Luda's second Def Jam album is arguably his biggest. He abandoned some of the tough talk of Back for the First Time, and replaced it with witty wordplay. "Rollout (My Business)", with a beat courtesy of Timbaland, is one of my favorite Ludacris records ever. That song, along with others (see also "Saturday [Oooh Oooh!] and "Area Codes"), proves he can adapt to any beat and tear it to shreds. The only issue I have with this album is that it runs a bit long. Fortunately, it ends on a high-note with "Welcome to Atlanta" alongside Jermaine Dupri.
