The album was good, but could have been much better. Best track on it is MVP.
There are a few tracks on the album that should have been replaced with better tracks, I skip em all the time.

Fuck that track. I mean honestly Jay's verse was one of the worst he's ever done. This is probably my least favorite of Luda's CDs. It all seemed half hearted. My favorite track was probably that song with Game (I don't even listen to the complete garbage ass 3rd verse).

But anyways, Jay's verse was one of the worst I've ever heard from him. Luda was just... blah. And Nas was a pure disappointment. That song should have been one of the best tracks Ludacris has ever had on an album and I'd say it's the most mediocre and the biggest disappointmen.

i agree with you guys that he has a couple of tracks on the album that are just ehh and we know luda can put out much better material but albums not bad i like it .. he said each song is suppose to be like telling a movie or something like that and you could picture each song. ( title of album)

but i agree Jay's verse wasn't very good "hip hop helped me wash my rocks, these other rappers couldnt wash my socks"seriously? lol but i like the song overall

i dont think nas was a huge disappointment though why you think that james?

That line of Jay's you just quoted made me laugh soooo hard when I first heard it.

Well Nas lyrically wasn't a disappointment. I mean I've heard better verses from him, but he murdered that song. I was speaking more on the way he delivered it. I mean usually Nas can show a wide range of emotion through a relatively monotone voice. But he just sounded bored in this. And his flow sounded choppy in my opinion. They all did. Like they were swimming against the current of the beat. I had to listen to it again last night and honestly the sub-par nature of Luda and Jay on that track made me go a little too hard on Nas, so I won't say I was disappointed with him, just not impressed like I usually am.

The concept is one of the best concepts he's ever done. It was just poorly executed. I think had Jay not had such a shitty verse it would've been acceptable. He did a lot to ruin that song lol.
