Miss Ladii's Album Review: Ludacris' "Battle Of The Sexes"- Rated D


Ludacris debuts his 7th studio album entitled "Battle of the Sexes" which is a concept album that encompasses views on various topics from the male and female perspective, hence we get the "battle".  The project was originally slated to be a collaboration with former DTP artist Shawnna, however she was released from the label , however the original concept remained.  From the lead single "How Low" which is a classic club banger, I expected this album to have a lot of energy, however I can say that this Luda's efforts did not meet or surpass my expectations.  With features from artists who're considered to be some of the hottest in the game at present (Trey Songz, Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj) along with other R&B veterans such as Monica and Ne-Yo and not to mention production from Swizz Beats, Bangladesh, The Runners and The Neptunes, this album was still lackluster which left me somewhat disappointed.  The majority of the tracks have amazing beats, however Luda's delivery along with with those of his counterparts on the record is nothing extraordinary or anything worth a WOW factor.  Of the 16 tracks on the album, I will say that best tracks are "How Low", "My Chick Bad-Remix" (Featuring Diamond, Trina, & Eve) "Sex Room" (Feat.Trey Songz), "B.O.T.S Radio"  and the comical "Sexting" which spoofs Tiger Woods being in rehab. 


With that being said: Final Grade 5/16  amounts to 31% listener satisfaction and that equals a F but unless i absolutely hate every song on an artists album will i ever rate a project as such so the official Miss Ladii Rating will be a D--Sorry Luda, u gotta come stronger than that in order to win me over .
