What parents need to know

Parents need to know that although this CD has mostly innocent overtones about love, there's also a bit of more explicit sexual content such as talking about women's body types and parts ("I'm in love with double D cups") and getting with someone.

Positive messages: Puts a lot of emphasis on a woman's looks and enhanced body parts.
Violence: "Hold your guns, if they is hella hating."
Sex: Sexual content is strong and there is some reference to sex -- direct or not -- in almost every song.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: A bunch of brands are mentioned: Jordans, Ray-Ban, Dickie, Gucci, Tivo, Nike, Nikon, Lamborghini, McDonald's.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: "Hold your drinks up, like you was celebrating."

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about how teen artists mature. Has Chris Brown's music changed much from when he was 16 and released his first album? Does age come into play when writing and singing songs? Should an 18-year-old be singing about different things than a 30-year-old?

What's the story?

What's the story?
Chris Brown, all of 18 years old, has matured since his last album -- as he shows on EXCLUSIVE, singing mostly about his fondness and appreciation of the ladies. Romance abounds on the love-infused "With You" ("With every kiss and every hug/You make me fall in love/And now I know I can't be the only one"), for example. He also gets help from a who's who of the music world (Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, OutKast's Big Boi, and T-Pain).

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Brown's sophomore effort lives up to the hype he's generated since the release of his first CD more than two years ago. But it's more than just hype -- it's a collection of 16 solid R&B songs and rhythmic dance tracks that just might melt the hearts of teenage girls everywhere.

Not worth buying.
I didn't really like this. My 14 year daughter plays it in the car, but I refuse to let my 11 year old to be exposed to this. It's not very good./

chris brown doesnt talk about that type of things he just talks about like yeah want to get together or make out or whatever and luckly there is no violence unlike some other singers he is a good singer and i would say people from 10-to infinity and beyond could hear it.

Good, but for older kids...
I love this Album, but it does say the D word a couple times, like in the song picture perfect, and other songs. Also it does have alot of sexual content so i think that kids over 10 should listen to this Album.

I LOVE This Boy!!
This boy is very talented. Not like some of these other celebrities that get famous because of a family member. He is a great song writer, great singer, a great dancer, and he is extremely good looking. Great combination in my opinion!
