The second single is the DJ Toomp produced Wish You Would featuring T.I. The longtime collaboration between two of the best rappers from Atlanta, Georgia is a long time in a making and is well done.

The third single is the Don Cannon produced Undisputed featuring arguably the greatest pound for pound boxer ever Floyd Mayweather Jr. The track features Floyd as the role of almost a boxing corner man while Ludacris lyrically destroys the competition.

On the forth single One More Drink, Ludacris teams with T-Pain. The track finds Ludacris going back to one of his strengths as an artist, his sense of humor. The track features strong production from The Trackmasters and a very strong chorus from T-Pain.

I Do It For Hip Hop teams Ludacris with two of the biggest names in all of rap in Jay-Z and Nas. The song features a catchy beat and exceptionally strong verses from three of the biggest names in all of rap music.

Do The Right Thing features Common and Spike Lee. The track is not what you expect from a typical Ludacris track as it is much more conscious.

On Last Of A Dying Breed, Ludacris is joined by Lil Wayne. The track features both Lil Wayne and Ludacris delivering strong verses over the thunderous production.

Everybody Hates Chris features comedian Chris Rock. The song is also produced by Don Cannon. The song is interesting and different with the Chris Rock cameo.

The Game and Willy Northpole team with Ludacris on Call Up The Homies. The track features a very West Coast feel to it with Luda and The Game trading strong verses.

The legendary DJ Premier produces MVP. The song is just most of the unexpected from Ludacris. The track proves Ludacris is one of the best rappers around.

Overall Theater Of The Mind is yet another strong album from Ludacris that just might be the best of his career. Overall Theater Of The Mind gets 8.5 out of 10. If you are a fan of Ludacris make sure you pick up Theater Of The Mind when it is available in stores on November 25^th.
