He then switches to seduction of the most swaggering brand on the hook-laden, dance-floor bound 'Stand Up.' As with Eminem, the way he allows his goofiness to take sway, it's easy to forget his similarly supreme ability as a wordsmith, but this forgotten secret to his success is evident throughout CHICKEN & BEER, another appealing record from the Dirty South icon.

In 'Southern Fried Intro,' he unabashedly admits to throwing all styles, even pop, into his musical stew, before firing the full-out assault of 'Blow It Out,' a measured, righteous, anthemic response to his doubters and detractors, including an on-point slap at talk show host Bill O'Reilly over their much-chronicled Pepsi flap. No matter what the song, Ludacris steps to the mic like he’s onstage in front of thousands, and no matter what he’s doing on Chicken-N-Beer, he always makes sure it’s a performance.Description : Personnel includes: Ludacris, Shawnna, 8 Ball, MJG, Carl Thomas, Lil' Flip, Lil' Fate, Snoop Dogg, Chingy, I-20, Tity Boi, Dolla Boi.'Stand Up' was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Male Rap Solo Performance.In the year leading up to the release of his third disc, CHICKEN & BEER, Ludacris' distinguished drawl could be heard all over the radio on commanding guest appearance after guest appearance, most notably on Missy Elliott's smash 'Gossip Folks.' Not that he needed any more airplay-his first two major releases already had the Georgian rapper well established as one of the most accomplished Dirty South crossover acts.CHICKEN & BEER is an apt title for the ravenously hungry record with few moments of sobriety, as Ludacris unleashes his most gentle of furies. “Blow It Out,” “Stand Up,” and the nothing-but-punchlines “Hip-Hop Quotables” are definitive Ludacris: pranking us, himself, and everything in between with a bellow that is equal parts country preacher, irate Grandpa, and radio shock jock (Luda got his start as a DJ on Atlanta’s Hot 97.5 FM). He was could switch up his flow for some good-and-raunchy love songs (“Splash Waterfalls”) or Southern-cooked funk (the indelible “Diamond in the Back, an interpolation of William Devaughn’s anthem “Be Thankful For What You Got”), but he is always at his best when the track is bouncing hard and he is free to let it rip. He had completely grown into his persona as the loudest and most lovable mouth in the South, and was stomping across tracks with the tail-swinging ferociousness of a T.

Everything came together for Ludacris on Chicken-N-Beer.
