In using [[music censorship|censored]] [[radio version]]s of every song in its setlist, ''Rapstar'' becomes the first ''Def Jam'' game to be rated Teen by the [[ESRB]] since ''[[Def Jam Vendetta]]''. Players are also not obligated to sing profanities, and missing any does not affect their score.<ref name=Curses/>

The PlayStation 3 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the Xbox 360 and Wii versions received "mixed or average reviews" according to video game [[review aggregator]] [[Metacritic]].<ref name=MCPS3/><ref name=MCWII/><ref name=MCX360/>
''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the Xbox 360 version four stars out of five and called it "an absolute must. If you've found yourself mouthing the words to A Milli on the tube, there's a huge amount of fun to be had here. And while it doesn't have the universal appeal of its more mainstream counterparts, the potential of its online feature means it could well become a huge sleeper success."<ref name=Guardian>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2010/nov/25/def-jam-rapstar-review|title=Def Jam Rapstar - review|last=Arnott|first=Jack|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=November 25, 2010|access-
[[IGN]] gave the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game a 7.5 out of 10. They praised the scoring accuracy and the features, but criticized the censorship in the songs as the game went for a "Teen" rating.
