    This is Luda's weakest CD. The Beats really suck, he better come with something more worth listening next time or else I'm gonna start supporting his enemy,T.I. Doesn't compare to Chicken&Beer(10 out of 10).

    Some of the posturing gets a little wearisome after a few rounds, but whatever, we like where the neighborhood's headed.

    Everyone's always complaining about how CD's have too much filler, but this one could use a little more: more big-name guests, more novelty songs and, most of all, more slow jams. It's that rare hip-hop album that might have been better if it had sounded more like a mixtape. [13 Dec 2004]

    Ludacris includes thoughtful rhymes on "Child of the Night" and "Hopeless," but his humor is still his biggest asset and the reason he commands respect. [15 Dec 2004]
