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.
