Than you will like this. This has the man who raps in Linkin Park. This is one of those CDs that turns you on to the genre even if you might not like it. I'm white and I don't like rap, but I like this CD. The main thing bad about this CD is the language. There is a good amount of strong profanity. It's not nearly as bad as regular rap because there is no sex. Also, there are drug refrences, but it dosen't glorify them. If you can get past the profanity, nothing else is much of an issue.

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Alot of the songs are really good and some even have some social awareness (The REAL World, depicted in "Right Now"; What it' like to be Japanese in America, circa 1942, in "Kenji"). Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park is the main rapper on the record. If your kid likes Linkin Park, I would definately recommend this album, but get the Edited Version, as the uncensored version has alot of language in it, as you can probably tell by the high number of "Interruption" (cursing muted out of the song).
