Ludacris

The corn rows may be gone, but Luda's winning formula is otherwise intact on Release Therapy. He delivers horny hubris on "Girls Gone Wild," affects a crazily coiled flow for the creeping electro banger "Ultimate Satisfaction," lashes out at soft-target Chingy on "Tell It Like It Is" and strings together enough folksy-funny one-liners to resurrect Red Fox. And while Luda impresses, R. Kelly nearly steals the show on "Woozy" when he reveals that he's "always wanted to go down on a girl who reminds me of me." Um, okay.
