CRITIC REVIEWS
75
With his fashionably foul worldview, Ludacris could indeed be Foxx’s bastard son, and ”Word” often seems like nothing so much as an extended Dolemite routine set to hip-hop beats.
70
There's something here on Word of Mouf for everyone, signaling Ludacris' leap from the Dirty South underground to the pop-rap mass market.
70
There’s a more commercial edge to the beats, as well as a subversive edge you’d expect from an MC who’s cribbed from Eddie Murphy routines.
70
Unfortunately, most of the other 16 tracks are nothing more than sexual rants and hometown raves that fail at taking this ATLien to that next level.
60
Oddly enough, Word of Mouf alternates between bleak, nearly joyless hardcore and verbalistic hip-hop slapstick.
Hard souther hip-hop bangers, Ludacris does more pop rap now, but his older more grimy shit went hard AF.
Top 5 Tracks: Coming 2 America, Growing Pains (Best), Go 2 Sleep, Area Codes, Freaky Thangs
Album is pretty much a continuation of Back for the First Time. Doesn't really switch up the formula too much but it's Luda executing what he's known to do even better.

Luda has so many blackout performances- so many great hook ideas- great beat selection across the board.
But, good Lord, the skits can go to hell.
