Guitar), and The Rev (Drums).

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (Drums), their most notable drummer, passed away in 2009, being temporarily replaced by Mike Portnoy, who was replaced... read more

What is this band doing on this lists? They are a great band! Their lyrics are meaningful and actually talk about real subjects people deal with and not fantacized sex broadcasted by today's pop artist. Anyone who still believes that rock musicians are a bad influence on kids is a blind parent who beleives nothing more than old stereotypes that have been proven wrong. Nicki Minaj, Myley Cyrus and others cuss as much and more than avenged Sevenfold. Science has proven that listening to aggressive music helps suicidal teens cope with these feelings. Rock music will live on forever and so will its stereotypes.

I advise parents to keep them out of reach of children under the age of 12. Sure they are good songwriters, but there are cuss words. They aren't nearly as bad as Eminem or Nicki Manaj but still. There are however quite a few songs without them, just be careful.

The Contenders

I agree but there's one song by Eminem that I listen to, it's called Lose Yourself and you should really listen to it!

Whats wrong with Eminem I listened to him I was a little kid

Eminem and D12 are not for kids as he swears and curses a lot

Look him up and you'll agree that he deserves to be on this list permanently.

13 The Geto Boys
14 The Notorious B.I.G. Christopher George Latore Wallace, born May 21, 1972, better known by his stage name The Notorious B.I.G (sometimes Biggie Smalls or just simply Biggie), is an American rapper from Brooklyn, New York.

15 Marilyn Manson Brian Hugh Warner, better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American musician, songwriter, actor, painter, multimedia artist, author, and former music journalist.

Creepy looking, horrifying music videos and on live. Recommend for young adults

I'm almost 13 and I proudly listen to Marilyn Manson on a daily

I'm a preteen and I listen to him.

17 cupcakKe Elizabeth Eden Harris, better known by her stage name, cupcakKe, is a rapper, singer, and songwriter. She was born on May 31, 1997 in Chicago, United States. Although she is best known for her sexually explicit lyrics, cupcakKe was raised in a church and is still a devout Christian.

Best rapper since rap was invented. Regardless of her sexualised nature, she is feministic and her lyrics are often about being confident with the self, and are pro-homosexuality. She is an all rounded person and is my favourite rapper and favourite celebrity. But young children, stay in school.

The only words in her vocabulary are cuss and sexual words. If you want to make a clean version of this song, then you might as well not because you'd have to censor everything.

Her songs aren't even good.

18 Plies Algernod Lanier Washington, better known by his stage name Plies, is an American rapper. He is known for his singles such as "Shawty", "Hypnotized", and "Bust It Baby." Unlike his sing-songy singles, Plies' albums mostly contain realistic material about the street life and trying to survive. His first album, "The Real Testament", was released in 2007, followed a year later by two more albums, "Definition of Real" and "Da REAList", respectively. He released his fourth album, "Goon Affiliated", two years later in 2010, containing the dirty rap single "Becky." Since then, Plies has not released another album, and he has been releasing mixtapes instead.

Just look at his song titles

He was best known for his graphic live performances which included self-mutilation, parading around the stage naked, fighting with members of his audience, and even eating his own feces.

The guy wrote songs about raping children and he's only #15 on the list!?

Horrifying. No one, not even an adult should be listening to this freak.

Right Kelly Clarkson is obviously more inappropriate than this guy.

21 Korn Korn is an American nu-metal band from Bakersfield, California, formed in 1993.

Korn was originally formed by three of the members of the band L.A.P.D... read more

I think kids should still know about them. Just don't let them listen to their music.

I'd say they're fine for teens to listen to, but kids...nope. Their music would give them nightmares.

Proud preteen and listener of them.

22 Three 6 Mafia Three 6 Mafia is an American hip hop group from Memphis, Tennessee, signed to Columbia Records. The group was formed by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, and Juicy J in 1991 and was at first known as Triple 6 Mafia.

Do NOT get me started about their lyrics. Especially in "Slob On My Nob", "Lick My Nuts", and "Long And Hard".

23 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

I wouldn't call an artist that promotes property damage and violence to be appropriate for children.

A good Christian girl that advocates murdering a guy that does them wrong. Stay classy

24 Infant Annihilator Infant Annihilator are an English/American deathcore band based in Hull, East Yorkshire. The band was formed in 2012 by drummer Aaron Kitcher and guitarist Eddie Pickard.

I mean I would imagine the title gives it away somewhat. Edit actually maybe it was hypocritical for me to add this?

25 Webbie Webster Gradney, Jr., born September 6, 1985, is an American rapper and actor from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He's been signed to the independent Trill Entertainment label since 2003. Before releasing his first solo album Savage Life in 2005, he would release two collaboration albums with Lil Boosie, Ghetto Stories and Gangsta Muzik.

Webbie would continue his Savage Life series, so far releasing 5 installments to date.

Yeah, don't let your kids listen to this guy, or else they'll be "a bit messed up in the head",...like me...

How is Justin Bieber higher than Webbie?
