ludacris - theater of the mind

This is hands down, the best album of 2008.

EASILLY!!

The never inconsistent luda delivers another classic release. Personally, this is one of the best collaborations i could possibly picture. Despite the huge list of co-stars(yes, i said co-stars) Luda manages to hold his own amongst a pool of sharks including T.I, Common, Jay-z, Nas, The Game, Lil' Wayne, and Rick Ross. There is also some amazing, unexpected productions on this album including, 9th wonder, AND DJ PREMIER! 'Cris delivers such an incredibly versatile album that there is a track for every type of fan in hip hop.

Luda effortlessly outshines the living legends; Nas, and especially Jay-z, on "I do it for hip hop." Despite Jay-z's terrible '16' this track still lands a spot within 'dope shiet' playlist on itunes.
T-pain, one of the biggest song sluts in the industry makes an appearance on the chorus of "One More Drink." He does a great job at making a funny, lighthearted, club track that describes a night that most of us can relate to. T-Pain has really redeemed himself lately, the only dude I can listen to on autotune over SELECT tracks.

There is a whole movie vibe concept going on with this album which is a good representation of Luda's new focus, directing. Hence why every track on this album has "co-stars," instead of features. Floyd Mayweather and Chris Rock enhance this movie vibe, on tracks "Undisputed, and Everyone Hates Chris."

Ludacris lets everyone know he is the champ with TOTM, outshining every single "co-star" on this display of brilliance. I haven't been this stoked on an album in a long ass time. Currently, I am not playing this album because I don't want to get burnt out on it(if thats possible).

As you may have noticed I am a hard reviewer, so you know its no joke that I'm rating this album 9.5/10.

I feel bad about posting a download link, but 'Cris makes it evident that he has enough assets.

ENJOY
