common sense media says
Reality show about reformed hip-hopper is mediocre at best.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series -- which follows hip-hop music executive Irv Gotti as he regroups after being acquitted of laundering drug money -- deals with mature themes like legal controversy, infidelity, and divorce. It offers mixed messages about family relationships and includes scenes in which Gotti's children are affected by their parents' issues. You can also expect a lot of strong language (most of which is bleeped out) and some drinking, as well as sex and violence references in featured songs.
Positive role models:
Gotti is trying to rebuild his name and reputation in the hip-hop
industry after being acquitted of criminal charges. He loves Deb and
his children, but he's shown attempting to control his estranged wife.
He also struggles with balancing his work and family. Gotti refers to
women as "scallywags," "chicks," and "hos."

Violence:
Frequent arguments between Gotti and recording artists and Gotti and Deb. Gotti's record label is named "Murder Inc." Some of the featured music references violence.
Sex:
Some of the music heard features sexually explicit lyrics. Infidelity is openly discussed. Dating is sometimes discussed.
Language:
Strong language throughout. Words like "damn" and "hell" are audible; "s--t" and "f--k" are frequent, but bleeped. The word "ho" is also bleeped.
Consumerism:
Expensive cars (Range Rovers, Cadillacs) are visible. Popular hip-hop music occasionally heard. Features well-known musicians like Russell Simmons, Ja Rule, DMX, Lloyd, and Vanessa Carlton.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Alcohol (wine, beer, mixed drinks) is sometimes visible. Gotti was charged and acquitted on federal charges of laundering money for drug kingpins.

It's alright!
It's not for kids IMO 15/16 of age or less, it is a bit on the interesting side. To see how the business works on the others side I suppose and on the flip side trying to keep a family life going.
