iTunes Review

Def Jam couldn’t have existed without LL Cool J, and LL Cool J couldn’t have existed without Def Jam. After 24 years and 13 albums, Exit 13 brings LL’s contract with the legendary label to a close, thereby ending one of the mightiest, and most mutually beneficial partnerships in hip-hop history. The album finds LL revisiting several of the trademarks he has established over the course of his long career. Loverman rap (“Baby,” “I Fall In Love”), fearsome braggadocio (“It’s Time For War”), and funky, sample-laced tracks underscored by deadly lyricism: “Thorough to the max / Q-borough matter fact / Ice so sharp it cut through your cataracts” (“We Rollin’”). Like many of LL’s later-period albums Exit 13 suffers from an overload of divergent ideas, but a few old school throwbacks bring welcome closure to LL’s tenure with Def Jam. “Rocking With the G.O.A.T.” is a head-knocker that unites LL with his boyhood nemesis Marley Marl, while the slithering “This Is Ring Tone M…” returns rap to the dingy Big Apple birthplace, courtesy of Grandmaster Caz and former EPMD member DJ Scratch. Mr. Smith, you have come full circle.

Ain't no other like LL
     
by Curtis75Black

His diversity with subjects and flow is what carries this cd. From 'It's Time for War' to 'New York, New York' he thoroughly represents !! 'Ringtone Murder, Rocking with The GOAT finds Uncle L back in that aggresive mode letting the youngstas know what time it is, while Dear Hip Hop, L reps for the passion of the culture.

LL Cool J - 'Exit 13' Review
     
by Awesome Artist Reviewer

This album is great. LL Cool J is my favorite rapper. It is to bad he's gone. You know, I can't possibly pick a favorite song from this CD, they're all good! 'Baby' is a fun song. I think I might actually like the -'Rock Remix' more. But...Oh, we need Double L back.

LL Cool J-Exit 13
     
by btaznpride

Not his last album, but his last album regarding his contract with Def Jam records, whom he has been signed to for 20 years and helped build the label. Has LL still got it or does is he on the decline?

It’s Time For War: Dramatic strings, choir vocals and triumphant horns join, while LL claims his reign over rap. The production is entertaining, however LL worries a bit, due to the unforceful impact of his rhymes. 3/5
Old School New School: Triumphant horns and a relatively uptempo number has LL spitting over strings. Speaking on how his legacy is relevant and its nothing for the old and new school rap, LL delivers a decent track here. The hook is a bit dull and forced with the reference of “I burn like Disco Inferno”, however Ryan Leslie’s production compliments nicely. 3.5/5
Feel My Heart Beat: The second single off the album, The Dream Team create a jazzy production that includes horns and a mediocre 50 Cent feature. The track just can’t come out of mediocrity, merely a decent dance track but nothing more. 3/5
Get Over Here: A clubby synth number that features fellow New York up and comers, Nicolette, Ticky Diamondz & duo, Jiz & Lyrikal. It’s an entertaining club joint that has LL having some fun with the young unknowns of New York who all greatly grab hold of the spotlight with some unique and solid flows. 3.5/5
Baby: Lead single that was a catchy and radio ready number assisted by The-Dream who handles the repetitive mentioning of “baby”. Lyrically LL has some fun, however the slurring of words is bit lazy, otherwise it’s a decent single. 3.5/5
You Better Watch Me: One of the noteworthy tracks, the grimy and moody production hits hard and brings back some old LL. 3.5/5
Cry: Lil’ Mo delivers some heartfelt passion to the track, however LL comes out sounding flat here. Lyrically it is lacking and surprisingly his typical sex appeal comes out dull and it creates a boring track. 2/5
Baby (Rock Remix): Why they would add a rock remix is beyond me, but this uptempo horn filled remix sounds completely out of place. Listen to the original because this is worse. 2/5
Rocking With The G.O.A.T.: A decent throwback number that doesn’t quite captivate as well as it should. Its a decent track that has LL throwing some shots, but only mediocre. 3/5
This Is Ring Tone M...: LL comes out firing and this is one of the closest tracks to his fiery young self. The Grandmaster Caz hook is likeable and the raw production of drums, chants and dark synths work well to allow LL do his thing. 3.5/5
Like A Radio: Synthy club knocker that attempts to appeal to the younger generation. The unappealing hook, Leslie’s mediocre production and LL’s forced flow doesn’t work here. 2.5/5
I Fall In Love: Decent club production, but the hook is a bit bizarre and attempts to add an Indian influence. Forgettable track that has some dance tempo to it. 2.5/5
Ur Only A Customer: Slightly soulful production and LL flows decently over it, but the track just doesn’t stick as you’d like. Nonetheless one of the better tracks, as LL boasts of his status and delivers a relaxed flow. 3/5
Mr. President: Synthetic beat that goes at the president and has a nice vibe to it. Wyclef adds his reggae sound, decent track. 3/5
American Girl: LL pays tribute to various girls of America and results are a corny horny number with whistling horns. 2/5
Speedin’ On Da Highway/Exit 13: The flow is on point, a mediocre hook and solid production create a decent track. 3/5
Come And Party With Me: Decent club number that features a worthy Fat Joe verse, but the track doesn’t really possess a great vibe. Another decent club attempt. 3/5
We Rollin’: Relaxed production, decent flow, but nothing too impressive. 2.5/5
Dear Hip Hop: Streetrunner composes some good production while LL writes a letter to his genre and talks of the need to cease on calling women “b****es” and “h**s”. Solid track that has a nice sampled hook. 3.5/5

LL’s twelfth (13th overall) album comes off as unsure and shaky as it started with talks of 50 Cent being the executive producer. The whole return of the old LL and the G.O.A.T. talk brought some buzz for the record, but it sadly falters because it rarely showcases that hardcore flow. Memorable moments are when LL succeeds in doing that, with “You Better Watch Me” & “This Is Ringtone M...” showing some fresh old school flow. For the majority of the album there are unnecessary references to current club culture and has LL sounding dated. Mediocre album that lacks in direction, but it should be credited to LL for his longevity in the game.

Biography

Born: January 14, 1968 in Bay Shore, NY

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s

Hip-hop is notorious for short-lived careers, but LL Cool J is the inevitable exception that proves the rule. Releasing his first hit, "I Can't Live Without My Radio," in 1985 when he was just 17 years old, LL initially was a hard-hitting, streetwise b-boy with spare beats and ballistic rhymes. He quickly...
