Ludacris’ sixth studio album “Theater of the Mind” is probably the worst album he has ever put out. You can tell just by looking at the track listing. Almost every song (except for MVP) featured a guest appearance. Generally rappers do this for two reasons. One, Ludacris has ran out of stuff to say so he needed other rappers to help fill up the songs. Two, the album sucks and Luda is trying to put as many big names rappers as possible so he can move units. The thing that was most disappointing was the fact that he’s got the biggest names in the rap game on his album like T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and Nas but can’t manage to make one hot song.

Luda’s last album “Release Therapy” sold 309,800 copies in the first week and 1.9 million overall in the United States. Personally, I don’t think he will be able to sell half of that in the first week considering he’s going up against Kanye and his single “What them girls Like” peaked at #33 on Billboard Hot 100 chart.
(Final Album Rating: 5.75/10)

Album Release Update: Kanye, Ludacris moves up, 50 Cent pushed back

Ludacris’ “Theater of the Mind” and Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” will both be released on November 24th. Originally the albums were set to release on the 25th. But Def Jam execs decided to move it up a day to take advantage of the Thanksgiving shopping week.

Meanwhile 50 Cent’s “Before I Self Destruct” has been pushed back until early 2009. The album was originally set to release on December 16th but 50 Cent felt rushed so decided to push it back and take more time to perfect it. The album will also come with a DVD film featuring 50 Cent as an aspiring basketball star who turns into a criminal after the murder of his mother.

Ludacris to go head-to-head with Kanye

“I feel like my album [is] such a presentation and far different from anything I’ve done. Every song is movie- or TV-based. It’s not just audio, it’s an experience,” Luda said.

Ludacris also has high exceptions for this album adding, “This whole album is going to solidify me in your top five.”

“Theater of the Mind” will be Luda’s 6th studio album, His last album “Release Therapy” debut #1 on the billboard’s chart.
