My Thoughts: Ludacris, the Mouf of the South

I meant to make this Luda's b-day which was this month. Luda is a high energy dirty south rapper. He was actually one of the few rappers that got me into rap, along with Jay-z ,Ja Rule and Eminem.

I really couldnt feel What's Your Fantasy due to me only being 11 or 12 at the time it came out. Southern Hospitality tho...that was the record. In late 2001 i bought my first album Word of Mouf, along with 2 other Source greatest hits albums. Now that was a while ago.

After that I was a certified fan of Ludacris aka Chris Bridges. Lighting struck twice in 2003 with Chicken & Beer. Ironically I bought that with Jay-z's Black Album but it held its own. After that Luda was basically my favorite rapper. Things would change going forward tho.

In 2004 Luda dropped another album Red Light District....and by then I had his first album too. BOth albums were good but not great. After 2005 Luda came out with Release Therapy. In 2006 I was off to be a freshman at college. Listening to the album it was clear that Luda was going through some changes, as was I.

In 2008 he dropped Theater of the Mind, which was a great album. It seemed like Luda was back in his prime. However in 2010 he dropped his worst album Battle of the Sexes. I didnt hate it, but it sucked lol.

This year he dropped Ludaversal which i loved. Peep the review here: http://maxreviewsandthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/04/album-review-ludacris-ludaversal.html

Luda is a great rapper, who's only competition career wise is T.I. in the dirty south. I hope he makes another great album in the future.

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
