Ludacris’ seventh studio release, Battle of the Sexes began with arguably the most underrated member of Disturbing Tha Peace leaving the camp for T-Pain’s Nappy Boy label. Despite the loss, Luda’s album debuted at number one on Billboard magazine’s Top 200 albums chart. Female emcees such as Lil Kim, Trina, Nicki Minaj and Eve lent guest verses to the concept album, and Shawnna is also listed as a credited performer. Yet, the Grammy award winning rapper and actor says there is another woman who he unsuccessfully tried to recruit this time around.
“I think Lauryn Hill is like extremely talented and I can say I did try to do that, it just didn’t work itself out,” Ludacris revealed to the Associated Press.
Ludacris didn’t give any details on why the union never happened, and Hill has not released a full-length album since 2002’s MTV Unplugged No. 2.0. Aside from a handful of live performances and a short-lived reunion with Wyclef and Pras in Dave Chappelle’s 2005 movie, Block Party, Hill has kept a relatively low profile. Meanwhile, on the heels of his Battle of the Sexes success, Luda says he is already planning concepts for album number eight, tentatively entitled Ludaversal. DTP’s marquee act recently told MTV the album should be released either later this year or in early 2011.

I couldn’t even read this broken post… WTF?!?
i love luda as an emcee, but he shot himself in the foot with this project. album sucked, hard. i never seen a nigga cater to the masses quite like luda just did with his last album. literally every song felt like a reach for a radio hit. where the album cuts? i was hyped about ludaversal, now im playing the wait and see. he mighta done his numbers, but niggas gon remember this album for bein wack and his next joint is gonna suffer for it.
and LOL @ plies being a real nigga, he auditioned for the part of a real ass nigga and got it by the grace of god, he got no history cuz hes a label creation. pawn ass nigga.
whait..you saying albums 23 and 4 wasnt haberno..stfd..might of fact waist your applause on snicks and blants.wannabe coon in coon fur
where you need luda hell come tear that stdium up ..im just repping my country by far
Not a big Luda fan, but I was impressed for this remix. He got game
Dont hate on luda makin a album for the masses. His last 2 albums were strictly Hip-Hop albums but no one supported it. So he went back 2 wat he knows and that makin music 4 tha hoes.
Da main reazon myself and alot of other 30-somethingz take umbrage with modern pop/rap iz becauze we can remember when bein’ creative and credible took centre stage in a rap artist’s career. NWA, P.E., Wu-Tang, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Ice Cube and De La were da top sellin’ rap acts back in da dayz, and appealed 2 a wide section of society. But the main emphasis was 2 pleaze real hip-hop headz 1st. When U make a record with Justin Timberlake, you’re not making it 4 your core audience, but 4 Soccer Moms who don’t appreciate U. J Electronica haz alot of buzz at da moment, and hopefully he can continue 2 make raw, dope hip-hop and find commercial success and chage da game, like when Nirvana came out with Teen Spirit in ’91 and killed Hair-Metal.
who modern rap pop fasho money hitting ….man you just a im humble 4 now ass
Haha, why would she want involved with that wackness of an album. That’s almost as ridiculousness as Drake trying to get Sade on a track. I like Luda and I think he took a step in the right direction with Theater of the Mind, but then he dropped this new joint and took two steps back.
This concept could have been dope, but Luda fucked it up. It was just a shallow attempt to recapture the glory from one of the joints that originally helped him blow up, What’s Your Fantasy feat Trina.
That was Shawnna on What’s Your Fantasy.
You might be thinking of a remix or something.
True, my mistake. Also, excuse the fucked upped grammar in that first post.
*want to be
*ridiculous
maino was on a sade track
What’s Your Fantasy (Remix)- Ludacris f. Trina, Shawnna. and Foxy Brown
Niccas need to stop hating on Luda that nicca can spit. He’s def not a G.O.A.T rapper but his shit be aight plus EVERY album he released went plat do your homework niccas!!!! just cuz you niccas don’t like him don’t mean nobody else does. That’s why ppl have opinions learn how to give one and leave it @ that…..
Theater of the Mind didn’t go plat.
Theater of the Mind was still a dope album. some odd concepts but it had some real hip hop influences…
I dont think Ms Hill would take part in such project knowing what sort image she being tagged on too…
Luda should’ve gotten Missy on Battle of the Sexes.
agreed
That’s what I said.
Its a good thing. Even a potentially washed up Lauryn would lyrically eat those hoes
I cant see Luda takin’ an L…couldnt get an L either LOL
Luda needs to be slapped for downgrading the quality of L boogie to “My Chick Bad” and “Hey Ho”. Lauryn Hill wouldn’t be caught dead in a studio working on bullshit like that. I’ve lost all respect for Chris Bridges
I don’t think he would’ve downgraded her. I’m pretty sure he’s aware of what type of music Lauryn makes.
Watched the video and ever female who spit did a poor performist, shit was wack yo.
Ms. Hill knows better. Luda too corny.
I think the song with eve,trina,and whats her face lol is stri8t garbage, Get it together
Recovering Lauryn Hill is better than most dudes rappin.lol.
PEOPLE,It’s just a SONG!!!!! Either you enjoy it or you don’t.I thought it did what it was supposed to do.Nothing more-Nothing less.Why is EVERYONE so sensitive these days? It’s not that serious.I thought it was cool.Ludas’ the man-he’s puttin’ in wrk(BEEN puttin’ in work) so people,CHILL w/ the over-analysing and go back to the reason you listen to music in the first place………..BECAUSE YOU ENJOY THE SHIT!!!!!
why do hell would such a spiritual high moral person like Lauryn hill wanna go on such
sexual low moral album.luda is stupid for trying to ask lauryn hill to go on his album
