Ludacris is a hip-hop superstar, but I feel like he is still underrated as an emcee. His punchlines are crazy and he can destroy any beat that he rhymes over. Mr. Birdges took note of this and crafted a theatrical piece for his 6th album. I think it is some of the best work that he has released to date. The song with Floyd Mayweather [Grand Rapids stand up!] ("Undisputed") is my favorite and the fact that he did a song with Jay-Z and Nas together is legendary. Luda also made history by being the first southern rapper on a Premo beat [wherein he got a beat from Premier for his own album, Scarface appeared on Gangstarr's "Betrayal" in '98]. And, in my opinion, he outshines Lil Wayne on "Last of a Dying Breed" with one of the best lyrical displays and impassioned deliveries that I've ever heard from him.
