"They Sayin' Luda's Back..."

Okay...first my disclaimer: Ludacris is by Far my favorite rapper EVER! I think he is ridiculously underrated...Ludacris is one of the most versatile, creative, and consistent rappers in the industry. And, I know when some people first read that they'll be like "What?!", BUT it's my opinion. I mean, he currently has songs out with Justin Bieber (Baby) and DJ Khaled (All I Do Is Win)...and has been featured with artists ranging from Jesse McCartney to The Game, among others. And if I'm not mistaken, he has sold 20 million albums. So people should stop hating on his success and keep it moving.
Now to Battle Of The Sexes... I think this is throwback Ludacris. Even though his albums, for the most part, have displayed a good mix of good times and real talk, his 7th studio release is reminiscent of his early work (meaning more fun oriented). This effort is more commercial than his recent releases and for that reason I think it'll sell really well.

The "Intro" sets the tempo for the album and makes it clear that it's going to be a fun ride. Then it's on to the club with the platinum single "How Low" and the good times continue to roll with tracks, "Everybody Drunk" feat. Lil' Scrappy and "Party No Mo" feat. Gucci Mane who to my surprise didn't ruin the song...because Luda didn't let him rap! LMAO (thank goodness).

Dime Divas (as Keri Hilson calls them) get their shout outs on the 2nd single "My Chick Bad" featuring Nicki Minaj (whom I don't particularly care for, but did her thing). On the "My Chick Bad (Remix)", which Ludacris calls The P***y Rules The World version, Diamond, Trina, and Eve hold it down.

Relationships are discussed on tracks "I Know You Got A Man" feat. Flo Rida, and "Hey Ho" feat. Lil' Kim (she killed it) which addresses double standards. "Can't Live With You" feat. Monica is self-explanatory and chronicles the back and forth, should I go should stay questions about relationships. On "B.O.T.S. Radio" feat. Shawna and Lil' Fate both perspective are expressed about various scenarios in relationships.

As demonstrated on past tracks such as "Woozy" and "Contagious", Ludacris knows how to talk about a woman! And, he doesn't disappoint us female fans on this album. On "I Do It All Night" feat. Shawna they brag and go back and forth about their sexual capabilities. The following track "Sex Room" feat. Trey Songz......I don't really know what to say (you should just listen to it!)....very grown and sexy, and very smooth. "Feelin So Sexy" feat. Shawna is another sexy track portraying Shawna as a woman enticing her man, and on the next song "Tell Me A Secret" feat. Ne-Yo has Ludacris talking to his woman encouraging her to tell him a secret so that he can further please and satisfy her.

On the last track of the album, "Sexting" (which made me LOL), Ludacris pokes fun at Tiger Woods' marital issues, and is portraying a sex addict struggling to cope with his condition.

All in all this album is fun and also manages to keep it real as it relates to relationships. It has a lot of potential singles and I hope it does well for him. Even though the whole album is solild I figured I'd pick some favorites so here goes:
"Sex Room"
"How Low"
"I Know You Got A Man"
"Can't Live Without You"
"Tell Me A Secret"
"Everybody Drunk"
"Hey Ho"
"My Chick Bad(Remix)"
I will be jamming this for a while. This turned out to be kinda long....hope this helps.
