Ludacris is more relaxed than ever, his mix of off-the-wall wisecracks and lofty proclamations established immediately after the intro.
There's nothing as squalid as 'Splash Waterfalls,' for instance - the low point of the MC's career, regardless of chart success - and yet, at the same time, there's nothing as immense as 'Stand Up,' and there isn't anything quite as ferocious as 'Southern Fried Intro/Blow It Out.' Bragging, boasting, clowning around, getting high, dispersing words of wisdom - these are the overriding themes.
He still managed to find the time to come out with The Red Light District, an album with content that rarely reflects the illicit-sounding title. Ludacris' never-ending run of guest verses rolled on through 2004 (for better or worse), as did the hit singles from 2003's Chicken -n- Beer.
