Any keepers?

"I'm on fire" for sure!

[13th Duke]

I was impressed with it as a mixtape. Its better than his last album (the awful 'Battle Of The Sexes') thats for sure.

1. Intro - 4.25/5. This beat is dope. Typical Luda intro, he's REALLY spitting on here. Love it!
2. Save it for Another Day - 3.5/5. Beat is cool, hook is alright. This joint is alright, Luda's voice sounds kinda weird (distorted).
3. Rich & Flexin' - 4/5. This beat is dope as fuck. Luda kills it too. I don't like Waka but he sounds great on this.
4. Muthafucka Can U Buy That - 3.75/5. Haha I knew right away about this joint. It's alright all around.

5. History Lessons (Skit) - N/A.
6. Bada Boom - 4.25/5. Is this 9th Wonder? I'm diggin' this. Definitely one of the better joints so far. Who's he dissing at the end of this?
7. Say it to my Face - 4.5/5. Woah, this Juicy J beat is a mothefucking monster. This is definitely the best joint so far. I like Meek Mill on here too.
8. I Ain't the One - 4/5. Was surprised to not see a Luda/2Chainz collab on TRU REALigion so nice to see one here. This is pretty tight.

9. Shake & Fries - 4/5. Haha Gucci's hook is alright actually. Beat fits it well. Definitely will bump in the whip.
10. Do Sumthin' Strange - 4.25/5. Love me some Drumma Boy with Luda/Ross. Haha love the hook. I can dig it!
11. I'm On Fire - 4.5/5. This is that shit right there. Shocked it ain't a KRIT beat. One of the better tracks for sure. KRIT's verse is big time on point. Flow is too clean!

12. What U Smoking On - The Credits have Wiz featured but he isn't actually on it; they fucked up, you can replace this version with the Wiz version if you'd like here:
http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ludacris-what-u-smokin-on-prod-by-big-k-r-i-t-full-version-song.570635.html

4.5/5. This is a KRIT beat and it's fire! The hook is repetitive but is smooth and fits the beat well. Luda's tone is clean on here and flow dope too. Wiz spits dope as fuck too, fits the beat real well.

This is a very good mixtape, better than almost all of Luda's albums basically lol.

Best tracks:
I'm On Fire
What U Smoking On
Say it to my Face

Good tracks:
Intro
Rich & Flexin'
Bada Boom
I Ain't the One

Is this original tracks or a mixtape mixtape?

HipHopDX is tryna pass off "Badaboom" as a diss to Drake. Can't be though.

Well he has lines about starting shit online & talked about money. Maybe Big Sean, but there is no sense talkin' money with Drake.

He ends the song saying "Say it to my face" & then the next song on the tape is "Say It To My Face". What has Drake said about Luda?

"Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, 'I shut 'em down. Onyx.' I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like...I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music). That's the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I'll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don't want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on "Forever." Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They're all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don't want to offend somebody...I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] "It's a parade! MACY'S!" (All Hip Hop)

drake been slick dissin alot of people...hell the 1st song on his new album..is a big sean diss...listen to sean's i do it..then listen to over my dead body..

the overall diss itself is drake..n sean..diss..because sean has said the samething even said ludas name

the endin commentary is aimed at field mob...they had a diss song on the brother 2 brother mixtape..talkin bout not gettin paid..

[Chamillitary Click]

Wow, maybe it is a diss. I wish Luda would just say it though. Hip Hop needs mainstream beef. Wayne & Jay would have been sick, but nobody is tryna lose fans.

[3rd Coast]

yeah even be4 the diss came on..

liuda went back in time showcasin everybody that used the style be4 sean n drake..were even thought of

from himself as a kid..to method man n q-tip

[LAZY]

REAL good mixtape, its pretty much a free album, better than Battle of the Sexes. & It sounds good in the car

& Lunatic, the version i got has Wiz Khalifa on the last song. i downloaded mine from hotnewhiphop

[Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation)]

Ludacris is easy to listen to. i dont like mixtapes, but luda deserved a rotation, cause he is hella entertainin, and a short 12-song tracklist is good enuff for me

lyrics were funny, but i didnt like the proudction at all,, (the sampled "giggy gagga googoo"-vocals from Justin "cry me a river"
,,,,best songs-- "say it to my face" n "mudafuca can u buy dat"
