    There's still lots of the nasty, freaky humor and grimy lyrics that make Ludacris so much fun.

    With his fashionably foul worldview, Ludacris could indeed be [Redd] Foxx's bastard son, and ''Word'' often seems like nothing so much as an extended Dolemite routine set to hip-hop beats.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    70
    There's a more commercial edge to the beats, as well as a subversive edge you'd expect from an MC who's cribbed from Eddie Murphy routines.
  4. Playlouder

    It's crude, certainly, but Ludacris has enough wit and chutzpah to elevate this above the dross.

    Classic shit. The best dirrrty south -album ever, no doubt about that. Beats, guests, lyrics... U know the deal. I hope that "Release Therapy" could be even better album than this one.… Expand

    This is one of the best CDs I have ever heard. I luv Ludacris's songs. I also like the dog on the cover. I just luv this CD.

    I hate rap, and I hate this guy's message but I must say, he is SOO much better than the others out there (DMX, Dre, and especially 50 cent)
