ESRB reveals new Rocksmith+ Song

Hello Rocksmith fans!

Since the delay of Rocksmith+ there hasn’t been much to talk about, but in true rhythm game fashion the ESRB has given up a small morsel of news to digest while we wait for @Rocksmithplus to reveal the release date for the Rocksmith+ Service.

Yesterday reddit user tribeoftheliver posted that the ESRB rating for Rocksmith+ had been posted on the website. What it detailed was four songs (two of which were already DLC for Rocksmith Remastered) to be considered for the Teen rating.

The lyrics are from the following songs:

• A Tribe Called Quest – Buggin’ Out (“I used to smoke the weed out”) [Rocksmith+ Beta]
• Rick Derringer – Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo (“Gettin’ high all the time, hope you all are too”)
• Run-DMC – It’s Tricky (“They offer coke and lots of dope”)
• The Airborne Toxic Event – Why Why Why (“You’d consider me again after smoking some weed”)

Although the game is rated T, there will still be S-words and N-words.
