Ludacris Release Date Moved Up
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Change is coming early…to the music industry.
Next week, instead of abiding by the usual CD release date, Tuesday, Island Def Jam Music Group is putting out Atlanta rapper-actor Ludacris’s “Theater of the Mind”, fellow hip-hop favorite Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” and pop-savvy modern rockers the Killers “Day & Age” on Monday, Nov. 24.
This “one-time only trifecta” — as Island Def Jam bills it in the press release —just happens to come three days before Thanksgiving, what retailers know as the biggest shopping weekend of the year.
Anticipating the release of Ludacris’s sixth CD? (See the YouTube videos of the singles from it — “What Them Girls Like” (featuring Chris Brown and Sean Garrett), “Undisputed” and “One More Drink” (featuring an appearance by V-103’s Wanda Smith) BELOW) Think it could outsell Kanye West? Are you one of those music shoppers who actually hits the stores (freestanding or iTunes) traditionally, on Tuesday?

Who cares?? This s** isn’t music. It’s just a bunch of thugs chanting to a drumbeat.

Why do people who do not understand something feel they have to talk down about it? Im sure I wouldnt get away with saying that country is a bunch of whimps in tight pants and boots whining over a “Geeetar” now would I???

Can’t wait for another LUDA CD!!! CD changer still full of LUDA CDs.
The Kanye West CD will be slamming, cause MR WEST is a genius … whether you want to admit it or not.
And this was pure business savvy to have the CDs released prior to the BUSIEST SHOPPING WEEKEND of the year.
Hell … why do you think BEYONCE released hers before that weekend???
Can’t wait to purchase both CDS …

I can’t wait to put this garbage under the leg of a un-even table to level it out.

Peadawg—- That’s something you would do huh!!! Obviously if you bought the cd while you got an un-even table at home, that really shows the true life of a crack head.
I will make sure that I get two copies of each of their cds, one for myself and the other for “Peadawg” mama!!!

I like Ludacris and I have Kanye’s first three albums, but Kanye’s new one is going to be terrible.
