Ludacris F/ Lil Kim & Lil Fate - "Hey Ho"

"Hey Ho"

The production here is hot. It has a heavy bass, a light instrument, and a very hood vibe to it. The hook is simple but pretty catchy. And it's real talk, talk that has been heatedly debated over time, but real yet and still. Men sleep around and get love, women sleep around and get sh--t for it. It's not fair and to me anybody who sleeps around is a ho. Gender don't have nothing to do with it, if you nasty, you nasty. And that is all there is to it. Anyways, the verses here are fair, not as good as one would expect though. Ludacris kicks things off and does his thing. He had his typical quick and clever rhymes, but nothing that really stood out. Lil Kim came in next and her rhymes were mediocre at best. A song with this kind of theme, is something that fans expect Kim to shine on. She could have went so much harder and really ripped it for the ladies. Lil Fate closes out the track with a roller coaster type of verse. It started off weak, got better in the middle, and then got weak again as he finished it off. He too is capable of better lyricism. Overall, this track is straight. Not the best thing to leak off of Battle Of The Sexes, but it's still spin worthy. Please check it out and decide for yourself though. -MinM

Ludacris - "Ludachristmas"

So, I was looking for something to post that included both hip-hop and Christmas in honor of the holiday. A friend brought this track to my attention. It's not what I intended to post originally, but I think it's hot. It's from the movie, "Fred Claus," that came out last year. Ludacris was in the flick and this song is on the soundtrack. Check it out:

I didn't post this to analyze or anything. Just wanted to say Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hope Santa is good to everybody and that you all enjoy yourselves. Appreciate your gifts, good or bad, some people aren't getting anything. And most importantly keep in mind the true meaning of the holiday. -MinM
