3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing, June 23, 2005
By 
This review is from: The Presidents' Rap CD - NEW VERSION - (incl George W. Bush) (Audio CD)

The concept is a great idea, but the result...not so great.

The songs are not in the genre of the presidents' eras as one review mentioned (in a review of the cd and book version). There is one march, and most of the rest are attempts at a very white man rapping. His rapping is much better than his singing I'm sad to report. I think a variety of vocalists would have gone a long way to improve this item. Also, I am not opposed to rap music, just bad rap music...if you do not approve of this genre, you would probably want to stay clear of a CD with RAP in the title. The music is not harsh, just not great that's all.

However, there is a lot of information within the songs and they are mostly accurate. Many of the songs are WAY too long to be considered catchy, but a few of them are decent. One of my daughters really enjoys reading the words along with the music so this version with the book is great for her.

I would be leary of who I recommend this to, and thoughtful of the purpose. This is not going to win any musical awards, but as a unique teaching tool, it can be effective. I would probably not play this to a group of children who listen to real rap music as they would not get past laughing at this attempt -- maybe give them the book and let them rap it (that could be fun). It does have its uses though, and is thorough.

If you are learning about the presidents and want to expose your children to music of that era you'll need to buy a couple of different CD's, there are many albums available for colonial, revolutionary, civil war, and civil rights, and WWII periods. Another unique option is the CD "Presidential Campaign Songs 1789-1996" that I found here at Amazon. At least you can listen to samples of it before choosing to buy...which they should have done for this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great History CD, June 25, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Presidents' Rap CD - NEW VERSION - (incl George W. Bush) (Audio CD)
My kids and I have really enjoyed the catchy tunes on this cd and have found ourselves waking up humming them. There's a lot of information packed in a truly entertaining format. Great for summer road trips!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not even worth listening to, November 22, 2008

This review is from: The Presidents' Rap CD - NEW VERSION - (incl George W. Bush) (Audio CD)
Not good music. Not catchy. Think of saying the presidents' names with rap music (not even very good rap music) in the background.
