I love Ludacris. He is one of the best rappers of all time, in my honest opinion. Ludacris is multi-talented. He can be serious, sexy, funny and fierce. He can tear his opponents up in a battle but he can turn on the ladies. He can be sweet and sympathetic and inspirational as well.
Many people say that hip-hop music is sexist and that women aren't treated properly in the lyrics or the videos. Speaking as a woman who grew up in the ghetto, I love hip-hop music and I don't feel thata specific song is aimed at me in particular, or any woman that I know. I love Ludacris and when he calls a woman a b**** or a h**, I know that he's not talking about me. It's the way he expresses himself, and unfortunately, its the way that many people speak in the hood. Women parading around in skimpy outfits in a video don't get any sympathy from me, either. There are plenty of women like that outside my front door so I'm not going to object to a rapper putting a willing female into his video.
Anyway, I didn't mean to preach in this review. I am very defensive when it comes to my favorite artists, and Ludacris is one of them. I enjoy his music and I enjoy his movies.
His acting career is still on the rise and I believe that his future will be even brighter than it is right now.
The state of music right now is sad to me. I can't really listen to the radio anymore because there is so much garbage music on there. But there are rappers like Ludacris (and Jay-Z & Eminem) that are still holding it down and I am grateful that they are still here!
Ludacris is amazing and I will always be one of his biggest fans.
