    On occasion, Ludacris fumbles the ball... but he can certainly mix it with the big boys. [Jan 2002, p.104]
  2. It's crude, certainly, but Ludacris has enough wit and chutzpah to elevate this above the dross.
  3. Unfortunately, the album doesn't quite measure up to its hype and should disappoint those expecting Ludacris to top his past successes.
  4. "Word of Mouf" never quite meets the standard 'Cris set for himself with his debut.

    Luda's second album is filled with filthy, funny and freaky rhymes sure to please any fan of humorous rap, with great beats to bounce to.

Area codes and Move **** are arguably the album's best songs. Full Review »

    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)
