Ludacris’s latest album, “The Battle Of The Sexes”, is basically sex, drugs, parties, and texting all in one CD consisting of 15 tracks of club party music on which Ludacris demonstrates his trademark humor and energetic style.

Overall, this album of raunchy erotica you can snap your fingers to deserves 3.5 out of 5 stars, strictly because, while his album starts out strong with his intro, which to me should have been a song on its own, and his instant club banger, “How Low”, the strength of the album diminishes almost instantaneously, a decline exemplified by the song “Sexting”.

Life is a beautiful and fragile gift often taken for granted. There are countless experiences to be fulfilled and only a lifetime to live. Everyone wants to feel something rare and spectacular while living on planet earth. But how many people actually find the opportunity to do so? After years of living with restrictions, rules, standards, and expectations it makes you wonder how many of your decisions are made by you. Or is the average life lived the way society intends it to be? Hopefully not.

What if circumstances were different and you only had one day to live? What would your last most important experiences be? Would you sky dive or write a novel? Would you leave something behind? Or take something with you? What do you want to do before you die?

As a former member of boy group B2K, Omarion didn't inspire fans to have much confidence in his achieving success as a solo act. However, his album The Ollusion exceeds many fans’ low expectations.

From wikipedia:
Dock Phillip Ellis, Jr. (March 11, 1945 – December 19, 2008) was a Major League Baseball player who pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates, among other teams. His best season was 1971, when he won 19 games for the World Series champion Pirates and was the starting pitcher for the National League in the All-Star Game. However, he is perhaps best remembered for the claim that he threw a no-hitter in 1970 while under the influence of LSD.

No-Hitter
Ellis pitched a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres on June 12, 1970 despite being, as he would admit in 1984, under the influence of LSD throughout the course of the game. Ellis had been visiting friends in Los Angeles under the impression he had the day off and was still high when his friend's girlfriend told him he had to pitch a game against the Padres that night. Ellis boarded a shuttle flight to the ballpark and threw a no-hitter despite not being able to feel the ball or clearly see the batter or catcher. Ellis claims catcher Jerry May wore reflective tape on his fingers which helped Ellis to see his target. Ellis walked eight, struck out six, and was aided by excellent fielding plays by second baseman Bill Mazeroski and center fielder Matty Alou. During the game, teammates are reported to have commented to Ellis on the bench between innings that he was pitching a no-hitter, despite the superstition that discourages mentioning a no-hitter while it is in progress. Because the no-hitter was the first game of a double header, Ellis was forced to keep track of the pitch count for the night game.
