What Parents Need to Know

About Jackpot

Parents need to know that the CD is sexist and the profanity is excessive (the edited version is done clumsily, leaving no doubt as to what words have been left out). But the worst thing about this CD is that it is mind-numbingly boring, a really good one to skip. The performances are so-so and the writing ranges from lackluster to just plain bad -- your teens won't have a hard time finding better rap.

    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 2.0

    Wish I'd saved my money for something else

    This was OK, but not great. Some songs are pointless and dumb. I wanted it because a friend said it was good, but when I played it I was disappointed. The songs get old quick.
