Ludacris will bring his Release Therapy concert home tonight, as he attempts to disturb the peace at The Tabernacle. Luda's in the backstretch of his two-month tour which concludes in mid-October.
Not sure if we'll see the rest of the DTP family on stage with him but it's a good bet that we'll see a few squad members on stage at some point.
The album is doing big numbers as expected, and this tour provides a fitting close to a big week for 'Cris.
I hear lots of talk on which Ludacris album was his best etc... So here's how Release Therapy ranks among his previous efforts.
1. Word of Mouf - Came out the gate on some Flo-Jo ishh
2. Release Therapy - When all is said and done, one of the most complete albums done in a while)
3. Chicken -n- Beer - Neck and neck with Word of Mouf to be honest
3. Red Light District - I like it but I expected more from top to bottom
4. Back For The 1st Time - Raw Luda, I think he was finding his style and where he wanted to take things
All in all, no shortcomings on any of his albums. They were were all consistent star-material, the main reason he is who he is too...consistency. The funny thing is, you can arrange these album in any order and still have a legitimate reason for doing so. That's what I mean by consistently dropping bombs.

"luda always bring the fire and we going to show yall why the south running things bc we support our own so before anybody talk about hip hop died nall nigga you stop supporting real hip hop quit downloading for your ipod and buy a fucking cd"
region support has nothing to do with why people say hip hop died. It has to do with how many people and artist feels it's more a business than ever before. Also, region support has nothing to do with the way hip hop is the way it is. Listen to Hollywood divorce and tell me that's not what's happening to the game. Btw LUDA is from chicago :-).

Just because an artist was born in a certain city doesn't mean that they can't establish their life in and rep another city while their young. Snoop Dogg was born in Mississippi.

Better yet Check KILLER MIKE - DEUCES WILD. If that track right there dont catch on then hiphop is done. Thats how southern gansta ish should be done!!!!!
Posted by: illone at September 29, 2006 10:55 AM
Luda is straight fire when he's featured on another artist's track, but his albums are a little inconsistent. Bar for bar I believe he's still one of the best in the game though, but I thought Chicken N Beer was a lil mediocre. Word of Mouf was hot and so was Back For The First Time. I don't own Red Light District so I can't comment on that.

In this week's Pulse Report, the streets are buzzing about Jay-Z serving Jim Jones a diss record, Young Buck declaring war on Cash Money and warning The Game, D4L going off on Nas and Method Man saying "fuck everybody."
1. Jay serves Jim Jones. Well, apparently Hov can't keep his mouth shut. It's one thing to address Jones on Funk Master Flex's Hot 97 NYC radio show, but Capo isn't even on Jay's level. Why give him a diss record? Nonetheless, "Brooklyn High" leaked yesterday (November 16). Using Jones' "Fly High" instrumental, Jigga keeps Jones on the hook and shouts "Brooklyn" over Jim's "Ballin'" hook. The God emcee's jabs did land several times. "Brooklyn get paper/tote big things/we chase niggas around their own ball games/(Rucker)," he snapped in reference to Jones and Cam'ron allegedly getting jumped at Harlem, NY's Rucker Park. Jiggaman's onslaught continues in the second verse, as he attacks Capo's capital. "Your bank versus mine/if you ballin, nigga what I'm doing can't be defined/the Joneses can't keep up/maybe my nigga Nas, but I got stronger after ether," Hov spit. Mr. President doesn't let up, finishing off Jones by flipping his basketball analogy against him, offering "I'm ballin for real/you're pump fakin it/Manhattan keep on makin it/Brooklyn keep on takin it."
2. Buck to take on Cash Money and The Game. Buck doesn't talk smack. So the Cashville, Tennekkee rapper has grown tired of people asking him to comment on reports that Baby and Lil' Wayne play tonsil hockey. "I ain't trying to really continue speaking on that shit," an irritated Buck recently sighed on Sirius' Shade 45 channel. "For the average man, period...that's just something that don't float our fucking boats, man. Your lips don't go on no other man in no kind of fashion and I don't give a fuck if it was a fucking mafia shit."
Minutes later, Buck's commentary grew agitated when he revisited his days with Cash Money. Word is Baby and company gave the G-Unit soldier the run around back in the day, leaving him hanging at the Cash Money office several times. Buck then detailed that after leaving with Juvenile, he next saw Baby moments before picking up an MTV Video Music Award, years later. "Payback's a bitch, nigga," Buck shouted excitedly. "I've been real calm on them niggas. I ain't been wanna say nothing cause I know if one of them niggas say something towards Buck, I'm a end they fucking career. We can rap it out or we can play it in the streets.
"I'll Ja Rule them niggas over there, so leave me alone, nigga," he continued. "You think you got a problem with Juvey and B.G.; you'll have a true problem with me." Buck even expressed interest in signing Cash Money nemesis Gillie Da Kid. "Shout out to Gillie, nigga. I'm trying to sign you too," the Tennessee titan declared. "Gillie if you listening right now, nigga...I got a lane over this way. It's payback. Fuck it! I'm setting off the fucking war right here." Of course, Buck couldn't leave the station without licking a few shots Game's way. "And fuck you too Game for that last mixtape you put out," he burst. "I'ma tell you like this sucker.. Nigga, one minute you're talking about squashing shit and the people is even getting confused with your bi-polar looking like you having ass, nigga. One minute you're talking about, I don't wanna no problem with 50. Then the next minute you on a mixtape talking about, [Lloyd] Banks' sales... Like you the reason his sales and shit got a low first week or something. You a fucking bitch, boy. And when I catch you on these streets, nigga. I'm not gon talk."
3. D4L's Fabo goes off on Nas. With Nas' album dropping in roughly a month, the "Is hip-hop dead?" debate isn't likely to go away anytime soon. Recently, SOHH caught up with D4L and asked them to weigh in on God's Son LP title. While most members kept their answers short, D4L front man Fabo provided a, let's say... elaborate answer. "If everybody mind they own damn business then my momma be aight cause...the only reason why I do this shit, I don't do it for him. I do it for me and my family and my momma proud of me, not him," Fabo explained. "So if I didn't do hip-hop or whatever he wanna call it or anybody else wanna call it, then he gon take care of me? Cause I'm a grown man. I gotta do what I gotta do to feed my family, so whatever the hell I'm doing, I'm grown. Stay the hell out of mine." Wait, wait. The boy Dot said that Fabo walked away from the SOHH cameras only to come back and add an exclamation point, saying, "I wish a motherfucker would!"
4. Meth blows a fuse. Years removed from his prime, Method Man has been painted as a bitter, out of touch rapper in recent months. It is now common to read or hear Meth complain about the lack of support he's received from Def Jam, radio stations or media outlets. And now, Meth is complaining that people say he's complaining too much. Go figure. During a recent performance, Tical vented some more and shared one of the back stories that lead to his disgruntled state. Apparently, Meth sent BET a tape on which he got a crowd to scream, "Fuck Kelly Griffin," (a reference to BET's TK), during one of his concerts. He believes the tape was the beginning of his end.
He also took the stage as a platform to give hell to anyone who has labeled him "bitter" or a "mad rapper." [Check the clip here.] Dude even concluded by hinting that he'll whoop a tail or two if anyone steps out of line. "I'm just defending my motherfucking self, so fuck they life," Meth told the audience. "That go for Vibe [magazine], that go for Source [magazine], that go for XXL [magazine], Hot 97 and any other motherfucker that wanna jump on the Meth's bitter bandwagon." Word? Fuck me too then.

Jerrmaine Dupri served as executive producer of the album. The first single is "On Some Real S***" featuring Rick Ross, and the beat on that joint is fire. I still haven't figured out where this alliance is headed, I know that there is a plan, I just haven't put my finger on it.
I'm confused because I thought that the record would have more of JD's influence with respect to the records overall flavor. It still sounds like "traditional" Daz Dillinger production and flow. Therefore, I guess their arrow is aimed out to the west coast.
Now on the production end of things, there's no denying Daz's skills, arguably Top 5 in the game right now. Afterall, he did learn from THE BEST in Dr. Dre. But lyrically....I'm telling you, can you imagine a Daz beat alongside some Redman, Lil Wayne, or T.I. vocals (on a full album).
The So So Gangsta album is a follow-up to Daz' 2000 sophomore disc "R.A.W.," which was released through his indie label Dogg Pound Records.
JD relocated So So Def to Virgin last January when he was named president of urban music at the label.
My ultimate question is this... Will Daz be able to push units here in Atlanta? Will we ever recognize a West Coast artists for his skills, and not his accent?

wtf?! top 5, u gotta be fuckin wit us right? ne way ima still cop this daz album
Posted by: dtp at September 28, 2006 11:37 AM
To me THE DAZ PRODUCTION CARRIES THE ALBUM. Most of the JERMAINE DUPRI SONGS ARE WHAT FUCK IT UP. Why is he in the background ad libbing on half the songs when it could easily be Snoop, Kurupt etc. Dogg Pound have their own style of ad libs and how they make songs. PICTURE JERMAINE DUPRI DOING YOUNG JEEZY'S AD LIBS INSTEAD OF HIM.
I'm glad it's balanced though. Jermaine Dupri should be trying to go ahead and get a piece of the west coast sound while they get money - not the other way around.
And you're right DAZ IS DEFINITELY A TOP 5 PRODUCER - THE MOST SLEPT ON.

about time SOHH is givin the west some spot light......thank you blog writer!
and the album is fire(a couple of skippers),but fire nonetheless.
the beat for the song "All I Need" is heated along wit "On Some Real Sh*t".
The collabo wit Kurupt is clean too...
Props to the blog writer for shining some light on the left coast. peace!

CAtoNY,
Just for your clarification, we have a whole blog dedicated to the West Coast, SOHH Left Coast... http://blogs.sohh.com/leftcoast
