Ludacris on FDB?!
Ludacris - ‘MVP’ & ‘I Do It For Hip Hop’ feat. Jay-Z & Nas
taken from Theater Of The Mind (Def Jam, 2008)
I gotta say that I didn’t ever anticipate this moment passing, but two of the leaked tracks from Luda’s upcoming Theater Of The Mind are worthy of your attention. The Premier produced ‘MVP’ is extremely dope despite the shabby quality of this radio rip and ‘I Do It For Hip Hop’ has its charms as well with verses from Nas & Jay-Z (nice score Chris). Although most people’s focus is inevitably on the high-profile guest spots here I really like the beat, but would have liked it even more if producer Wyldfyer had let the Mountain drums do the talking solo throughout instead of adding in additional skittering hats and snares. However, I can appreciate that this would have also killed the song’s commercial appeal. Damn those ignorant masses.

i think luda’s always been underappreciated as an emcee due mainly to his image and typical club-banger-style single releases - but all of his albums contain really good material that proves his lyrical skill - many might disagree, but i’d definitely consider luda to be an emcee as opposed to just another throwaway rapper.

I agree with the mountain drums, both tracks are dope as hell. Half of the album is really hot, the rest is so and so… but we all know that Luda can do crazy shit when he really wants to…
