What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series -- which follows hip-hop DJ Funkmaster Flex as he visits his famous friends to gush about their custom cars -- is full of product placement and branding. Flex talks up specific car brands, as well as his favorite auto shops and major parts suppliers, and he often promotes his friends' latest albums or other projects, too. There's not much in the way of sex, drinking, language, or violence, but while die-hard fans of custom cars may enjoy the show, there's little to interest others.
