Alpha step, omega step. What a charmer. With the exception of the mediocre Ludacris track and maybe a few too many skits and that interminable life story tacked on to the end of "Last Call" and the bizarre equation of college grad = loser virgin, it's a swell album.
Ludacris has been sounding very raspy, lately. He sounds downright hoarse on the Kanye album, and like he's been smoking too many Marlboros on certain parts of Chicken-n-Beer.
