You could see Luda wanted to be taken more seriously as a MC while still having fun in his music, and he executed that very well on this album. This album continued his streak of dope albums, and though it was quite as good as Word of Mouf, I think Luda showcased his versatility on this project without question. If there is one thing that was true about Luda in the early 2000s, it's that he was one of the most consistent rappers during the era. *Disturbing The Peace- Golden Grain (2002) Overall, this has just a few songs that either don't hit the mark or just aren't as dope, but this album is as close to a classic as Luda has gotten. One of my favorite songs comes in the form of a Faizon Love intro, a fast flowing Twista guest verse, a slick Jagged Edge hook, and the humorous yet dope Ludacris lyricism that we've come to love on "Freaky Thangs". Whether it was the hilarity in the skits ("Greatest Hits" skit is absolutely the funniest skit I've ever heard on a Ludacris album), the humor in his songs/verses ( "Move Bitch" is hilarious in its own right just based off the title), or even the upbeat energy that's on most of the singles ("Saturday" comes to mind), Luda delivered. It was the balance between the hits, the more serious songs, and the anthems that makes this his most well rounded album. There was a level of focus in this album that made it his best. I think this is the best Luda album and it's not really close IMO.
