Ludacris' Discography

Ludacris’ Discography
Ludacris is one of the best dirty south rappers. Here’s a look at his discography.

Battle of the Sexes: Luda’s poorly executed concept album. There are just so many things wrong with this album. There’s a bit too many guests. They include Flo-Rida, Lil Kim, Ne-Yo, Lil Scrappy, Trey Songz, Monica, Nicki Minaj, and Shawna. The only real memorable songs are Can’t Live Without You, My Chick Bad and its remix, and How Low…Sexting is a fun song too.

Theater of the Mind: Luda’s 2008 album was a step in the right direction. He’s having fun, but at the same time showing off his lyricism. T.I. joins him as one of the many effective guest spots. He’s joined by Nas and Jay-z on I Do It For Hip Hop….and Luda holds his own. Even Chris Rock stops by on Everybody Hates Chris. This is Luda’ s latest great album…which is not good. He needs to make another hot song.
A-

Release Therapy: Luda’s 2006 outing isn’t his best, but its not that bad either. It’s a mix of a lot of different kind of songs, but some still end up sounding too similar. Runaway Love, a song about your women running away from bad situations, puts him in 2Pac’s territory. While Woozy and End of the Night puts him in his own lane. The album also features War With God, which disses an unknown rapper. Money Maker and Girls Gone Wild are pretty fun tracks.
B-

The Red Light District: This is a good album with a couple songs that don’t do anything for it. On the plus side Number One Spot and Get Back get the album off to a great start. Luda keeps it real on Large Amounts and Hopeless. The album has really good production also, Child of the Night featuring Nate Dogg is also really good. Virgo featuring Nas and Dougie Fresh is also a lot of fun.
B-

Chicken & Beer: This is arguably Luda’s best album. Its got just about everything you should expect from a Luda album. The album features one of the best rap songs for the ladies, Splash Waterfall. Its got a great party song in the Kanye West produced Stand Up. I really like Hip Hop Quotables and We Got, the later featuring Chingy. Overall it’s a great album but I’m not saying its his best.

Word of Mouth: My favorite Luda album is has more hits on it than most albums. Believe it or not, this was the first album I ever bought. Its dope on so many levels. Its loaded with hits like Saturday, Area Codes, Move Bi***, and Rollout, which is arguably his best song. Freaky Thangs is a bit much, but its an effective song for the ladies which features Jagged Edge and Twista. Cold Outside might be the most boring track, while the last song Block Lockdown, has Welcome to Atlanta with Jermaine Dupri as a hidden bonus track.
A

Back for the First Time: Luda came out of the gates with a somewhat very impressive album. Its got some really good songs like one of my all-time favorite Southern Hospitality. Luda drops a lot of punchlines left and right, but only about 65% of the album is really all that great. What Your Fantasy and its remix are a ton of fun. Phat Rabbit is dope, and HO is a funny song.

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
