Buzzin' (MTV)
common sense media says
Rap lifestyle show overindulges in commercialism.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality show is a not-so-thinly veiled attempt to promote an up-and-coming rap act. That means young viewers will probably walk away from each episode humming one of the group's songs and wanting to download their music -- which is precisely what their label wants you to do. While there are certainly worse role models on television, there are also far better ones. One of the guys is convicted of a misdemeanor and sentenced to community service, and the other is a self-proclaimed party enthusiast. There's some cursing (although "s--t" and "f--k" are bleeped), and the guys occasionally drink alcohol.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Both backstage and on video shoots, the rappers surround themselves with beautiful women who often aren't wearing more than skimpy bikinis.
Language:
Words like "ass" and "damn" are audible, but "s--t" and "f--k" are bleeped.
Consumerism:
This show is one big product tie-in. On one level, it's a living, breathing advertisement for the group (their single, "Buzzin'," is not only the show's theme song -- it's also repeated multiple times). But one of the group's sponsors, Pontiac, is also prominently featured. The rappers perform at a Pontiac event, and, during the commercial break, an ad for the Pontiac Vibe airs that features the group using the car to get to various gigs -- with the tune "Buzzin'" playing in the background.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The rappers are often shown drinking beer and other types of alcohol, but they're both of legal age.
