What's a "rap ****?" Is that like a Hip Hop Dump?

+1 to what ROS said. You can't choose your relatives, and your family generally won't be held against you...
...provided you have taken measurable steps to distance yourself from any criminal behavior, and have never engaged in any. Also, that you do not actively associate with known criminals (related or not).Click HERE for a common sense tutorial on posting at RealPolice.net.

Personal experience: My sister was heavy into drugs and God knows what else. My mother was also a drug addict and alcoholic.
So just like the others said, what your family does won't be held against you as long as you keep your nose clean.
Actual conversation with suspect
Suspect: Why am I under arrest?
Me: For posession of CDS.
Suspect: Man, it wasn't CDS! It was E pills!
