Sean Kingston (by Sean Kingston, Hip-hop)
common sense media says
Reggae and rap without the hardcore content.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that if your kids insist on listening to rap or hip-hop, this might be a decent compromise. There's minimal profanity (one use of the word "bulls--t" and the "N" word comes up a few times). Sexual innuendo is barely a flutter with phrases like "we use to kiss" or "wanna get up in it." There are some references to drugs in the tracks "Colors" and "Change," but in the sense of what needs to be changed about the "the hood."
Violence:
Nothing explicit or overly graphic ("We can go to the slums/where killas get hung/little kid wit guns only 15/roamin' the streets up to no good" and "gang bangin' I inherited from my mother"). The track "Colors" refers to gangs and violence: "my people die over colors."
Sex:
A few hints at innuendo ("booty so big/just tryin to get up in it," "we used to kiss and caress," and "I want a piece of that forbidden fruit").
Language:
A few words here and there: "bulls--t" once, "bastard," and the "N" word a few times on "Colors."
Consumerism:
Few references, but not bombarded: Kodak, Coke, Bacardi, Ferrari. Mentions other artists like Dr. Dre, Diddy, and Rihanna.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Mentions the drink Coke and Bacardi, "puffin' on crack and marijuana," but in reference to what needs to be changed about "the hood." Says "smoke chronic" in "Colors."

Pretty Good
All that concerns me is one use of "b-llsh-t", one use of "b-st-rd", and (like all rap music, but not used as frequently) a few uses of "n-gg-r".

not bad
Sean Kingston is no where near the Kingston talent that Sean Paul shows us, but does a pretty good job, especially on the track "Take You There."
