What Parents Need to Know

About Suit

Parents need to know that the CD is filled with graphic descriptions of sex, but the edited version is unusually well-produced, and softer-sounding than its companion CD, Sweat. However, there are graphic descriptions of sexual encounters that can't be entirely overcome by editing.

    Nelly Rocks! (raps)

    This guy is so tight! My Place, Over and Over, Pretty Toes, and Play it off were all awesome songs! With only some strong cursing, and very mild violence, it's an okay alum for 15+.
