“Two Miles An Hour”
PARL
I read somewhere last week that Ludacris' Red Light District
was one of the best rap albums of 2004, but then again they
also said that Nelly offered two of the biggest disappointments
and Eminem had a phenomenal year. Nonetheless that made
me realize that rap is truly at a loss. Ludacris' album
is far from bad but it's just as far from great. It sounds
uncreative and like not much thought was put into it. It's
full of catchy verses and hooks but Blue Berry Yum Yum and
Get Back are more about the beat than about the words. Although
the good to bad ratio is perfect on this album it is very
deceiving. I found it incredibly hard to play this album
straight through without getting bored or losing focus.
Only a couple of tracks really stick out as hits on Red
Light District. Once again the album is not bad, it's just
boring and compared to other Ludacris albums it could be
better.
