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

    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. AllMusic

    Unfortunately, the album doesn't quite measure up to its hype and should disappoint those expecting Ludacris to top his past successes.

    On occasion, Ludacris fumbles the ball... but he can certainly mix it with the big boys. [Jan 2002, p.104]

    It's crude, certainly, but Ludacris has enough wit and chutzpah to elevate this above the dross.
  7. Billboard
    50
    "Word of Mouf" never quite meets the standard 'Cris set for himself with his debut.

At first I was skeptical about the album because it had big shoes to fill from his first release. Not only did it fill the shoes, but went above and beyond where he needed to be. "Freaky thangs" and "It's cold outside" are two songs I wouldn't be surprised to hear on the radio soon. Congrats luda on another chart-topping LP!… Expand

    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.

    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)
