Part 1 of 3

/u/ExtraAndroid

What is the funniest thing that's happened at one of your performances?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Me falling and tripping over a damn speaker.

And, um... forgetting the lyrics to songs. But playing it off as if I meant to do it.


/u/Mentoman72

What's your biggest inspiration for your music?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

My children.

Competing with new artists.

Outdoing myself.

And my music out-living me.


/u/SuperDuperTurtle

"Better hide that big-ass forehead." Was that spit-take real or scripted?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

It was so real, that's why it came across so funny!


/u/ontopic

Who would win in a fight?

Rollout Ludacris with the big head (cuz he's smarter), or Get Back Ludacris with the giant arms (better at punching)?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

That's fucking hilarious man, dang!

That shit's crazy!

GET BACK Ludacris would win, with the big arms. Way too funny man!


/u/NickPro

LUDA! Which producers do you enjoy working with the most and who do you want to work with that you haven't yet?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Timbaland, Pharrell, Da Internz are some of my favorites. And who would I want to work with? Dr. Dre.


/u/randino41

What is more time consuming, recording an album or filming a movie? Since beginning acting, which do you prefer?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Filming a movie is more time-consuming.

It's hard to compare the two, but music is what got me here, so if I had to choose, I love music more.


/u/ArabianDisco

What did being apart of Crash and its critical acclaim mean to you?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

It meant everything in the world that... the second movie I did in my career was an Oscar-winning film.

Because it made me get recognized on a critical scale a lot faster than I expected.


/u/ch405_5p34r

Has anyone spotted you in public and shouted "LUDA!" really loud?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

ALL THE DAMN TIME.

I give them a head nod, when that happens.


/u/jakew2016

Did that bitch ever get out of your way?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Nope!


/u/Originalusername519

Luda, do you ever miss your Fro?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

sighs

I did miss it, and I started growing it back, until I realized that I missed my short hair.


/u/eztarget896

Who is the funniest actor you worked with on set of any movie you did?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Um... Tyrese.

He's fucking hilarious, man.


/u/nextfanatic

How was recording Furious 7 after Paul Walkers death?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

It was very difficult, but we got through it together as a cast, and it brought us all closer together. And we were able to carry on his legacy in this film, in the greatest way possible.


/u/DanyaRomulus

It's been 14 years, so I think it's time to finally answer the question, what in the WORLD is in that bag? What you got in that BAG?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Something illegal.


/u/bluepinkblack

At this point in your career you’ve probably been hit with every silly ‘area code’ joke known to man, but I have a question about the writing process for that song. How conscious were you to make sure as many metropolitan markets were represented in that song? Were there any smaller, special shout-out area codes you were certain to include, or conversely, any area codes you actively made sure to exclude? Are there any area codes you regret leaving out from the song?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

That is hilarious. Haha!

The song could only be but so... long. And yes, there are many area codes that I wish I could've put in there. However, I tried to get the ones that were as honest to the actual hoes I had in those area codes as possible.

Yeah!


/u/ThePinkPrintladyisme

I love how you love on your fans on social media... when did you get into doing that?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Probably about 5 years ago!

I was an early adopter.


/u/ScratchTrackProds

Whats your favorite thing about Saturdays? I personally like my system on blast with a pocket full of cash.

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Hahah! I share the same opinion.


/u/DylanFucksTurkeys

Nsync vs Backstreet Boys?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Mmm - damn. That's kinda a hard one.

*Nsync?


/u/ludaquestion

Hey Luda!

Big fan here, do you ever feel a remorse for causing most people to mispronounce Ludicrous by saying Ludacris instead?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Not at all.

In fact, I'm happy about it.

There's people that have lost spelling bees because of this.

I know, right?

Haha!


/u/J-SN

Hey Luda, what was the last album you listened to? and did you like it :)?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Kendrick Lamar's album. And yes I did. Very different.


/u/kevin_sen

How did it feel when you finally cut your hair? Were you surprised with your head shape?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

I think everyone should know what their head is shaped like! So to answer that question, I was not surprised. And i felt good about it, because I could finally take a shower and let the water fall straight onto my head without any worries.


/u/Allmaestro

Why should i, as a motherfucker, get back?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

That's funny.

Because you don't know me like that!


/u/corby315

Luda!

Did you know Blueberry Yum Yum was going one of the main weed anthems at the time?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

I did.

nods

I did, and that's one of my favorite weed songs of all time.


/u/PhtevenPhtielberg

If you could obtain instant master tier skills in one musical instrument, what instrument would it be?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

I'd say guitar. So I could rock out! Like a real rock & roll artist.


/u/richardo-san

Saw you at Cornell for my senior slope day and wanted to say it was definitely the best out of my 4 years there, thanks for coming!

What was your favorite thing about doing the Fast and Furious movies? Any fun stories?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

HELL YEAH.

Funny stories...

Living in London, shooting FAST 6, and this was a year where I vowed to work out every single day of that year, and I was flying in and out of London and back and forth to the United States, and I remember working out even while I was sick... that doesn't sound fun, I'm trying to think of something fun... BUT something fun is of course driving all the different cars on-screen in all the FAST & FURIOUS movies. I think the most expensive car I drove was a Bugatti. It's like a spaceship on four wheels.


/u/AdultlikeGambino

Ludacris, do you like to pull pranks? If so, what is the craziest prank you've ever witnessed/experienced?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

I do like to pull pranks. The biggest prank i ever experienced was when Red Man and Method Man were on a show called "Stung" and they made me rap over a beat of a frog-noise.


/u/CharlesStross

What did you want to be when you were a little kid?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

An Astronaut.

This is hilarious!


/u/ableyoungthug1

Luda, I'm glad you are here but what does Ja Rule think about this?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

Um... he was in the first movie. So I'm sure he still continues to be a fan of the franchise. And I'm sure he's glad he's a part of it.


/u/AyPay

How low can you go?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

I can't go very low, but... I love to see women go low.


/u/lucyness

What other stage name would you like to have?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

When I was younger, I had a stage name, and it was "Kris Kringle" until I realized I could only rap about Christmas for so long.

That's true.

But i was like, 10 or 11 years old!


/u/bolomon7

What other movies do you wish to become apart of?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

An action hero, like a superhero movie, where I can play a superhero.

OR in a movie where there are a lot of different martial arts, and I can use the martial art that I know (52 Blocks).


/u/lpilky

Ludacris, big fan!

What was it like working with Paul Walker? Do you have any favourite memories with him you would like to share?

/u/VerifiedLudacris

It was always a great time.

And the best memory is... the last conversation we had with him, 7 days before he passed away, we were shooting a scene and talking about life, and evolving, and becoming better people.


/u/m_langz

Why did you choose your stage-name Ludacris??

/u/VerifiedLudacris

My first name is "Chris" and if you look in the dictionary under the term "ludicrous" then it means "crazy, wild, ridiculous" - which pretty much explains everything about me.
