Chicken - N - Beer

Ludacris’ third album finds the Atlanta rapper dropping some of his slickest bars and most bristly boasts yet. On tracks like “P - Poppin’” and “Hip Hop Quotables”, he rhymes over smoky, bass-heavy funk beats, while the raucous “Blow It Out” is a Southern-fried trunk-rattler. “Stand Up”, meanwhile, is one of his career highlights, as Luda unleashes hell and furiously fires off his trademark one-liners over a punishingly hard club beat from co-producer Kanye West.
