Why We Rated This not for kids

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Not great role models for kids.

  • Violence:

    Though not necessarily graphic, it's present, if not draped in hip-hop terminology.

  • Sex:

    Everywhere. Larry Flynt probably wouldn't go this far.

  • Language:

    Very explicit.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some mentions. A lot of partying going on here.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About United State of Atlanta

Parents need to know that there's a lot of profanity here -- so much that it's really impossible to recommend to anyone under 17. There's also lots of sex banter, violent imagery, "N" words, etc.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about cultural meaning in some of the songs. It's not all parties and sex. For example, "We At War" is about a poor black soldier going overseas to fight. There's also some good description of feelings and isolation in "23 Hr. Lock Down," which details solitary confinement. These are viewpoints not always considered in teens' day-to-day lives, and definitely worth discussing.

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 1.0

    I don't even own the album

    Wow. Wow. I listened to a clip of a couple of the songs on this album, and they go beyond perversion. The lyrics are disgusting. I listened to the clean version of a song and it is insane. And, not even the worst song on the album. Ouch
