Line 49:
* Jurassic Five often mocks this trope, rapping about staying true to rap. Or... something.
* Inverted in the case of [[Michael Jackson]], who became less "kid-friendly" as the time passed.
* Three Six Mafia is well on its way to being [[Rated "G" for Gangsta]], seeing how their first album was about Satan Worship, and their latest includes a radio playlist hit.
** I think their G-rating began when they won an Oscar--before [[Martin Scorsese]], no less!
* [[Ozzy Osbourne (Music)|Ozzy Osbourne]] is another variation on this. He hasn't changed his musical style, but he's generally regarded as harmless, when in his heyday, [[Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure|like Oz--er, Socrates--he was repeatedly accused of corruption of the young]].
Line 68:
** It's been rumored that at one time WWE considered making ''SmackDown'' live but UPN was terrified of giving Cena a live mic; this is the same man that later, live on Raw, tagged a limo with graffiti reading [[Memetic Mutation|"JBL is poopy".]]
** There's also the bit where Cena's also shoehorned into the role by the writers, who wouldn't allow him to drop to midcard and turn heel after he dropped his title the first time.
* [[Redd Foxx]] became [[Rated "G" for Gangsta]] through [[Sanford and Son]]. Anyone who liked his bumbling old man Fred Sanford persona and sought out some of his old "party records" would be in for a shock.
* This can happen to franchises, too. The ''[[Police Academy]]'' movies are rated, in order, R, PG-13, PG, PG, PG, PG, PG . . . and then came the TV show, which was even PG-er.
* ''Fame'', movie from [[The Eighties]], rated R. ''Fame'', the 2009 remake, rated PG. (Of course, that's only if you don't take its unrated edition into account.)
