Why We Rated This for Ages 15 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  Although many of the songs promote partying (“Party everyday,” “party all the time and sleep all day”) there are some songs that address more serious issues in society. “Generation Now” dissects today’s digital culture and “One Tribe” promotes peace and equality: “Forget about all that evil they feed ya, remember that we are all one people.”

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Not an issue.
• Sex:

  “Ring-a-Ling” is all about booty calls. “If I’m callin’ at two in the morning then it only means one thing.” “If you don’t want to have sex with me, then why are you texting me?” A few other songs make brief sexual references, Fergie sings about dildos and “bitches on her d--k” and the group mentions hoochies and “lending out semen.”
• Language:

  The majority of the tracks have little or no profanity. However, a few songs like “Imma Be” includes the word nigger and s--t. A-s is used several times throughout the album.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Even though several songs celebrate partying, only “Outta My Head’ makes the connection between partying and getting drunk. This song is all about escaping reality with the help of some drinks. “Imma go get a drink…when they open up the bar, Imma hit the bottle, ‘cause I didn’t bring my car.” On a positive note, at least the song doesn’t promote drinking and driving.
