Why We Rated This on for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The artist makes a point of being squeaky-clean.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Will "uses his words" instead of his fists.
  • Sex:

    Sexual innuendo is so mild and clever that it will go over most kids' heads.
  • Language:

    Nothing offensive.
  • Consumerism:

    The VW Jetta is inexplicably mentioned more than once.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Nothing obvious.

    he pretends this is his game, but the truth is that newer rappers have taken over. his time is over, and its time for him to stop trying to reclaim it.
