Black Eyed Peas, Ludacris, and LMFAO at Bradley Center
Ludacris' peculiarly over-the-top Southern-rap freakery challenges the creativity of anyone who'd dare try to parody or mock it. Like his fellow Atlantan Cee-Lo, Luda embraces a little eccentricity and humor to create what might cautiously be called depth. His greedy, lustful raps rarely sound too grim or self-important, instead embracing wordplay like a 12-year-old embraces slams and dick jokes—this is, after all, the guy who broke through with the 2000 single "What's Your Fantasy." As a bonus, his videos are often as funny and surreal as any in the MTV-industrial complex, notably 2008's "One More Drink," off Theater Of The Mind. Of course, Luda is also a pop star, which is probably why he agreed to support the staggeringly awful hit machine Black Eyed Peas on their current arena tour. Luckily, the jaunt coincides with his new, oft-delayed album Battle Of The Sexes.
