Exit 13

This CD was a lot better than I expected. I've heard many of the original songs that were suppose to be on the CD, but he changed them all, so I didn't know what to expect. He has a lot of guest artist, but it's a great blend; he's not overshadowed by them.He uses a lot more bands with this project, which I think is great. You can tell that its not the average hip-hop CD of today. The CD starts off with "Time for War," which reminded me of LL from "I'm Bad" days by the way he was rapping. It's a classic. A few more really good tracks are "You Better Watch Me," which was produced my Marley Mal. This is another classic. It shows that he can be hard when he wants to be. It shows his versatility, which is something that most rappers don't have. "Mr. President" with Wyclef Jean on the hook is another good track. It talks about service member dying in war, etc.... "Get over Here" is a dirty South type of song. It's much better than I expected. He has a couple of new people on it and it flows very well. "Come and Party" with me features Fat Joe is another song that is much better than I expected. This is definitely a club banger "I Fall in Love" is a smooth track, but not to the point where you want to go and make babies. It has a great flow and will keep your attention the entire time. This is just SOME of the positives.The "Baby" Rock Remix is catchy and I actually like it, but it doesn't flow with the CD. "American Girl" is not one of my favorites. It didn't catch me from the start and probably shouldn't have made the CD. "This is Ring Tone Murder" is a hit or a miss. Either you will like it or you won't. I am not feeling it. He has some songs on his mixed tape that should've replaced these that are straight hot. If you haven't heard the mixed tape, you can look it up online and download it for free. Had he done that, this CD would definitely rate 5 starts. But with the above shortcomings, I still give it 4 out of 5. Definitely worth the purchase!

It is always great and fun to hear some new LL after all these years. This is not his best album by far, but he does come through with a handful of good ones.-Baby - here is your mainstream song that gets the album in radio play.-You Better Watch Me - this one is great. You can play this one over and over and just bob your head.-Speedin on da Highway - I like this one driving down the road.- Come and Party With Me - good enough for the end of the album- Feel My Heart BeatSome of the songs are flat-out not good - Mr. President, Dear Hip Hop and American Girl. Who talked him in to doing these?Anyways, this album has its moments and is worth a listen because LL is the G.O.A.T.

Ich gebe zu das ich kein eingefleischter LL Fan der ersten Stunde bin...mag vll. auch daran liegen das ich dort noch gar nicht geboren war.Aber ich stehe total auf Old School und höre auch größtenteils Rapper die schon länger im Geschäft sind und geilen Hip-Hop machen.Genauso weiß ich das heutzutage ein großteil vieler Hip-Hop Produktionenlangweilige Massenproduktionen sind, bei welchen nur Kohle gemacht wird.Man vermisst manchmal echt alte Zeiten in denen Hip-Hop noch funky war und es nicht nur um Kohle und Weiber ging.Das Album von LL ist größtenteils echt sehr geil, wobei ich solche Schnulz Tracks überhaupt nicht abkann, welche bei seinen letzten Alben öfters vorkamen."Baby" ist hart an der Grenze, jedoch geht das Lied auch ab.Ein Lied welches ich gar nicht leiden kann ist "Like a Radio" (so furchtbar)..aba das ist Ansichtssache.Abgesehen davon, gehen die Lieder tierisch ab.Und die Inhalte sind größtenteils auch sehr gut, was man bei "mr.President" gut sehen(hören) kann.

Exit 13 proves that LL Cool J can rhyme with some new rappers in the game. In his songs he talks about personnal problems, love, and pain on why he should've defended the music he made. LL Cool J got some cool collobrators as well. Guys like The Dream and 50 Cent, you can't go wrong. Exit 13 is the album that a lot of LL Cool J fans have been waiting for him to do.

'll cool j still got it. I love this album All the tracks are worth listening to. I do not skip tracks on this album. My favorite is the track with lil mo.
