Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Obviously, lots of champion talk, being the best, fighting for your dreams; one song about being "perfect" has some unrealistic expectations and another talks about being competitive.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    One line in "Warrior" says "bangin' them like rival hoods."

  • Sex:

    "Hold me now so we can feel alive tonight" is as bad as it gets.

  • Language:

    "Sh-t" is bleeped out of Flypside's "Champion." One song is in Spanish.

  • Consumerism:

    Cadillac and Chevy are mentioned once. Although the album promotes AT&T, all proceeds from the album sales are being donated to Team USA.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
