Take ya seats Ladies & gentleman

Christopher Brian Bridges is undoubtedly one of the best and most successful rappers of the dirty South. Since 2000, Luda is now active in Rapgeschäft and published with his brand new album "Theater of the Mind" is now his 6th studio album on Def Jam South. The DTP label boss who also has a lot of acting experience, had an interesting basic idea for this record. The cover artwork shows Luda relaxed in a movie theater sitting with his boys and also the corresponding Intro is made quite clever. Here stops at the beginning a little crazy boy a kind welcome speech before then Luda times so super losflowt with the call "Light, Camera and Action ..." that there is no stopping them. It continues with the produced by Don Cannon "Undisputed" at the Boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is one of the party. However, the song seems more like a freestyle, as there is no chorus, but Mayweather here always hineinprabbelt some words. But made the Cool Boxsounds the well to the main melody, which is very heavy blues, complete with the ring bell or blows. DJ Toomp smashed in "Wish You Would" a rather gloomy beat on the table, use what Luda and TI reasonably well, although one must say that here because Ludacris makes clearly better impression. The current single "One More Drink" with T-Pain can be found also on "Theater of the Mind" again. A R'n'B charged piece that comes along very smooth and melodic and also T-Pain is at its best. Labelmates Playaz Circle and Miami's Boss Rick Ross can be found on "Southern Gangsta" again, an equally dark track, which is equipped with a slow but very bass beat and containing as only can be seen more. Starts from track 8 "What Them Girls Like" Then a little RnB phase on "theater of the mind". The just-mentioned track, which was also released as a single is likely to be well known to many. The smashige Beat comes across well, is partly replaced by claps and has a oriental-inspired Hintergeundmelodie. Chris Brown returns with his catchy and great sung chorus a perfect performance from what you can not really be said of the second feature Sean Garrett, for his Refrain supplement already sounds a bit odd, considering what he has so on the chest otherwise. After then "Nasty Girl" with Plies and very chilled out and soulful "Contagious" with Jamie Foxx are passing Luda now with Lil Wayne at the start. "Last of a Dying Breed" is the track and a thunderstorm coming here rolling with large selection of unique melodic elements are mixed. Luda kills here as something with its aggressive style and Lil Wayne as a feature finally back without Auto-Tune heard doing really good. One of the greatest producers of Rapgeschichte, we are talking about DJ Premier provided the beat for "MVP". That's really horny East Coast flavor, although unusual for Luda's standards but he makes with his perfect rape a masterpiece of this song. A grandiose Drumbeat and truthful goose bumps you get in "I Do It For Hip Hop" and when you get then to hear even the guests Jay Z and Nas is made. The conclusion is the album with "Do the right thang" whose beat carries the signature of 9th Wonder. An extremly relaxed and melodic piece with trumpets and Flören accompanied, Luda and Common exploit the instrumental to the last detail. In conclusion, I will say: Ludacris shows on "theater of the mind" finally bite properly, the one of him in the last two releases something missing. In addition, Luda also hidden a little too much behind the guests this longplayer - just he fabricated a song solo. Nevertheless, should not only like Ludacris fans find on the album, but also all other who know about halfway in the large and wide world of rap business.
