Luda also discussed losing the Best Rap Album award to Eminem and receiving a call from the director of “2 Fast 2 Furious” while being on tour with Slim Shady.
On the latest episode of “Drink Champs,” Ludacris joined DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. for a full breakdown of his illustrious career.
During a quiz game where participants take a shot of vodka if they can’t answer a question, DJ EFN asked Ludacris, “Eminem or Busta Rhymes?!” Ludacris responded, “Ah. Why y’all put those two together man. If it was not for Busta, I would not be here… God damn! I’m taking the shot!”
Elsewhere in the interview, Ludacris explained how winning the Best Rap Album at the Grammys in 2007 was a significant moment in his life: “One of the best days of my life was me winning Best Rap Album at the Grammys. Every time I went to the Grammys, I’m in a category with Eminem, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, DMX, and these motherfuckers were killing that shit. Ludacris is a huge artist but when it comes to these motherfuckers, I’m losing every motherfucking award. And finally man, I make this album, Release Therapy, and I went in there like ‘I’m making this fucking album and I’m going to win Best Rap Album for this shit. I don’t care what happens. I’m specifically going in, writing this shit, making the way it needs to be. And when they called my fucking name bro, that did it for me. Because all these years, it was a decade of loss, and finally getting that recognition.”
Ludacris also revealed that he received the call for his role in Fast & Furious while he was on tour with Eminem: “I got that call from John Singleton. I’m glad you asked that cause I was on tour with Eminem at that time. This was after the Outkast tour. So, I was on tour with Eminem. I’m about to go on stage in 20 minutes. I get a call from my agent, saying John Singleton wants you to put yourself on camera to try out and read these lines for 2 Fast 2 Furious. I’m about to go on stage. I’m concentrated on killing this crowd right now. We get the camera. I’m looking at the lines and I’m like ‘let me get in this character, let me read these lines’ and now we are like 12 minutes before showtime ‘fuck it just put me on camera, this is the best they gonna get right now’ so I put myself on camera, go out and kill the stage and the next day nigga called me and told me you got the part. And the rest is history ladies and gentlemen.”
