What Parents Need to Know

About Tasty

Parents need to know that this is not for young teens. Though the "Milkshake" song is really popular with middle school kids, they may not even understand the reference.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 2.0

    Just not worth it...

    Although I didn't find this CD "offensive" (and I'm a girl) I just really didn't find anything about it very appealing. Kelis obviously has a sexual addiction problem and I don't want to hear her ramble about it for an entire album. There's better stuff out there (like Nickelback)...just move on.

    TASTY- Kelis

    Kelis is one of my favorite artists even with her obvious favorite thing- sex. Kids that aren't mature should know not to buy this and parents are rock dumb if they don't know what a milkshake is "My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard" duh breasts! Its not for young children!

    And people think MY music is aweful?

    This CD was so awful. Bad lyrics, boring, all about sex, and really offensive to girls. I am not a girl but I still found this CD as junk. People think my music is bad and degenerate but you don't hear the Alkaline Trio, Ramones, Vandals, Anti-Flag, Social Distortion, Bad Religion or Softball being dirty and being that super offensive.
