Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The guys are generally well behaved, though they party, drink, and hunt for women. Issues of race and prejudice sometimes come into play.

  • Violence:

    Some allusions to violence in music. The group records a song for the Jackass, folks and there's some discussion about their crazy stunts.

  • Sex:

    Guys stare at women and sometimes make appreciative comments about female bodies. One episode follows one of the men as he meets a woman and brings her home and into his bedroom, where she straddles him.

  • Language:

    Plenty of profanity, though the harsher words are bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    There's definitely an emphasis on lavish lifestyles -- the guys drive a Rolls and live in a mansion.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Fair amount of drinking. One guy in particular drinks frequently, and the others joke about his habits.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Adventures in Hollyhood

Parents need to know that this reality show -- which follows a Southern rap group's move to Hollywood -- includes plenty of profanity (mostly bleeped), a good deal of drinking, and some sexual activity. The main male characters ogle women and sometimes make catcalls. In one scene, one of the rappers takes a woman upstairs (ostensibly for sex), and she playfully smacks him while straddling him (still clothed). One character is known for his drinking, and the camera catches him doing shots privately. Other characters joke about his drinking. Issues of race and prejudice come into play, such as when the African-American rappers arrive in their fancy new neighborhood and get lots of stares from the Caucasian folks on the streets.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what this series' point is. Is it just to follow the Three 6 Mafia guys as they experience new things and people, or is there a bigger message? If so, what is it? How is it similar to and different from other MTV reality shows? Families can also discuss fish-out-of-water scenarios. What's so funny or interesting about seeing these particular guys in Hollywood? Have you ever felt out of place where you live or while traveling? What's it like getting to know new surroundings?
