What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this album touches on several gown-up subjects such as immigration, urban violence, prostitution, and war, but does so with maturity and intelligence. The lyrics never tread into the obscene or vulgar realm.
Violence:
Some reference to urban violence, drive-by shootings, war, but nothing explicit.
Sex:
Some sexual content: "sniffing a bone/for the right guy she'd go deeper than a baritone" and references to prostitution: "closed legs don't get fed/go out there and make my bread."
Language:
No explicit curse words or vulgar language; occasional reference to prostitution ("pimps," "turning tricks").
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Nothing explicit; one reference to "pass me a cold drink."

Amazing album
This is depressing to me that this site can put this album down at all. Wyclef is an amazing humanitarian and obvious christian who just tries to help people. all bad things you said about him in the review were things he was also condeming. for the sex part, he was saying how sad it was a woman would do that and how hard and cruel pimps are. War and violence are a fact of life so how could he not mention it when talking about big issues witht the world? Pimps and turning tricks are words to describe something. not a swear word at all just waht they are. I am extrememly dissapointed in common sense's review and have lost all credibility for the site. Now i'll go listen to T.I. and Young Jeezy to see if they are as bad as you say they are.
