May 20, 2020 Ludacris is back in the headlines after participating in a Verzuz Instagram Live battle against a seemingly drunk Nelly on Saturday (May 16). While fielding some questions from fans in the aftermath, Luda confessed he really wanted to get Eminem on a track. “I did collaborate with Notorious B.I.G., but it was a posthumous album so I wasn’t able to actually collaborate with him while we was alive,” he says of his 2005 contribution to the Duets: The Final Chapter album. “2Pac, I’d love to collaborate with, but if we saying alive? I haven’t done a track with Eminem yet and that’s on my list. The world needs a Ludacris and Eminem record for sure.” It would appear Luda is anxious to jump back in the game full force. During the Verzuz battle, he premiered a couple of new songs he’s been working on — “Silence Of The Lambs” featuring production from Timbaland and Lil Wayne and another untitled track with Chance The Rapper. The lyrics on “Silence Of The Lambs” sparked some controversy with lines such as, “The world’s screwed if they pourin’ drinks like Bill Huxtable/I love R. Kelly but around my daughters, I’m not comfortable/Stand for what you believe in like Kaepernick/You either in control or you gettin’ f-----, no abstinence.” A collaboration between Luda and Slim Shady doesn’t seem too out of the realm of possibilities. On the 2014 song “So Far,” Em makes a reference to the Atlanta legend and expresses frustration over not being able to get Luda’s latest song to play. “My apologies, no disrespect to technology,” he raps. “But what the heck is all of these buttons?/You expect me to sit here and learn that?/f--- I gotta do to hear this new song from Luda?/Be an expert at computers?” Listen to the song below. https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.55975/title.ludacris-calls-on-eminem-for-collaboration
May 20, 2020 I’d love this. Back in like 07/08 I always hoped Em and Luda would collab. wanted Em and Chamillionaire too but that ship has sailed
May 20, 2020 Me too. h--- I wanted Chamillionaire to feature with every artist I liked. He is one of my favorite rappers of all time. I’ve been revisiting the mixtape messiah series a f--- ton the past few weeks. Chamillionaire has always been criminally underrated. Dude’s catalogue is insane.
May 20, 2020 Luda x Em could be nice but the thing is I'm almost sure since its the 1st collab em is gonna want to outrap luda... so fast technical s---
May 20, 2020 I mean he had that same mindset on the Lil Wayne features, right? There’s a chance it might be decent
May 20, 2020 To be fair his last couple of features were ok and he didn't do the fast s---, but most of them were serious songs (lord above, rainy days, b---). But I have no idea what kind of song luda would give em if its something ""fun"" we all know whats gonna happen
May 21, 2020 Yesss. Always support Chamillionaire support he’s doing pretty well for himself still. Not rapping as much but he’s invested in a bunch of tech s--- and it seems to be working out for him
May 21, 2020 Honestly can picture a those kinda nights type deal. something reminiscent to One More Drink or other songs from Theater of the Mind
May 21, 2020 after hearing that Luda x Wayne leak I can safely say I definitely do not wanna hear this
