What Parents Need to Know
About Exit 13
Parents need to know that although there's a light, feel-good tone to most of the tracks on this album, there are also explicit references to sex and women. Several of the songs are dedicated to discussing casual or irresponsible sex, and the lyrics sometimes objectify women. This is the first LL Cool J album in several years to carry the "Explicit Lyrics" label, and there are plenty to be heard in most of the tracks. The "clean" version includes alternative lyrics, rather than just the removal of the profanities.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether LL Cool J is a confusing role model for teens. Because he's 40 and married with children, he's often portrayed as a positive example in sitcoms and in public appearances. Yet many of the songs on this album include stereotypical lyrics that objectify women and glamorize sexual promiscuity. Why do you think he has this dual image? What message does that send to his fans?
