Mail on Sunday

Club heavy beats don't mask iffy messages.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know there is some strong language, lots of sexual innuendo and sex talk, and much boasting about money and women on this album. Kids who saw Step Up 2: The Streets, will already know the uber-hit single, "Low." There's a clean, amended version of this CD available, too.
What's the story?
Flo Rida's hip-hop debut album, MAIL ON SUNDAYS, features the lead single "Low," along with high profile producers and artists like T. Pain, Trey Songz, Yung Joc, Will.i.am, Timbaland, Lil' Wayne, Sean Kingston, and Rick Ross.
Is it any good?
The infectious single "Low" -- the biggest selling digital single of all time -- isn't the only draw to Mail on Sundays, but it's probably the biggest. Flo Rida has virtually come out of nowhere and received more success with the hit single in the last few months than most artists do in a career. There are a few other probable hits with tracks like "Roll" (Kingston) and "Elevator" (Timbaland), but the rest is just more of the same: party talk, sex talk, money talk. Club heavy beats and ordinary, generic hip-hop lyrics don't quite live up to the hype. And, with so many big names and contributors on the album, you have to wonder if Flo Rida can make a hit on his own merit.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the fact that so many artists are featured on or have contributed to Mail on Sundays. Is it necessary for one artist to have so many "guests" on his/her album? Does it make an album more marketable or successful if several artists, especially big name ones, appear in the songs?

I love Flo Rida
Flo Rida is great. I like him. He's decent compared to half of some of these other people. I think people overreact on just the smallest bad word someone says. Kind of annoying after awhile. But still a great album.

Generic Useless Disgrace To Rap
Once I heard the dreadfully annoying Low, i knew this album was gonna s uck, was i right? HELL YEAH!
this is the 2nd worst hiphop/rap album of the year so far (because no one can be worse than soulja boy). 70% of the songs are featuring someone else to make up for flo rida' s lack of talent and the songs that he does manage to sing are TERRIBLE. Don't believe me? Listen to Ack (thats right its ack not act) Like You Know. Or you can try Still Missin, one of the whiniest rap songs i've ever heard. The Travis Barker remix of low isn't much better than the original for me because i didn't mind the beat of the original, in fact i thought it was catchy, what i couldn't stand was T-Pain's annoying voice. But the guitar in the remix is catchy.
So if you have ANY taste in music and respect for real rap then please don't buy this.... buy lupe fiasco's album or kanye west's ... do yourself a favour and stay away from this garbage.
Ps: whoever likes this album was probably dropped on their head when they were a kid so don't blame them. And Flo - Rida ?... Thats like my name being Cali - Fornia

The best rap album so far this year!
Some songs can be pretty bad but most of them are okay. One of the worst songs is American Superstar. It has some sexual content and a lot of swear words like the N word the B word and says Im f---in like a rabbit smokin on lettuce. Two of the best songs on the album are Low and Elevator which aren't bad at all unless your kids have never heard swear words then this should be fine for 12 and up.

I kind of like it.
At dance that is our hip-hop song (In the Ayer)and a 7 year old has to listen to it. Most kids are from age 10-16 in the class. I also like Low, but it doesn't give a positive attitude with bad language. I love it but the lyrics are bad. Kids

cool song, not so cool message
im only refering to the song "low" in this one. its a cool song, good music, vocals, etc. but as for the lyrics, no. the big problem is the sex in the song. like it talks about porn posters, and a girl slapping her butt. so not exactly young children appropriate. tweens that have good self-control and any teen should be good with this.
