Parents need to know that the soundtrack is questionable for younger kids in a different way than the drama of the same name (the movie has far more sexuality and drug overshadowing than the CD does, for example). The soundtrack is laced with some profanity and a few sexually suggestive lyrics, and jealousy, social climbing, and discrimination are the prevailing themes.
Positive messages:Jealousy, social climbing, and discrimination are the prevailing themes.
Violence:A couple of things: "victim of a lynching," "killing's in my system," and mentions of guns and weapons.
Sex:A little bold in some cases, but not a ton of provocative stuff: "I'll show you how to work that stick all the boys want to lick" is as bad as it gets.
Language:Lots of profanity including "s--t," which is used repeatedly in several songs. The "N" word is heard a few times.
