Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–14

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    There are some sexist lyrics, some questionably racist ones, too.
  • Violence:

    Some references to gang violence.
  • Sex:

    There's some explicit sexuality on a few of the songs in this compilation, including Outkast's "The Way You Move".
  • Language:

    There's a sprinkling of offensive words.
  • Consumerism:

    The whole CD is a TV tie-in.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    A few drinking and drug references.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About 2004 Grammy Nominees

Parents need to know that because it's a compilation of Grammy-nominated songs, this CD has no cohesive theme. Some of the songs are explicitly sexual, for example; others are sweet and sentimental. The only common ground is that they're all familiar hits, which may defuse the shock value of those songs with stronger lyrics. Bottom line: Parents may want to do a bit of editing for younger kids.
