Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

I think I'm gradually deciding that I really like "Act a Fool," the new single by Ludacris. The beat is decent, not stellar, but sounds great coming out of your speakers (and on the radio, it whomps almost everything around it). The key, however, is how great Luda's voice sounds. I love hearing him rap, the way words just tumble and trip off his tongue as he do them thangs. His knack for wordplay is only matched by Jay-Hova, I think. And like Simon has pointed out previously, most of the time, Luda's tracks are on some serious future shit, even moreso than folks like Prefuse 73 (whose new album is pretty damned fine).
