What Parents Need to Know
About "Down" (CD single)
Parents need to know that even though hardcore rapper Lil Wayne is featured on this single, there isn't anything objectionable -- not even a drop of profanity. The song discusses convincing a woman to commit to a relationship, but this is done with light metaphors, instead of strong-arming seduction. For kids, that means a sensuous song that doesn't get very specific.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about artists who are known for their racy lyrics. Do you think it is a good move for R-rated rappers like Lil Wayne to guest star in songs like this? Does doing so introduce them to a younger audience? Is that a good thing or bad?
- Jay Sean is a British pop singer with Asian roots, specifically Punjabi. What do you think of hip-hop artists who originate from different parts of the world? Do you think they are adding new sounds to American music or trying to imitate a U.S. sound?
- What do you think about singers using Auto-tune? Rappers have primarily used the technology, but should artist who are supposed to know how to sing use the harmony techniques as well?

This Song is AMAZING!

- Good role models
The song's ok, but misses some bite that I have come to love.
I wanted more out of this song, sadly. Of course, clean is great, but in a song like this [especially with Lil Wayne] you want a little more than what you get. My only problem is that it is just a song, no bite. The beat's ok, chorus gets old, overall, it gets REALLY old quick. Good role models and Positive messages like the one "Lil Wayne can stay clean for once". Overall, boring song.
