Why We Rated This not for kids

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Sexism, self-absorption, bragging about money, describing woman in terms of liquor.
  • Violence:

    Some references to violence: "I got guns for the snitches/roses for the bitches," "two magnums in my hand, "it was fly just like my glock."
  • Sex:

    Lots of sexual innuendo and sex talk: "had to fold her like a pornography poster," "You can hear us in the bathroom," "Legs like calamari/looks so tasty," "I wanna get you so fresh," "Work the pole, I got the bank roll," "I'm f--kin' like a rabbit smokin' on lettuce."
  • Language:

    Very strong language: "s--t", "f--k", "bitch", "ass", the "N" word, "p---y."
  • Consumerism:

    Gucci, Dolce & Gabana, Ferrari, Bacardi, Reebok, Cadillac, Patron, and more.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    "Ms. Hangover" describes woman in terms of top-shelf liquor: "Grey Goose on her lips and cognac thighs." Other references: "too drunk to drive" and "Patron on the rocks that'll make you moan."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Mail on Sunday

Parents need to know there is some strong language, lots of sexual innuendo and sex talk, and much boasting about money and women on this album. Kids who saw Step Up 2: The Streets, will already know the uber-hit single, "Low." There's a clean, amended version of this CD available, too.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the fact that so many artists are featured on or have contributed to Mail on Sundays. Is it necessary for one artist to have so many "guests" on his/her album? Does it make an album more marketable or successful if several artists, especially big name ones, appear in the songs?

    Horrible message

    Horrible message... horrible. He has no respect for a wonman or her body. Low is kinda bad, as he says, so sexual she was flexible, proffesional. and roses for the b******. terrible. What is the world coming too.

    The N word

    Being balck i know a lot about the N word. If i am talking to some guys on my football the N word is a name, like yo wat up N. but when a non black says it has a whole different meaning. when a white person says it is one of the most offensive words. the word varries with perspective. Last time I checked flo rida was black and I think he has the right to say.

  5. Kid Reviewer Age 11
    I rate this title on for age 13 and give it 4.0

    I kind of like it.

    At dance that is our hip-hop song (In the Ayer)and a 7 year old has to listen to it. Most kids are from age 10-16 in the class. I also like Low, but it doesn't give a positive attitude with bad language. I love it but the lyrics are bad. Kids
