Why We Rated This not for kids

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Violence, sex, drugs, sexism, racism-this CD has it all!

  • Violence:

    Hey, guess what? There's lots of violence, too.

  • Sex:

    Many sexual references-in most of the songs on the CD.

  • Language:

    Too many instances of the "s" word, the "f" word, and the "n" word (not to mention the phrase "They call me Diddy," which gets old fast) to count.

  • Consumerism:

    Sean "P. Diddy" Combs's first release in association with Universal is a blatantly commercial venture, with movie sound bytes (and very pretty pictures of Will Smith) throughout.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    "Great dope" is gleefully celebrated in "Smoking the la la la la;" "Smoking weed" in "Realest N *GGAS."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Bad Boys II Soundtrack

Parents need to know that young fans of the movie are going to want this CD, and the sex/drug/violence factor is over the top to the point that it almost works as self-parody. But the real problem is that musically, except for a couple of songs, it's just not that good. Buy the "Shake Ya Tailfeather" single and move on.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about if it's actually possible to have too much going on musically. With all the talent on this CD, does it feel like there's just too much to digest?
