Data Insight
All fourteen tracks credit Ludacris. The interesting names are the ones underneath: "How Low" carries Carlton Ridenhour, Eric Sadler and Hank Shocklee because it is built on Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise", so the writers of a 1987 record share the credit with a 2010 club single. That sample-driven co-writing is the main way outside names enter this album.
Battle of the Sexes is Ludacris's eighth album, released in March 2010 on Disturbing tha Peace and Def Jam South. It was first planned as a back-and-forth record with Shawnna before she left the label. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number one and is certified gold, with singles "How Low", "My Chick Bad" and "Sex Room".
