Ludacris - Theater of the mind


"Back to put rappers on one knee like they bout to run 100 meter dash,
Bow down to greatness.."
"You f***in Daffy Dill, You's a Daffy Duck,
And I'm the undefeated champ, yall niggas suck!"
His first track Undisputed of his new album he is showed off like a boxer, the champ. He is still in the ring. With his 6th album released on 24th november 2008 it doesnt seem that their is an ending to his album drops. Luda told that every track on the album sounds like a scene from a movie. I didnt experience it that way, and his theatrical theme is not really clear in most of the tracks. The Intro against it is more theater style.
The album contains lots of features (co-starring) with other awesome artists. Ludacris does a track with T.I., one with T-Pain, with The Game, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Lil Wayne, Common and one track with Nas and Jay-z on it. Really great artists, good songs too, you could expect more though from some tracks. But besides that its a pretty nice album.

"So many diamonds the safe look like Kay jewelers"
With lines about money and haters he fills up a track with T.I. Afer that he hooks up with T-Pain, switching the style and subject. And what else it could be that it goes about love, sex and the club with Pain. One more drink, is about the girls in the club that look nice from behind, less up front. Taking one more drink to solve that problem and than going home with the girl.
I'm headed to the club, lookin' for a freak,
To spread a lil' love, to spread a couple cheeks,
Pull up to the spot, 26's like BEAMMM,
Eyes on me like "BITCH, DO YOU SEE EM'"?
Stroll to the front door headed to the VIP,
Bought a couple bottles and I took a couple sips,
Strokib' out the room and what do I SEE?,
A nice round butt and a pair of DOUBLE D's,
So, I crept up like SHAWTY WHAT'S HAPPENIN'?,
You killin' that dress and I love it with a passion,
Then she turned around and her face was AIGHT,
She had a gap tooth and a mean overbite,
But I was like HMMMMM...


Next track is more gangsta, featuring The Game and Willy Northpole. "Cause I see some nigga staring at us, With a lame frown, I'm a call up the homies, It's about to go down," This is kind of a cool track Call up the homies, its about when the streets get hungry, the streets gon' eat. Some more gangster shit in Southern Gangsta featuring Rick Ross.
Further some other tracks about girls with Chris Brown. Not to forget 'Last of a dying breed' with lil wayne, a nice beat and a nice flow, lyrically no deep content.
And 'I do it for Hip-Hop' with Nas and Jay-z. Three good artists on a track talkin bout they did it for Hip-Hop, not for the money, it came from the heart. Of course they have money and probably they also do it (partically) for the money. Quoting Ludacris:
But i don't do it for the money, I do it from the heart. I do it with the beatbox, i did it from the start. I do it for the DJ's, I do it for the chart's. The fan gel flow, luda do it cuz it's art. I do it for the fans,
I don't do it for the cars and the fancy drops I do it for Hip-Hop. Good the know that its not only for the money, besides that I dont care if they do it for the money or not. As long as they stay real and keeps beat pumping and blowing speakers like candles on your bday.
With some swagger, old skool, fancy artists and more this album isnt that bad! Not the album of the year, the public more like 808s & Heartbreak, Im not gonna fill any sentences about which album is the best as this is a totally different style. Dont choose, just listen em both.
Just go check out the Album Theater of the Mind - Ludacris !
