LUDACRIS POOL PARTY.

Sometimes this job is really difficult. Like when we have to go to a private party in Malibu hosted by Ludacris, and full of scantily-clad dressed women. Hey, somebody's got to do it. And lucky for you, we're willing to step up. And now, thanks to our self-less desire to make you happy, you get to be part of all the action yourselves.

Ludacris + The Roots on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon

Ok, this is dope. Jimmy Fallon's show is automatically going to be the most hip hop late night show, just on the strength of The Roots. And it's going to be really fresh if they perform with every musician on the show. They might be on to something here.

Last night, Luda performed "Last Of a Dying Breed" and "And I Do It For Hip Hop" and it sounds pretty good if I do say so myself.

Common x Ludacris x Hip Hop 101

HHO recaps the Hip Hop 101 show that went down in Los Angeles last Saturday. It featured performances from Common, Ludacris, and Janelle Monae. Dope show. Shitty venue. Sorry to all the peeps that were on our list and couldn't get in because of the bullshit. We sponsored the event, and they weren't trying to let US in. Fuck the dumb.

Fuck you, Luda.

[NEW] Ludacris - "M.V.P." (prod by DJ Premier)

Luda teams up with the legendary DJ Premier for this track off his upcoming album, Theater Of The Mind. The album hits stores Monday, Nov 24th and I'm actually excited about this one. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest Luda fan - never have been. But this album is going to be different. He seems really focused and has collaborated with some super dope producers this time around, so I think his sound will be more diverse. Shout out to KNOWxONE for the track.

Below, check out the behind the scenes footage of Preemo and Luda in the studio.

[NEW] Ludacris (ft. Jay-Z & Nas)- "I Do It For Hip-Hop"

I met this girl when I was six years, and what I loved so much she had so much soul. If you know me, then you know that since I was 6 years young, I've been a hardcore hip-hop head. If you don't know me, then I just told you. I've been infatuated with the music, fashion, art, and lifestyle of this so-called "fad" for as long as I can remember, 1985 to be exact. Yeah, I'm an old head. But young enough to still be in touch. Hip-hop been the common thread through my existence or will continue to be til I'm in my final resting spot. This music and culture has influenced me just as much as anything else that's been an integral part of my life. I do it for Hip- Hop. This song has me open right now, I'm feeling good. Not even Monday can keep me down.

New video from Luda.

Useless tidbit 1: This was shot at Zune L.A. house, the same place as Kardinal Offishall's "Set It Off" video, and this event who had this guy and this guy in the house.

Useless tidbit 2: I know because I was there.

The Game is Leaking.

The New Music Cartel got their hands harddrives on a copy of the Game's new album, LAX. And leaks are springing up left and right. The album seems like it features some heavy hitters, as the guest features are pretty tight. Here are a few of the gems they have dropped. They are all clean versions, but that way you will go out and buy the actual album...

Mixtape: DJ Drama & Ludacris - "The Preview"

DJ Drama and Ludacris deliver this brand new mixtape as a warm up to Luda's upcoming album, Theater Of the Mind. Since Luda - excuse me - Chris Bridges has been doing his acting thing, he's staying with the concept, and his new album is supposed to be "theatrical, conceptual-wise. Every song you hear sounds like a scene from a movie." That explains why this mixtape is called, The Preview, you know like those short things you watch before the movie starts.
