"The Preview" - Ludacris
Ludacris released his mixtape “The Preview” today to support his upcoming album “Theater of the Mind.” Luda collaborated with producer DJ Drama to create a mixtape which many fans will appreciate.
I listened to many of the singles released on Defsounds.com which received several positive reviews. I’m a huge fan of Ludacris. In my opinion, he is very underrated. He’s got a brilliant flow and sick punchlines. One thing Ludacris can do that most rappers can’t is that he can make you laugh and be like “Ohhhhh.” Weezy’s got his
quirky punchlines, but Luda’s charismatic power punches after delivering each bar. I think many fans will enjoy this mixtape. It’s got a lot of skits and chatting in between tracks but none that are too long. Radio listeners will enjoy the beats of the popular songs which he remixes, such as “Put On” and “The Boss.” The “Politics As Usual (Obama is Here)” song uses the infamous “Get Buck” beat which is one of the best beats ever made. That track has already stirred controversy on CNN and other political networks. Obama did not “support” the song due to its threat of his reputation. Either way, it’s one of the best tracks on the entire album.
Rating: 4/5
Favorite tracks: “Politics (Obama is Here)”, “I’m A Dog”, “Look What I Got”
