Great CD, note the parental advisory sticker
This CD is not for those below their middle teens. Other than that, it's a great CD. Elliott shows her producing talent well, as well as her dynamic rapping skills. There are some iffy songs the CD could do without. There is the usual amount of sexual content (including an entire song devoted to it) and harsh language, but it's the usually Missy fare so those who have previous CDs by her will be unphased.

it may be called the cookbook, but its recipes are anti-kid-oriented
The sexual happy-go-fun-land-time in the music world, full of gleefully salty language, endless product placement, several drug references, you name it! Maybe not Missy's spiciest album (big shocker), but definitely not one aimed for kids. "We Run This" may not be as spicy as other songs like "She's a B--ch", or "Get Ur Freak On", but it's definitely spicy on its own level.

SHE DID IT AGAIN!
MISSY ELLIOT IS A WONDERFUL ARTIST. SHE IS CONSTANTLY BRINGING OUT FRESH NEW MUSIC FOR HIP HOP LISTENERS. MISSY HAS A WILD BUT MANNERABLE WAY OF EXPRESSING HER SELF. SHE ALWAYS HAS WONDERFUL MUSIC!!!

OK for kids over 11
It shouldn't get that rating because its not THAT BAD. You can't understand half of what she's saying any way.

Incredible
This Cd is not to be missed by anyone. If your kids are asking for it, buy the edited version. It is done alot better than other edited music. However the edited version does not edit alot out and there is still some sexual innuendo and bad language. In terms of the uncensored album, there is very strong language, more sexual content than 50 Cent and R.Kelly together. There are also some descriptions of violence and drug content. But that does not stop it at any costs from being one of the best albums released this year.
