He’s just a bit naughty.” Christopher Bridges, better known as Ludacris, seems to want to prove that statement very badly as he rhymes, swaggers, and even moralizes through his latest album “Theater of the Mind.” “Theater” is a thematic album (though the theme behind it seems to be mood swings), with songs that “co-star” artists...
