O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" MUSIC REVIEW-LUDACRIS-"RELEASE THERAPY"!!
L.T. Dinwiddie
Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges releases his fifth studio album “Release Therapy” on September 26 and I have to admit that I wasn’t all thrilled to review his latest lyrical project. Though I am proud of Ludacris for his accomplishments in the acting realm, musically he seems to be getting less and less original with each album. His first official album “Back for the First Time” in my opinion is a classic, but if you’re a true hip-hop fan then you can’t deny that he’s lost touch with what made him interesting to begin with. He’s lost the hunger he had to make good music.
His first single “Money Maker” feat. Pharell was completely clichéd, talking about the same things he always does-money, sex, and women. Hip-hop is dying slowly and I expect artists to recharge and reinvent themselves in a genre of music that is becoming stale and boring. Putting it plainly I want to be excited and Ludacris fails miserably with this album. He’s not saying anything that he hasn’t said before. There’s no originality, and it’s very redundant. On a day when other artists like Janet Jackson and Ruben Studdard also have albums on store shelves, I will choose one of their albums rather then this one. “Release Therapy” isn’t even worthy to be a drink coaster.
My rating system is as follows
W.B. - Worth Buying
B.L.-Bootleg It-$5.00
D.L.-Own it on the Low
NXT-Next Album Please (Whack!)

It cant be that bad...Are you sure your not hating?
This aint even the retail tracklisting, and the album was much better then what this guy is talkin about, he must be some old middle aged guy just skimming through songs.
I dont think he is hating. I heard some of tracks...NOT WORTH IT! I was dumbfounded..like LUDA, what the hell happened!!
I will be purchasing JJ's album.
I heard Luda's album and I hate to agree because he is one of my favorite Rappers, but this album is kinda lame. I listend to it on MTV.com and I was bored after 4 songs...
It can't really have success, I feel so.
