A year after releasing the platinum selling
Chicken & Beer, and his conflict with Fox News’
Bill O’Reily, Ludacris is back with his fourth
album titled Red Light District. Many people
wonder, “What is the Red Light District?” Sadly,
The Red Light District is not about the carefree
section of Amsterdam, Holland with hookers and
cheap sex. It’s more of “a state of mind where
there’s no limitations, and me trying to do
different things, and being creative and wild,”
said Luda. He makes up for his false advertising
with his overwhelming music.
He is undeniably
one of the most ingenious lyricist to come from
the south. Track for track he delivers
satisfaction. Rhyming about life’s finer things
has always been his strength, but the only
difference with this album is that most of it is
somewhat believable, but some lyrics still seem
kind of exaggerated.
This
album features some of the best including DMX, DJ Quik, Nate Dogg,
Timberland, Nas and others.
The DJ
Latern produced “The #1 Spot” which samples Austin Powers theme
music is defiantly one of the better songs on the album. Other
notable tracks include the single “Get Back” produced by KLC, Large
Amounts, Pass Out, Hopeless featuring Trick Daddy and the hilarious
skit, which was composed by Raybezzie, Rockell Minor and Ludacris.
There were also some songs like Blueberry Yum Yum featuring Sleepy
Brown that were appalling.
Overall
the album was enjoyable. But if compared to his previous albums, it
defiantly wouldn’t be the better one.
