When you think of hip-hop dads, you probably don't immediately consider them to be "Parent of the Year." But you'd be surprised how these hard-edged rappers aren't afraid to get all sensitive on us when it comes to their kin. Although you might not know it, many lyricists have focused songs on their children to show just how much they love them. For this Father's Day, here's a list of some rappin' pappies that deserve to be highlighted for their outstanding parenting skillz.
Will Smith
It's hard to believe that Will started out as a rapper long before he made his acting debut on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he's no stranger to rocking the mic. In 1997, Will got all sensitive on us with the release of the smash single "Just the Two of Us," a heartfelt tribute to his son Trey whose video featured the two hanging out on the set. Almost ten years later, Smith starred in The Pursuit of Happyness with one of his other sons Jaden, and though he's yet to record another tribute to one of his kids, he has sealed the deal in being one of the coolest dads in the rap industry.
