Theater Of The Mind

Yes, as of this posting, this is another album I'm bumping. I'm a Luda fan, and this album I consider his best (it's also my favorite album from him). I do recall Terry making a comment about this album being the one in Luda's discog that most East Coast heads would say is his best, and I agreed with that then and I still agree with it now. IMO, it seems like he was more energetic lyrically on this album and the production wasn't too far behind either. What you think?

First, this should go in New Skool Hip Hop

Second, Word Of Mouf>>>>>>>>>>>

This is a dope album, though. Gets right around 4 stars from me

I'v never been a fan of Ludacris but I understand why cats like him he's a talented dude. But for some risen I always got the impression that he was bitting of Busta not by his flow but his presence and what his music is focused on and I'v just always felt that way about him. Plus he seems like one of those dude's that jumps on the bandwagon and tries make money of of it basically a sellout. On Another note I just put Busta Rhymes under my sellout list couple months ago.

So it's safe to say you don't own any Luda albums right, lol?

Actually I own "The Red Light District" love the track and the video for "Get back" one of very few tracks I like from him.

I've always liked Get Back also. Tight track.

Get Back is like the 50th best Luda track

Could be right on that one.

I'd say this is his 3rd best album, behind his first two. 4.25 stars.

My favorite tracks are MVP, I Do It For Hip Hop, and Undisputed.

Those are 3 of my favorites also. I also like Southern Gangsta a lot, even if it does have Rick Ross on it.

Not for nothing, but The Red Light District isn't his best work. It's a 4 star album at best.

TOTM had better production, but I thought Luda's lyrics were better on Back For The First Time.

I actually ordered Red Light District (for the second time, first time I bought it was the week before or after it came out in November 2004) again. I recall giving it 4 stars when I had it, now we'll see if that rating still stands once the item arrives.

Yo KJ, did you like Last of a Dying Breed with Lil Wayne? I'm not a fan of Wayne, but I'll admit he did kill it on that verse. Didn't outshine Luda though.

Word Of Mouf and Back For The First Time are neck and neck, and then everything after that is an obvious step down.

I would consider Battle of the Sexes to be his only step down............... until he returns with "Ludaversal" (followed by Theater Of The Mind 2, lol).

Subject: Re: Theater Of The Mind Sat 02 Oct 2010, 7:58 pm

Are you saying those next two albums are going to be steps down?

Yes indeed.

Back For The First Time is overrated as hell to me.

Theater Of The Mind is my 2nd fav Luda album. I only have 2 fav albums form him. The rest all just play the same to me give or take. I'll give TOTM a 4.25 or so easily.
