War with God made me think he had a classic coming when it leaked. Once he cut the hair it was never the same tho

I agree about the "War With God" song. I still think people drawing correlations between him cutting his hair and the quality of his music is as corny as any line Luda could've come up with.

What hurt Luda's music is that he started making generic songs to showcase why he should be taken seriously. That and the fact that he stopped working with Bangladesh. Luda also could've benefited from a Timbaland produced album.

I'll put it like this tho. When Luda came and performed at the Ohio State Fair some years back, he didn't perform anything from RT

This song came during the Neptunes wind down. This was the last #1 from them until "Blurred Lines" in 2013. What's finny is "Money Maker" is the only #1 from them that I don't revisit. All the others were bangers even "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani.

He had two more number 1 albums and one of his biggest hits (How Low) AFTER Release Therapy how could he be “done”?

Some of ya’ll just say anything like these things aren’t a simple google search away from being debunked.
Commercially he still had juice but as an artist he fell off a cliff on Release Therapy

LOL he did not. He tried that "I Know What The Girls Like" BS with Chris Brown and flopped like a crepe. Then he had the T Pain single and THAT flopped too (how the fukk you flop with T Pain, in 08; when you JUST had hit collab with him on his album the same year?).

I forced myself to like this being a Luda and Neptunes Stan but yeah this wasn’t it. Red light district he was showing signs of falling off but this album did it despite having a couple of tracks (slap, war with god)
