Why We Rated This not for kids

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    acist words, sexist sentiment -- it's all so over-the-top that it almost sounds like a parody.

  • Violence:

    Enough violence to notice.

  • Sex:

    Lots of explicit sex.

  • Language:

    Lots of explicit language.

  • Consumerism:

    Nothing obvious.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Plenty.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Split Personality

Parents need to know that macho posturing, offensive language, racism, sexism -- it's all here in such self-referential abundance that the CD comes off sounding more like a Saturday Night Live parody than a serious musical effort. Let's hope that Cassidy doesn't really take himself this seriously.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 3.0

    When I heard this album I felt like throwing a party

    I thought his whole album was cool and I felt like partying to some of his songs. And he featured some singers that made the album better like R.Kelly.
