Objectionable Content

A near-constant stream of profanity flows through more than 73 minutes of audio sludge. Glorifications of violence include bragging about a robbery (“Ready or Not”), hateful threats against police (“Red Intro”), gang shootings (“The Score”), planning an assassination (“Zealots”) and much more. The artist invites Newt Gingrich to engage in oral sex (“The Beast”) and decries black-on-black violence by stating, “Only problem we have is killing the people who don’t look like us who oppress us/S—, you wanna impress me? Shoot the muthaf—– who turned off my lights/Shoot somebody who makin’ my bills high.” Other tracks recommend smoking marijuana, downing whiskey sours and drinking moonshine. The trio’s theology is a disturbing blend of Rastafarianism, voodoo and a warped view of Christianity. The title cut finds a man in a bar boasting of a sexual conquest.

Summary Advisory

Its rasta-reggae flavor is all that sets this effort apart from run of the mill gangsta trash. Incessant profanity. Drugs. Alcohol. Murder. Take the parental advisory seriously and point teens away from The Score.
