Raw Footage (by Ice Cube, Rap)
common sense media says
Social commentary underneath violence, swearing.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although Ice Cube has starred in some movies that are fine for tweens and teens, his new CD is best for older teens. The album is filled with expletives, the "N" word, and some references to violence and drugs, along with simplistic rhymes and brief expressions of social consciousness.
Violence:
Quite a few violent references: "My boy got a knife that turned a boy into a girl" being one of the more imaginative.
Sex:
Some innuendo, more sexist than sexy.
Language:
Loaded with four-letter words, the "N" word, and sexist language.
Consumerism:
Clear Channel, Radio One, cars.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Many references to drugs. "I'm raw as a dirty needle" and "If I sell a little crack ain't nothing to it/gangsta rap made me do it."

Too many swear words but in the end a good album.
My favs are "Gangsta Rap Made Me do it" and "Why Me?" because that show's the Cube in ACTION! Way too much swearing, though!
