How many curses does it take to get a Parental Advisory?

[CashmereThoughts]

JT said "I be on my suit and tie shyt" about 10 times.. I'm sure there's a parent somewhere mad AF when they heard they kid playin this (that's good trolling).

But seriously, what u gotta say to earn the sticker?

On Tribe's Midnight Mauraders, I remember thinking that somebody didn't give Large Professor the message that they wasn't cussing on the album. Dude dropped 2 fukks & 1 shytty in his verse They still didn't get the sticker though. Back then you could say nikka as much as you wanted and not get the sticker, not sure about now.

cosign...the whole sticker thing started b/c white parents were shook...no one gave a **** when john lennon said fukk or whatever

the whole thing started as a way to label rap records as deviant n further criminalize black men...

Great thread OP, I always wondered this as well

All of Em's albums have that sticker, and I would imagine a lot of Rock albums have those stickers.




There's some R & B albums where the artist curses on it and it doesn't have the sticker, Alicia Keys cursed on Women Worth and the album that song is on doesn't have the sticker IIRC.

Miguel cussed on his most recent album and it has no sticker on it.

The first albums to be labeled for explicit lyrics included Prince's Purple Rain (1984), Danzig's self-titled album (1988), Soundgarden's Louder Than Love (1989), Guns N Roses's Appetite for Destruction (1987), and 2 Live Crew's As Nasty As They Wanna Be (1989)

wikipedia is your friend.
