Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie contains some strong language. While there is no on-screen sex, drug use or violence, Jay-Z's lyrics are occasionally sexually explicit, and include references to drug use and violence. Generally, the profane remarks are part of stand-alone boasts, rather than a unified worldview. If the viewer is unfamiliar with hip-hop lingo, many references will go by too quickly to be understood.

Sexual Content

Oblique references to sex.

Violence

Lyrics include repeated threats of violence.

Language

Plenty of swears, frequent use of the "n" word

Social Behavior

Overvaluation of material possessions, objectification of women.

Consumerism

Lots of brand-names everywhere, and commercialism is celebrated.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

References to drinking, marijuana.
