Yea, he sold out. You can't really blame him tho. How many rap albums have you purchased this year?


Luda used to routinely sell 2-3 million per album. Now he's lucky to go gold. Hip Hop's the only genre where the consumers dont support the artists then get mad when they stop making music targeted towards them. Its like nikkas never supporting movies like Miracle at St. Anna or Red Tails then getting mad when there's no more black films. shyt is fukking retarded If Luda felt he could still make money making records like "Stand Up", he would but, he knows, like we all know, none of yall cheap ass nikkas is going to FYI to buy his shyt

co-sign

not one of you nikkas in here buy albums..none..but u all know every filesharing site there is

and why the sudden outrage? He's done songs with Justin Bieber and the woman from the Black Eyes Peas

Guetta is destroying hip-hop!

luda was my first favorite rapper, what happened..

Biggest myth ever. Katty Perry had 5 #1 's and did less than Drake. Pop music sells singles but no albums, rappers need to stay in their own lane.

Huh?

US Billboard Charts (27/10/2012)

67 57 112 Katy Perry, Teenage Dream 6,847 -19 8,474 2,541,974
126 112 48 Drake, Take Care 3,638 -8 3,961 1,898,055


You may want to recheck those facts there buddy.

Katy Perry is a bad example, she's got a solid fan base.

But there is artists like Pitbull and Flo-rida, but there is a market for that to.
In the end it's not about album sales or single sales, as far as money goes it's about attracting cats to your shows and attracting companies to endorse you. That's the real money. So whether you do it through singles or albums .

But that's not hiphop, we go by dropping the best and/or biggest albums. The only problem with this song is the fact that it's that worst sounding sell out shyt out, like Nicki Minajs Starships and on. It doesn't get more sell-out than this for Luda, that Justin Bieber Baby track has not got shyt on this.

Usher tryna get that Super Bowl money... make that squeaky clean music... while he puts his beima on the street and fukks her bridesmaids

You gotta love it

 

[Tommy Tuffnuts]

its sad to see two of our city's best rappers (luda and tip) fall off so hard. they need to hang it up cause the suck at being bosses and now they suck at tryna rejuvenate their career.

 

[Pool_Shark]

This is the cycle brehs.

-1 Artist is struggling hungry, knows where they came from.

-2 Get a little money, start crossing over and eyeballing that cac money.

-3 New dudes run the game, their time passes, all that's left is too sell out and make a last minute cash grab cause your days are numbered. Unless you start leeching new trends

This is the same dude that made an entire mixtape based on a liquor he was trying to sell, and people are surprised?

I think I stopped fukking with Luda half a decade ago.

The jogging

The surfing

The techno synths

THIS IS NOT FOR US

Yeah, but black culture is in the shytter these days.

@YBE, you know whey nikkas don't support shyt. Cause they want to complain that Hip Hop is from the streets and bootlegging is a culture

I doubt our parents bootleg Marvin Gaye records. They had enough respect to buy his retail shyt.

Our parents didnt have Megaupload and Pirate Bay... you don't know what they would have done with them. There were bootleg tapes back then.

And even when black music was great there were still problems with black culture. The two arent related

You know the saddest thing? This techno video right here may be Luda's version of Ja Rule "Mesmerize" . Other words, it could be the beginning of the end of him, mainstream wise.
