Theater of the Mind is the sixth studio album by American hip hoprapperLudacris.[1] It was released on November 24, 2008.[2] Ludacris calls the album 'theatrical.'[3]

Background

The album was slated for release on October 21, but was pushed back to November 22. In April 2008, a song named 'Let's Stay Together' appeared on xxlmag.com;[4] supposedly from the new album. It is now an iTunes bonus song on Theater of the Mind. Toomp has worked on this album.[5]T.I. appeared on a track called 'Wish You Would'.[6]

The album cover was released on October 24, 2008 at wemix.com. The cover is an homage to Sly and The Family Stone's Life album, which had the band appearing as all the cinemas goers in the picture.

Ludacris planned on releasing a sequel to this album in 2009.[7]

In ’09, I’m definitely dropping another album. I’m working on a Battle of the Sexes album and a Theater of the Mind 2. With Battle of the Sexes, I’m trying to do some stuff with Shawnna.'

Ludacris has been talking to T.I. and Young Jeezy about a tour together.[8]

'I haven't confirmed anything yet. It's little talks here and there. But I'll put it out there: I would love to do a tour where it's me, T.I. and [Young] Jeezy. Me, Tip and Jeezy would be outrageous. But nothing is confirmed at the moment.'

Guests

Ludacris stated before the release of the album that, rather than featuring 'guests', the tracks would have 'co-stars', in keeping with the concept of the album as a 'movie'.[6] 'Co-stars' on Theater of the Mind include Nas, Plies, Jay-Z, T.I., Common, T-Pain, Willy Northpole, Rick Ross, Playaz Circle, Ving Rhames, Chris Rock, Spike Lee, Chris Brown, Sean Garrett, Lil Wayne, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Jamie Foxx, and The Game. [9]

The Preview

Ludacris released a 'Gangsta Grillz' mixtape with DJ Drama called The Preview. The mixtape was released as a download on July 28, 2008. This mixtape is known for the disses toward George Bush, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain (since Ludacris supports Barack Obama).

Leaks

On October 24, 2008, three songs from Theater of the Mind, 'Do the Right Thing', co-starring Common and Spike Lee, 'I Do It for Hip Hop', co-starring Jay-Z and Nas, and 'Last of a Dying Breed', co-starring Lil Wayne were leaked to the Internet. Ludacris commented on the situation:

Although I don't know where the leaks came from, the 3 songs leaked to the Internet today were unfinished tracks and premature versions of songs. I'm glad that my fans are excited about the new project, but to get the final masterpiece, the album Theater of the Mind premieres on November 24.[10]

The Leaked version of 'Last of a Dying Breed' had a different set of verses during all of Ludacris' parts.

Chart performance

Though the album was well received by music critics, it debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, selling 214,000 copies in its first week. It was his first album since 2001's Word of Mouf to not reach number one status, and his lowest charting album since his debut. To date, the album has sold about 671,000 copies, achieving a gold certification.[11]
