Ludacris, once simply the Mouf of the South, is now
trying to save the planet. Recently, he’s linked up with an unexpected partner
and he’s ready to do something about the world. He’s also linked up with an old
nemesis. He spoke on all of this and more recently. Here’s what he had to say.
“It’s funny, because when I was out for the Grammys
in L.A., I ran into Al Gore…I was trippin’ because Al Gore was at the party.
I was sitting there talking to him, and he wanted me to get involved in some of
the stuff he was doing,” he told MTV.
This Saturday, Luda will join acts such
as Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Bon Jovi, Akon and others
for Life Earth concerts being thrown around the world.
Luda plans on giving the crowd what they
want and claims he will supply the hits from past and present.
“I just want to do all my hits…I’m blessed to
have a lot of those, ’cause the point is to have people tuned in and keep their
attention and focus on what’s really going on. I’ll be doing a variety of the
hits.”
He also shared tips on how we can all play a part in
helping the environment.
“You can begin to learn what you can do. I’m trying
to figure out how I can get solar panels and things like that. They’re even
saying purchasing music online … is a way to help. Or turning your computers
off at night. It’s a lot of things you can do. I’m sitting here taking it all
in.”
Luda went on to speak about the reunion
between Chingy and the DTP family.
“You can never say never. You always have to have
forgiveness in your heart. He came to us like a man, he apologized for things
he did. In the climate of hip-hop now, you gotta let old stuff be old stuff. I
forgave him in my heart. It was a move to make, and we said, ‘Let this man
back.’ All the executives at DTP, we all agreed.”
By now, everyone knows about the incident involving Luda’s
manager Chaka Zulu and T.I. where
T.I. allegedly punched Zulu in the face at a party in
Los Angeles.
T.I. spoke a little on that, as well.
“I’m not gonna speak for him, but as far as how
he’s doing physically, he’s fine. Nobody was hurt. I heard people say we’re
trying to downplay it. Honestly, it wasn’t a situation like how people are
trying to make it out to be.”
