There is nothing wrong with this song, Granted it does use the 's' word 5 times in a 4 minute song, but anyone who thinks there is ANYTHING else wrong with the song needs to seriously read the lyrics. And read between the lines to all the references to early 80's music.

What Parents Need to Know
About "Boom Boom Pow" (CD single)
Parents need to know that, aside from the word s--t appearing throughout the song, the lyrics to this tune are fairly innocuous overall. The sex and partying themes that pervaded the group's last record have been replaced by some light bravado that lacks the seriously aggressive tone of many other hip-hop songs.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what's really behind bragging. When someone talks about how great they are, could they actually be covering up insecurity? Do the actions of truly exceptional people speak louder than their words?

SWEAR ATTACK
this song has lots of swears you don't want your younger kids listening to. But still it's an ok song and is ON for all kids (exsept ones thats say swers a lot) 11 and up.

Not if you're immature in swearing wise
despite the word sh**t used a bit, unless you look at the lyrics or buy the CD version you can't hear it. Most of the time, it is bleeped out by the dj, or some other sound effect
