It sounds ridiculous to say that
Ludacris was in a slump considering he's been the most consistent emcee in the game, but it was starting to feel like the man was off his game. I think we can all agree
his BET Cypher was lazy at best, and his last
release with Gucci was lame (and not because it was with Gucci). He was still better than 90% of the rappers out there, but watching him flop in a cypher was like watching Lebron miss a dunk - you can't help but start wondering if he was hurt.
Nevermind, turns out he can still go in when properly inspired. Case in point, "
I'm on Fire", the latest release from his upcoming "1.21 Gigawatts" mixtape. It's not his best work ever, but this is the Luda I remember. Thank sweet baby jesus. And (no shots to Mike Will, who put together a perfectly nice beat) while I wish
Big K.R.I.T. threw down the production in addition to a guest verse, I'll take a Krizza/Luda collab any day. I'm now feeling reasonably optimistic about this project.
Oh yeah, and then there's this:
UPDATE: Re-uped with the untagged version. Enjoy.
