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.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
