    Ummm... yeah. Not feelin' it - music is everything, image is nothing. And this is all image, people. Once the shiny wrapper comes off this baby, you've been had by megamarketing. Save up for some musical taste instead.

    Yo this shizzle is off the dank hook, like smellin yo grandmama's draws. I bumped this in my ride and the whole caddy filled up with sweet meat, I can't get the smell of asstroglide and polo sport cologne out of my sheepskin seat covers.

    Too many cuts are simply one-note jokes stretched out to three or four minutes. [24 Oct 2003, p.104]
  2. When he strikes the right balance of mischievous charm, rapid-fire wit and genial bravado, Ludacris proves why he's at the top of his game. But Chicken -N- Beer too often flashes us threatening glimpses of a less-likable persona behind that avuncular veneer.
  3. When Ludacris promised his new album would cover all bases, he wasn't kidding.
