Tommy Lee And Ludacris Promise Eco-Pimping On Planet Green


In advance of their upcoming Battleground Earth series, Tommy Lee and Ludacris have done an ad for Planet Green, the network for the environmentally conscious that launched yesterday. In the above spot, Lee and Ludacris compete to see which pimp is more eco-friendly: Lee hasn't showered for a week, while Ludacris has filled a hot tub entirely with women instead of water. And you thought going green would stand in the way of rocking and/or getting it on. [YouTube]

Lloyd And Ludacris Turn The Whole World Into Neverland


The Rock And Jock-ready stomp of Lloyd's new single, "How We Do It," has grown on me since my first listen two months ago thanks to hearing the track during a couple of car rides, which may be the optimum listening conditions for many a summer jam candidate. So now here's the video, in which Lloyd and Ludacris zip around a conglomeration of American cities that's illustrated in such a way that it resembles a cross between the opening credits of The Surreal Life and Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" video, sans Elizabeth Taylor and Verne Troyer, alas.

Latest by Al Shipley: Interesting that a video for this song is just now dropping, considering that MTV.com just ran a story today that emphasized Lloyd's other new single with Lil Wayne and said there'd be a video for that soon, and generally made more »

On "Stay Together," his odd new single featuring a very "hey, remember 2003?" hook, a sage Ludacris mourns a generation suffering a crisis of commitment, while noting that both Brad and Jennifer and Cam'ron and Jim Jones could learn something from Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Who knew? [XXL]

Tommy Lee and Ludacris Force April Fools-Weary Blogger To Seek Reputable Primary Sources

Tommy Lee and Ludacris will star in Battleground Earth, an upcoming 10-part series for the new cable network Planet Green, which will launch June 4. The show, a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Battlefield Earth: A Saga Of The Year 3000 will feature Tommy Lee as Johnny "Goodboy" Tyler, the character who lead a successful uprising against the Psychlos, an alien race that conquered the Earth in several minutes a millenium earlier, only to decide they'd only set up shop in Denver. Ludacris will play Jerl, one of the survivng Psychlos left on Earth, determined to re-enslave the human race. John Travolta will reprise the role of Terl, the main villain from the original film, in the series premiere. More »

Latest by n/a: That picture from Battlefield Earth reminds me of how much I've been thinking about how the character Travolta played in that film (don't know the name, and really don't care) looks like it could be Jason Castro's dad. more »

For those who always wished to be able to chart Ludacris' progress as he made his way state-to-state with the infamous big-ass sack full of prophylactics, there is now a map to follow the rapper's area code-related adventures. Aspiring casanovas should take note that the region around the Rockies seems to be mostly untapped. [Strange Maps/HT: Mackro who I think got it from Line Out]

Business Writer Shocked To Discover Horndog Rapper Also Possesses College Degree, Business Acumen

Despite musicians of all stripes investing in businesses not related to music for centuries, including dining establishments, and despite rappers being well-known for their mercenary attitude towards success-in-entrepreneurship, a writer for business mag Fast Company is shocked that Ludacris thinks he can just pony up the dough to buy an Atlanta eatery and start restauranteuring like he owns the place. Stick to degrading women through hilarious rhyming words, Bridges! More »

R. Kelly Inspires The Ladies To Throw Some D(evil Horn)s


The clip for R. Kelly's "Rock Star" is a pretty straightforward "all the ladies in the house go crazy" performance video, which makes the fact that it has a "story by R. Kelly" credit as part of its opening sequence all the more confusing. Is the "story" merely the fact that, by plugging in his guitar, Kid Rock can turn a sleepy bar into the Whisky A Go-Go circa 1989? Or is the scene at the beginning where R. slaps his face while trying to swat a fly really the precursor to the next video from Double Up, in which he becomes the pesky bug?

"Vanity Fair" Editor Has A Luda Awakening

It's been a bad week for magazine-rapper relations: First, Entertainment Weekly's Lori Majewski had an allegedly awkward encounter with 50 Cent, and now it appears that Vanity Fair's Lisa Robinson and rapper Ludacris had an equally sqiurmy sit-down during a New York City panel discussion Wednesday night.

Mash-Up Smash: Ludacris Gets Down To The Jackson 5


Thanks to The Rap Up for pointing us to Re-Release Therapy, producer J.J. Brown's reimagining of Ludacris' Release Therapy that uses, as its musical bed, songs from the Jackson 5's catalog. We recommend downloading the whole thing, but we couldn't resist posting Brown's revamp of "Woozy," which places Ludacris and sideman-for-a-track R. Kelly right in the middle of the Jacksons' 1975 single "I Am Love": More »

Liner Notes: Lily Allen Serves Up Even More Beef Stew

- Just in time for her album's U.S. release date, pint-size Brit Lily Allen picks a fight with Madonna. [Gigwise]
- Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" holds off Fall Out Boy—whose "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" sold 162,000 digital copies last week—and stays atop the Billboard Hot 100 for the eighth straight week. [Billboard]
- A Kentucky high school has banned its marching band from opening for Ludacris because of concerns over the hip-hop star's lyrics. The countdown to this story becoming inspiration for a Ludacris movie starts now. [XXL]

Videodrone: Ludacris, "Money Maker"


Complain all you want about the state of hip-hop, but it's the only Top-40 music genre that opens its doors to the homely. Granted, T.I. and Pharrell are pretty boys, but none of the successful male rappers of the past year (Dem Franchise Boyz, Three 6 Mafia, Lil Jon) are going to be confused for male models anytime soon. In fact, looking like a wet rat is probably Kevin Federline's only shred of hip-hop credibility. More »
