What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Sexist and exploitive lyrics. A lot of talk glorifying the thug life.

    Some strong violent images: "Armed and dangerous, ain't too many can bang with us."
  • Sex:

    Some very strong sexual images: "I need u to grind like Ur working for tips" and "And I don't stop, until I squirt/Jeans skirt butt-naked it all work."
  • Language:

    A ton of swear words.
  • Consumerism:

    Many brands -- from alcohol to cars -- are mentioned.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    References to weed and harder stuff. Alcohol is mentioned a lot.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Duets: The Final Chapter

Parents need to know that Notorious B.I.G. actually died more than 10 years ago (in other words, don't embarrass yourself by offering to buy concert tickets). Also, the cleverly edited duets include a lot of strong language. The unedited version has lots of sex, drugs, violence, etc.

    I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it 4.0

    Review For G-Ida's Better Stuff

    This young rapper delivers a pretty amusing performance. It's too bad that it only had 4 tracks. Violence is not to bad. Though Lil Nic does rap "Took the gun out the back pocket. Bang! He Got It Right In The Eye Socket". Sex wise a few playful references appear but nothing strong. As far as Language Goes the occasional f--k, s--t and bitch. Most of these words are used by his guests. What they did was make no explicit or clean. The only version sold is edited.
