    All over the map: sexually predatory on some tracks, family-man sweetness on others.

    Sexual innuendo; some explicit language.

    Some four-letter words that will be offensive to many parents.

    Not As Bad As Previous Outkast Releases

    This CD could be handled by a teenager. It's not quite as bad as their previous releases. There is profanity, but not that much compared to other rap CDs. There is also sex, but not near as much as other rap CDs. I was surprised by the small amount of that in this CD. There is violent imagry, but who really cares about that? It's ok, but Speakerboxxx / The Love Below is better.
