Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, straight from Pakistan Taela to Boston. My guy Luda,
Chris is on Luda.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
What up man? What's going on? Man? How you feeling?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Thank you for calling in on Friday real quick when
the record came out. Now we're gonna do a quick
little sit down. Man. How you been.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's only right man. You know I had to double
back my brother. I've been good. Man.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The feeling has been great over the last seventy two
to ninety six hours since we dropped.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yo. It sounds great. It's it's so ludicrous, but also
at the same time, you know, you said it on
the call on Friday, like if you think I'm talking
about a girl, I think you're not that, You're over that.
But also you've grown now, you got family. You're talking
about cars man. You've always been a car guy too.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's what I'm saying. That's why I knew I liked
you for a reason. You think outside the box. That's
what I'm talking about, man. This is my love for cars.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Man. Even when I say, you know, body shaped like
a coke bottle, that's that's my Kawasaki, That's that's my motorcycle. Bro.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I have a love for engines, wheels, everything that literally
puts us in a therapeutic mode when we ride and
listen to music.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's truly what the pullover is all about.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And I love the fact that, like, you know, as
an artist, you're talking about one thing, but again, everybody
else can relate it to it literally on the other
side of the spectrum, which is the girls and you know,
lik in that body. I like how you guys do
stuff like that. Man, it's very creative a way of
doing music, and you've always done that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Man, my car is like the epotome of all my success,
believe it or not, because all my hit records or
most of my hit records were written inside of a vehicle.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And people who know, the real fans know that I've
had this accurate.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Legend for like so many years.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
It has over two hundred and sixty thousand miles on it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
But if you attribute a lot to just me riding
around being a fan of music, and I think this
speaks for a lot of not just.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Men, women as well.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Being in our vehicles is something about that that's just
therapeutic for all people. How we take care of our cars,
how we put money into our car, our engines, our interiors,
our paint jobs, are ms, you know what I mean,
Smell good, how we wash our vehicles, how we get
the tent on there? Like I could go on and on,
but this is my love. This is my love song
for vehicles and all things fast and furious. Whoever loves
(02:12):
those these franchise movies.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Since you've had the love for cars and being able
to be in a franchise like that, were you liking
I mean, not that you can't afford these kind of
cars anyways, but now you could play around with cars
that aren't yours. How was that feeling doing that that
franchise for so many years and being such a card
lover and the speed demon and all that.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's amazing, bro, because you know, I've been able, like
you said, to drive so many different cars, and believe
it or not, I don't even own one, but I'm
gonna get one eventually. That for GT is probably my
favorite car of all the cars I've ever driven.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Man, I just love it, really.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, the old school and not even not even the
newer one, and nothing against the new one, but it's
that American muscle. It's something about that, man, because I
know we constantly are priding the Lamborghinis and the Ferraris,
which are all phenomenal, but my personal favorite for GT
got it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Man, Ludacris is on right now Pullovers, a new song
that's our right now. Coming back to music, I mean
you when you start to make going doing movies, obviously
that's a big commitment. The money's different. Whenever people go
that way usually don't come back to the music. Socidey,
what made you decide to go back hard into this?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, man, I never left. Man. Music is always going
to be my number one.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Love and that should let you know, just because it
may be more money, you know in other places, the
love for it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
If you don't have a love for music, then you
shouldn't be doing it. So that there you go.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And also I wouldn't even say come back to It's
also one of those things where sometimes you have to
take a break and live more life. After you don't
put out ten albums, you literally got to stake a break,
live more life in order to make the music organic
or what you can speak about again, because you don't
want to talk about the same.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Thing over and over.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What's your perspective of where music is at right now
versus when you were doing music twenty five years ago,
and how it's stuck and move still goes, Southern hospitality
still goes. Stand up. You know you got so many
what's your fantasy? You got hits on days? Do you
feel like those kind of records not from you, but
these other artists will sustain that twenty year lifestyle only
time hotel.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Man, it's such a broad turn because now, when I
first made those records that you spoke about, I had
no idea that you know, twenty years later they were
still being grained in the culture, and I'm extremely thankful
for that. So I'm sure that there's some of these
new artists, absolutely their records will be doing the same thing. Man.
It's about those who like this is what this is
the real tale. The crazy thing you're saying is that
(04:23):
when you know how unique you are, when years and
years go past, and there may be some comparisons to
the artists that you are, but nobody is able to
truly carve out the same niche that you have. That's when,
over time you realize how unique your records were and
how unique of a voice you were.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So it remains to be seen.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
There's no way I could answer the question of if
it's going to last or not. Man, you know, I
hope that it does, and I'm just thankful that mind.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Now Ludacris is on right now.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I just you know, we always talk about that off air,
about how like music does not stick the way you
used to anymore. It's just there's so much of it
right that people are just dropping so much as the
qualit that the over quantity is getting is getting lost.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And that's yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Now it's so much more music coming out, so you
got to pop through all of the you know, all
of the other artists, so the competition level is at
an all time high.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's the best way.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
We got Ludacris on right now. Luda, real quick with
with your song. In the world we live in right now,
did you ever do you get like nervous of seeing
all the opinions at the same time because you come
from a world where you didn't have everybody's opinion in
front of you, and now we live in a world
where everyone has an opinion, and it's fifty percent love
you and fifty percent hate you, and fifty that hate you.
(05:32):
It's so loud.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Right, Yeah, that's a good question, man.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I to be completely honest with you, I have so
much forward movement that I very rarely take time like
I will go in there and like, obviously I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I want to respond to fans and get some feedback.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
But some of that stuff is just noise and certain
people will just say things just to get a response. So,
you know, having the time to really pinpoint who's being
genuine or who who's being.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Genuine is not something that I like to take the
time to do.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I more so want to feed the audience that appreciates
what it is that I do. And more importantly, if
I'm putting my time and effort into something and I
know I absolutely love it, then I'm just gonna keep
feeding you that, like, regardless of what the hell anyone says,
because I know that's what got me here in the
first place. So I feel like my true fans are
gonna love the same things that I love regardless.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I love that. Man.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, we're talking to Ludi Chris right now. Pull Over
is a song that's out. I heard some commercials saying
album is like seventy percent done, but you haven't given
a date yet. Is the album date out yet or no?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Are we?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Are we still in this cooking.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I'm dates not out yet, but I guarantee by summer
I'll know something. See I'll figure.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Something out there it is, man, let's get into Pullover.
We'll come back and say bye real quick. Go ahead
and introduce this for everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yo, man, this is Ludi Chris. Here goes my new song.
We just spoke about it. It's not just about women,
it's more so about cars. And this is this is the.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Only city I'm telling this, So y'all gonna have to
tell a secret to the rest of the world.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
This is Pullover by Luda Chris.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Let's go us right there, pull Over, bro, I got
to play this game with you with your own songs.
F Mary kill, Southern Hospitality, Move, move, and stand up.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Man?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's how you're gonna say kill? How I'm gonna kill
one of those songs? What was it? Southern Hospitality? Stand
move yep?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
As a club DJ, they'll still go by the way.
You can still play all those records like it. It
came out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Man, right, I'm like, I can't kill any of it.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I can't let me do the I'm Marry Mary move obviously,
because I go out there and do that song and
only you have to.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't even have to say anything. No crowds just
says it for uh.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And then f I guess I would stand up, and
I guess I would have to kill Southern Hospitality only
because that's not the most recent or the latest. I
guess that when I first started, which is even more
of a reason why I hate that I'm having to
kill it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But there you go.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, I'm upset that you killed Southern, but I probably
would have been upset if you killed any of those.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Other records to agree, you got me, man.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, Ludacris is all right now. Congrats on everything. Obviously,
you shut it down for us at the iHeart you're
really a great partner with all of us. And then
movies anything, any movies you want to talk about. First
of all, Crash, bro. I know everyone talks about Fast
and Furious, but Crash is such a classic movie too, man,
And you did it such a great job in that
one too. I feel like that one gets overlooked because
(08:20):
of Fast and Furious sometimes, but you know, Crash was
it too, man?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, it's okay, if it gets overlood at one a
damn Academy award, overlook that it's all good, but you
had a fast franchise.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Hopefully we're gonna shoot another one. They put it out.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They put a release date of March twenty twenty eight,
so we shall see, man, And I'm glad you mentioned
crash Man. If people haven't seen that, that's one of
those must sees and it won. I want to say
best Picture around two thousand. I don't even I want
to say two thousand and eight or something like that.
Either way, probably way off on the timeline, but that's
definitely my favorite movie of all the ones that I've done.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It is great movie.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And congrats on even your Karmer's World four seasons. That's
not easy, man, good job with that.
