I remember writing it in my Acura Legend.
#JAGGED EDGE SONGS TO FUCK TO SKIN#
Sample Lyric: "Tan skin so, butter soft I'm rippin' the buttons off yo' – BLOUSE/ Smell the aroma of a dingaling king Ludacris when I'm in yo' – HOUSE/ Check the ratio of men to women and women to men when down – SOUTH/ Hot fellatio, hot jalapenos holla while they in yo' – MOUTH" And we put that fucking song on, it gets more of a reaction sometimes than ones that I've done three or four years ago." "Freaky Thangs" featuring Twista and Jagged Edge from 2001's Word of Mouf To see if we can go all the way back to the first song. That's a part of our show now where we're seeing where the real Ludacris fans are. It was the birth of Ludacris to the world. I couldn't ask for a better song in order to do that because it didn't sound like any songs out there: the production, the rapping.
So definitely that song right there pretty much marks the budding start of my commercially successful career. And I was extremely proud because when I had to pick a single, sometimes when you go to a record label they pick a single for you, but I was the A&R, I was everything. That's just a testament of what got me here. So that marks the culmination of everything that I did independently on my own: paid for my own music, my own mixing, my own mastering, the production, everything. I was independent before then and I got a certain amount of radio spins. Because that song is what got me my record deal. So it's definitely extremely personal to me as to how that song became successful. Ludacris: "Man, that was something that I did on my own without a major record label. Sample Lyric: "I wanna, li-li-li-lick you from yo' head to yo' toes/And I wanna, move from the bed down to the down to the to the flo'" "What's Your Fantasy?" featuring Shawnna from 2000's Back for the First Time "But it's still very sensual and seductive and touches the nerve of all the estrogen-high people out there." We figured the time was right to sit back and listen while Ludacris recalled the creation of some of the filthiest and freakiest tracks of his career. "I'm a married man now, so I didn't get too personal in the bedroom this time," he says with a laugh. While his long-anticipated new album, Ludaversal, out today, figures to be just as freaky, even Ludacris has his limits.
Yes, Ludacris is virtually unmatched in the rap game in his ability to turn even the tamest song into a raunchy exercise that only his horny imagination could conjure up. It's true: The rapper born Christopher Bridges may have appeared in a slew of films over the past decade, including this weekend's Furious 7, but the 38-year-old Atlanta native will be forever associated with whiplash rhymes, funky accentuation, and sharp wit. "Just because I'm able to get some Hollywood checks does not mean I forget where the hell I came from," Ludacris tells Esquire.
