Whenever your folks try to nag you about anything, and I mean ANYTHING you do, show them this photoset and walk away.

James Brown is your big homie.

While your dad is making Facebook videos ridiculing you for wanting to wear a romper, casually post screenshots of that 1974 Sears Spring/Summer catalogue spread he did when he needed money for school. Post them directly to his feed.

Whenever your dad tries to ridicule you for your “Cash Me Ousside” routine videos, remind him this is how him and his boys used to get down. Stay reminding him.

No matter what your dad says, he was Young Thug’s style icon.

Your mom wrote the book on unapologetically raunchy female sexuality. We all owe her our thanks.

[yourdadwasrad]

Your dad taught a master class on what it mean to slay. He will be missed.

[yourdadwasrad]

Your dad’s sitting on the couch complaining about how feminine today’s male rappers are because he didn’t expect you to find the HQ RARE VIDEO!!!!! of him rapping in a turban and red leather pants.

[yourdadwasrad]

When you think you invented the thighbrow but your mom hits you with that hol’ on a minute

[yourdadwasrad]

When your dad tries to get on your case about the music you listen to being too sexual, remind him of when he tried to be a (poorly rendered) Prince clone.
