'Parental Advisory' 2001: Oral Sex, Weed & Death Threats

Young fans buying Janet Jackson's new album will be exposed to explicit sexual lyrics including 'Baby would you mind tasting me, it's making me all juicy' and 'I'll be there- when you're fucking me', if they miss the warning sticker accompanying each record. Appearing in NME this week, the superstar sister of Michael appeared unconcerned, instead boasting about her new passion for body piercing. "My tongue, my septum, my nipple, my clitoris, my navel.. I've had a lot pierced," she said. "I don't want to sound crass or anything but it's truly a sexual thing."

Ex Spearhead and Disposable Heroes of Hip-hoprisy frontman Michael Franti, whose own new album 'Stay Human' doesn't include any warning stickers, admitted that he remains concerned about influencing minors. "The trick is not to let them (children) rebel," Franti advised in the Observer. "Cappy (his son) is 14 but gets offered wine with his meal. He can smoke dope (marijuana) if he wants to. What kid is going to run away from that- I'm not the kind of guy to go campaigning about world issues if I haven't worked out my problems at home first."

His easygoing approach contrasted with the problems of intolerance that led to President George Bush's 19 year old daughter Jenna being arrested for underage drinking last week (The US age limit is 21). Her arrest refocused media attention on Bush's own past and revived recent allegations made by fellow students to the National Enquirer tabloid magazine that she is 'partial to marijuana'. "Commentators have already drawn comparisons with the wild youth of the President, who was partial to drink and has skirted around allegations of cocaine use," said The Independent on Sunday.

In a further deviation from tradition, Ghetto tech Detroit type DJ Assault's latest album 'Off the Chain for the Y2K- Volume 6' issues an even more unconventional warning: "Anyone caught bootlegging this CD will get their mouth blown out," Assault also neglects to warn youngsters of tracks including 'Fuck You Hoe', 'Suck My M.F. Dick' and 'Aw Shit' (Female Version).
'Off The Chain 6' is out on Intuit Solar Records, while Michael Franti's new album 'Stay Human' is out on Parlophone/ Six Degrees on Monday (May 7th). Janet's new one (All For You) is out now on Virgin.
