Production [link]

This album is the first LL Cool J album since G.O.A.T. to have the parental advisory label for explicit lyrics.[citation needed] LL said in an interview with Chicago radio personality DJ Z that the vulgarities are not heavy and the edited version has alternate lyrics rather than simply omitting the vulgarities.[10] LL and DJ Kayslay teamed up to release his first mixtape as a prelude to Exit 13 titled The Return of the G.O.A.T..

Other contributors for this album include 50 Cent, Sheek Louch, Fat Joe, Ryan Leslie, Wyclef Jean, The-Dream, Lil Mo, KRS-One, Funkmaster Flex, Richie Sambora and Darlisa Blackshere.

Exit-13

Exit-13 was a grindcore band from Millersville, Pennsylvania. The band were formed in 1989 by Relapse Records founder and co-owner Bill Yurkiewicz (vocals), guitarist Steve O'Donnell and bassist Joel DiPietro. Their early recordings, including the Disembowelling Party, The Unrequited Love of Chicken Soup and Eat More Crust demos (all 1989), their debut full-length Green Is Good (1990) and the EPs The Unrequited Love of Chicken Soup (1990) and Spare the Wrench, Surrender the Earth (1991) featured a line-up of Yurkiewicz, O'Donnell and DiPietro, with drum duties being shared between Bill Schaeffer and Pat McCahan.

Exit-13 underwent a line-up change prior to 1994's Ethos Musick, and recruited the rhythm section of Dan Lilker, famous for his work with Anthrax, Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth on bass guitar, and his Brutal Truth band-mate Scott Lewis on drums. Brutal Truth's vocalist Kevin Sharp also provided backing vocals. Future line-ups were to include Bliss Blood (of Pain Teens), Richard Hoak (of Brutal Truth) and Dave Witte (of Burnt by the Sun, Discordance Axis and Municipal Waste), amongst others.

My Minds Mine!

Why should i even bother to acknowledge the pathetic notions of =
Minds without knowledge?
I have been chastised for acting too freely, but individulism for me =
Is the key, see?!?
Why should i style my pattern of life after those who bring about =
Hatred and strife?
I would much rather have a mellow existence of celebration and =

Individuality, creativity, self - mastery... not for you?
Sensability, originality, responsability... not for you?
Stability, free mentalities, global harmony... not for you?
Stupidity, live destructively, "self" is all you see... is this you?
Pathetic apathy, christianity, no mentality... is this you?
Spreading misery, no flexability, lost and lazy... is this you?
So in conclusion, let's ignite a struggle for total transcendence =
From this confining muddle!
It seems to me simple, just strive for mental freedom, don't end up =
