I try to introduce my three year old to lots of different music. I play her Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Kurtis Blow. She memorizes lyrics quickly so I really try to avoid stuff with lots colorful language.

Your list seems very modern and has a lot of autobiographical rappers at least to someone my age who has listened to more old school hip hop. Not that rap wasn't always autobiographical, but people like Kanye and Childish Bambino really push a more thoughtful brand of biography than say a guy like Slick Rick.
