Ludacris | Ep 184 | ALL THE SMOKE Full Episode | SHOWTIME Basketball

[@nathanjones8732]

People forget that the reason why Luda is so well spoken is that he was a radio disc jockey before a rapper so speaking clearly is a natural prerequisite and a essential skill in communication

[@dalcow1101]

Luda was and is an elite MC !! I always enjoyed his first 4 albums. So many bangers and features. Salute to Luda

[@certifiedchaos4643]

Like ppl don’t understand those albums were tough

[@WelderB1Family]

Luda looks exactly the same, congratulations on his success

[@shontiareliford2285]

Gotta give Luda his 🌹 while he’s here. Great interview

[@Mack916]

Luda is my favorite rapper of all time. It’s crazy how younger people know him more for his movies

[@RomeCertifiedT.V]

MY NIGGS LUDACRIS DESERVES HIS FLOWERS ESPECIALLY WHILE HE STILL HERE.VERY UNDERRATED TALENTED ARTIST

[@NoHandlzz]

Sex is mentioned a lot in hip hop but Luda is one if the only rappers that rapped about pleasing women. Salute 🫡

[@chocolategirl443]

As Ludacris said, Matt and Jack ask the best questions. Never the same from one guest to the next.

[@BillZterr4321]

Word of Mouf is still my shit til this very dayy!! Bangers all over, lyrics up and off the walls! Luda For Sure one of the GOATS 🐐🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽

Back for the first time....I member buying the album in sophomore year in high school before basketball practice and walking 2 practice with my diskman like this guy is nuts. Been a fan eversince thanks luda...for good times

Southern hospitality, Fantasy, Ho, Stick Em Up featuring UGK…. album was incredible

Luda first four albums were legendary u can put those albums up against anybody’s. Luda is also a pioneer in the Atlanta music . He was kinda the first mainstream commercial solo act reppin Atlanta.

[@yusufabdullah5008]

I’d say his first 6 albums… He even won a Grammy on his 5th, Release Therapy. For best rap album

[@mylohremora3386]

Yep everything before battle of the sexes

@@yusufabdullah5008 Release Therapy was when I felt like he started to fall off. That shit won a Grammy!?

Please bring him back 🙏🏿 this episode was NOTTT long enough 😩😩

[@jjcastilllo]

So glad they got to interview Ludacris!! He’s a great person and I love his character as Tej Parker in Fast and Furious!!

[@JordanJMyers]

Yes. Thanks John Singleton Rip

[@TheMelody15]

Ludacris Release Therapy is his best body of work. That album is so special, with so much success he was still overlooked. With Release Therapy he had something to prove as a underdog and he did just that.

[@curiouslymavismade]

To date, this one and the Will Smith episode are my two favorite episodes of all the smoke, maybe a four way tie with the Iverson and Shannon Sharpe episode. Ludacris is so iconic, one of the greatest rappers of ALL time, I was hooked once i heard What's Your Fantasy. This is also one of hip hops most unique and eclectic personalities, he is so fun and animated. He was funny in Crash, too. I still listen to Word Of Mouf to this day.

[@robnewton9611]

Jamie Foxx though

[@waseonethebomber]

his verse on Nas Made U look remix let people know Luda got barz

[@leronnspaternalpresencepod5247]

Luda always been Dope! He looks and dresses exactly how he did when he 1st came out.

[@waltergibson2339]

He is himself always

[@dmac2077]

One of my favorite artists 🔥🔥🔥🔥 used to bump Luda before football games in high school

[@fastpastechase6025]

Luda especially on features throughout his whole rap career takes the show easily most of the time even with other heavy hitters he did his homework studying and put his own twist you can’t replicate in the game 💪💎

[@kollieswurve6355]

Kids now a days will never know what it was like having to try so hard to hear your favorite song on mtv or Vh1 or tryna get someone to burn you a CD . Music back then was so much more appreciated, and when you hear them songs now, you'll always remember exactly where you were.

[@destinyx1636]

That’s true. You really had to be tapped in. I relied on TV radio and my brother’s burned CDs and that’s what really made me a rap fanatic. I can’t imagine being born in the streaming era.

[@Kingbossdon]

I enjoyed all of Ludacris' albums. Like, be honest. I called him the King of the South and one of the best Lyrical geniuses in the game today some of the best punch lines ever funny ass skits videos were must see glad he got his star 🌟 on the walk of fame

[@Mula510]

This was A refreshing interview! Happy to see Luda get his Flowers He been A top tier Mc.

[@boredshit1128]

"Cause 3 of ya top 5 too scared to fuck with me! So how can I improve if you don't give me no opponents?!" Luda will always be in my personal top 5. The man was never fucked with/beefed with and we all know why

[@TIMMYCHAMPAGNE]

[@wiiiz3]

When someone told his younger self to come stare in a movie that will turn into a franchise & generate more money than 99% of any rapper's career, he couldve laughed & told him he crazy but instead, he got out of his comfort zone & took the chance.

He's not lying when he said Vin is all about FF. He's always in character when he's on video. He is always wearing the muscle shirt no matter what the event. I feel we never seen the real Vin Diesel. If Vin ever made it to this show, I'll be the first one to click play.

Luda saying southern hospitality wasnt on his radar for a hit is like Waka thinking no hands wasnt going to be a hit 😂😂😂silly rabbits

The crazy part about Ja Rule supposed to being in 2 fast 2 furious is that he’s in the first one for those who remember.

[@thecunninlynguist]

This was a great episode

[@josiahmitchell8594]

I believe his star on the Hollywood walk of fame was by way of motion picture but I don't believe he deserves a star for motion picture. I believe he deserves one maybe for music or maybe if you could combine the music with his acting. Because he wasn't or isn't a major actor. He was one of the top rappers of the 00's though.

[@spanklocpimpn7517]

Red light District was hard 💯

[@Lankycardo]

This is top 3 interview !

[@Doyourugme_]

I've said this a lot, luda should've had waaaay more interviews. Drink champs next?

[@kinggee5605]

Luda shyt goes so hard that when he make an appearance at Summerfest his stage be packed asf! I remember when he came back in 2017 I went to go see him u couldn’t get nowhere near the stage u had to watch him from the concession stands that’s shyt was 🔥 Not too many artists who were Ampitheater acts years earlier can say they came back to summerfest after their prime music years were over and still drew a big crowd as if it was their prime. Nelly came in 2016 and he came close.

[@himgod6495]

I paid 25$ to see a concert of his at 1st Ave in Minneapolis about.....10 years ago, he did every single
