Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–15

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The old double standard is alive and well in Nick Cannon's world.

  • Violence:

    Mostly "love" songs here.

  • Sex:

    Stops short of explicit, with loads of innuendo.

  • Language:

    Some "I used to be a child star but I'm grown up now" posturing.

  • Consumerism:

    Several brand name references and internet tie-in promotions.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Love is the drug.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Nick Cannon

Parents need to know that macho posturing is balanced with surprising moments of sentimental tenderness. This is "hip-hop lite." There are a few vividly sexist and sexual images, but nothing really explicit.
