Now Viewing: parental_advisoryTag type: General A label found on records since 1990 that warn the listener that the music contains explicit lyrics (either explicit language or references to drugs, sex, extreme violence, etc.) It was first devised in the 1980s by Tipper Gore, who had the idea after catching her daughter singing along to "Darling Nikki" by Prince, which contains references to masturbation. Shortly afterwards she formed the Parents Music Resource Center, which published a list of the "Filthy Fifteen", "Darling Nikki" being number one. The label was initially aimed at rock music, but it has become commonly associated with hip hop. Due to large retailers like Walmart refusing to stock albums with this label, some artists have released "clean" versions of their albums, either by bleeping explicit language or altering lyrics.
