The difference between Nelly and Ludacris to me (who are the latest midwest/south artists to blow up) is that Ludacris seems to be versatile, while Nelly's stuff kinda sounds the same to me. So, I went out and bought this album, and I'm feeling it. I think this album will get a lot of play out in the clubs, on the radio, or at FREAKNIK!!! (I hope to make it this year...)

Anyhow, here are the tracks that matter - pay attention, there are seven of them.

Track #1 - U Got A Problem?: The album starts off strong with a tight beat, and great verbal skill. You'll be happy at once that you spent your money on the Ludacris CD

Track #3 - 1st & 10: (Might be my favorite) This one is just so darn cool...trust me. It just has 'cruisin' written all over it. You just have to hear it and absorb it.

Track #4 - What's Your Fantasy?: Hey, if you haven't heard this yet, you need to escape from the cave that you're living in...

Track #11 - Catch Up: Bay Area all the way...bass, ominous keyboard with an old school Too-Short/West Coast vibe. I like it.

Track #12 - Southern Hospitality: Dope video, dope song. The Alphas, Kappas, Sigmas, Q's, AKAs, Deltas, S.G. Rhos & the Zetas (can't forget the Iotas) will eat this up; So will anyone who can get their groove on. This TIGHT track was hooked up by the team who brought you Jay Z's "I Just Wanna Luv Ya/Give It To Me"

Track #13 - What's Your Fantasy? (Remix): All I can say is that I love Trina. Shawna and Foxy Brown also represent, but all I can say is I love me some Trina; she spit her verse the best.

Track #14 - Phat Rabbit: Okay, this sounds very 1998 to me, but oh well. Timbaland manages to create what might very well become a hit single, if not a Freaknik staple. When he starts going, "East Coast feel me, West Coast feel me" with the baby sounds (Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody"), you've got to smile - it's tight.

So there it is. Everything else on here is filler to me. I'm not neccesarily a Hip-Hop expert per se, but I think can assure you that this is a good album. Yes, I got the edited version, and I know I missed a certain 'garden tool' song, but I'm tired of seeing our people disrespected like that...I know it's all in good fun, but personally, I'm just tired of hearing the "N" word, along with the "B" word and the "H" word.

Now that I've gotten off my soapbox, run out and go get this. It's hot - trust me.

Knyte.

Ludacris' debut is great. It is fresh with a unique sound. He has great skill and some that are even funny. All of the songs are great except for "Get Off Me" w. UGK. The chorus repeats itself annoyingly over and over. The 2 best cuts on the song are "Ho" and "What's Your Fantasy (Remix)". "Ho" has great puns and is funny. Trina and Foxy Brown add to the already great song "What's Your Fantasy". This is well worth the money. Any hip-hop fan would love it.

this whole cd is blazin from start to end. this man gots some tight unheard of lyrics. i like on "hood stuck" were he kinda disses puffy(i almost got signed with puff, puff but i think i'll pass)this cd is definitely worth buying, he definitely established himself as one of the best rappers in the biz with this cd, plus they threw in phat rabbit off timbaland's cd. the beats are tight, and like i said his lyrics are off the hook.

tighest songs: "you got a problem", "game got switched", "whats your fantasy", "ho", "stick em' up", "catch up", "southern hospitality", "get off me", "phat rabbit", man there all tight!

I bought this album because "Ho" was a cult hit in my area and I had never really heard it in full and also because I love "Southern Hospitality." But I never expected this album to be as tight as it was.

The album starts of with U Got a Problem which has a really nice beat and some pretty good lyrics.Some of the best songs include "1&10",the aforementioned 'Ho'which is preceeded by a hilarious skit in which Luda "sings",Southern Hospitality,Mouthin' Off, which is a hot freestyle track and Phat Rabbit.

Ludacris exhibits excellent producing skills and also teams up with Timbaland and The Neptunes. But what seperates Ludacris from other Southern rappers is that he has catchy say anything lyrics that at times make you laugh, he does sorta mention the bling but it's not repetative the way it is in other lyricists raps and he's not intentionally trying to make you do ridiculous things like scream "Oohwee" or make yo' booty shake or anything else like that..it's just hot beats and crazy, "off the hook" lyrics.But for best results you should listen to the samples and make your own decision.
