Lets see, what is the easiest way to sum up Ludacris' new mixtape... women, partying, drugs and liquor, and that pretty much does it. If the purpose of this mixtape was to build momentum for his upcoming lp "Ludaversal", Chris Bridges fails miserably with "#IDGAF." "#IDGAF" boast descent production for the most part but Luda fails to deliver lyrically, spitting cliché filled verses, accompanied by suspect hooks. This work displays none of the creativity or risk taking fans have normally come to expect from Ludacris, instead he sticks to the script of drunken nights, chasing women, and popping an occasional molly. Coming in at ten tracks strong, only two records stray from this formula, the Young Jeezy assisted "Raised In The South" and " Mad Fo" which now features Meek Mill and Chris Brown in addition to Swizz Beatz and Pusha T (the original featured verses from Pusha and Luda with a Swizz Beatz hook). The aforementioned "Raised In The South" is the projects best track overall, while the once menacing "Mad Fo" loses a lot of it's luster with the needless addition of verses from Swizz, Meek, and Breezy, each who add little to the track other than length. If your patient enough to sit through those verses there is a light at the end of the tunnel, a punishing verse complete with not so subliminal YMCMB shots from Pusha T, which closes out the mixtape and provides it's brightest moment. One thing is for sure, Ludacris certainly didn't give a (you know) when he put this project together.
Final Grade: F
