'''''Theater of the Mind''''' is the sixth upcoming [[studio album]] by [[United States|American]] rapper [[Ludacris]]. It is scheduled to be released on November 25, 2008.<ref>[http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_news.php?artist_id=308&news_id=106324 Ludacris official website]</ref>
== Fictional? ==
Maybe I'm just being naïve or maybe I'm playing Devil's Advocate, but by what grounds is the [[Chappelle's Show]] bit ruled "fictional?" Is there any source for this assumption? It was not presented as fiction, especially considering they had Rick James appear on the show. I'm not going to sweep it away just yet, but I'd like to get some discussion going on this. --[[User:Feitclub|Feitclub]] 06:39, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)


==Background==
:They had Rick James appear on the show to help the joke go across. It's all obviously scripted and fiction. --[[User:B Touch|b. Touch]] 06:43, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The album was slated for release on October 21, but was pushed back to November 25. In April 2008, a song named "Stay Together" appeared on xxlmag.com;<ref>[http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=20680 Ludacris "Stay Together" audio.]</ref> supposedly from the new album. [[DJ Toomp]] has also worked on this album.<ref>[http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=19317 DJ Toomp: Grammy Family]. Accessed July 6, 2008.</ref> [[T.I.]] will also be appearing on a track called "Wish You Would".<ref name=wishyouwouldmtv>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1592463/20080808/ludacris.jhtml Ludacris, T.I.

The first single "[[What Them Girls Like]]" was released on August 7, 2008. The single "co-stars" [[Chris Brown (entertainer)|Chris Brown]] and [[Sean Garrett]].
:Again, I don't know how "obivious" it is. I think the notion that this might be a true story is entirely plausible, but I also find it believably fictional. Has anyone clarified this is an interview or something? --[[User:Feitclub|Feitclub]] 22:43, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)


The second single "[[Wish You Would]]" was released on September 2, 2008. The single "co-stars" T.I.
::On the DVD release of the second season of Chapelle's Show, there are extended interviews about the altercations between Charlie Murphy and Rick James. According to the extended interviews, Rick doesn't agree with Charile's retelling 100%, but does go on to affirm how much of a close family friend Rick was to the Murphy's and vice versa [[User:216.206.178.36|216.206.178.36]] 13:45, June 5, 2006 (UTC)

:::: It's hard to believe any of the incidents in the sketch are true, after all the show is a comedy. Do you see people adding the events of the infamous Wayne Brady sketch as factual information? I doubt it, until it's proven that all of the incidents are true or untrue it should be seen as nothing more than what it appears to be, a comedy sketch.

==''The Preview''==

{|class="wikitable"
From 1978 - 1981, I was a member of a celebrity roller-skating club, Skataway. Every Monday we would skate at Sherman Square in Canoga Park, then move the party to the El Privado Club on the Sunset Strip.

!Title
Not only did I have many opportunities to observe Rick James, on one occasion I had a shoving match with him and his entourage exactly along the lines of Charlie Murphy's depiction. My surprise about the sketch was wondering how Dave could be so accurate since at the time he was seven years old or less.
!Featured guest(s)
!Written by
As for the shoving match: I, who am Black, was dancing with my white girlfriend. One of Rick's people came over and said, "Rick says he's surprised that you're dancing with a white woman!" Frankly, I didn't know Rick knew I existed. My reply, "Tell Rick, I'm surprised he's dancing with a girl!" Exploding over to fight me, there was pretty much the "I'm Rick James, bitch!" exclamation, as his people prevented an actual fight.

If James' listed birthdate is correct, then he was 16 when he went to Canada in the summer of 1964. Also, if he was doing weekend training, then he was in the US Navy reserve, not the active navy. --[[User:Blainster|Blainster]] 22:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Pfft. That's ridiculous.

== This page needs a lot of cleanup ==

As usual, I'm not the expert here, but this page needs some major restructuring to shorten or remove inconsequential stuff and to expand the treatment of James's actual musical accomplishments during his most active and successful period, 1979-86 or so. Suggestions of what an expert might contribute:

* A discography

* A deeper discussion of James's different albums

* A discussion of James's production work for Motown with the Mary Jane Girls and others

* A discussion on James's revival of Motown's good fortunes after a few lean years, and possibly his role as "the last huge black artist with little impact in the white mainstream" (before Soundscan, in other words)

* A removal of references to games and samplings and a shortening of the Chapelle's Show reference

* A discussion on James's long term impact (paved way for Prince and others, coined term "Punk Funk", etc.)

* Abbreviating the early career material and late career material that currently takes up over twice as much room as the "main career" bit...
