Can’t get enough of Ludacris’ Conjure mixtape? Well in an interview with MTV. The Mouf of the Souf discusses the tape’s beat selection. If you haven’t already, check it out here.
“O Let’s Do It.” “Atlanta’s been on fire for quite some time,” Ludacris said, before delving into why he got on Waka Flocka Flame’s beat. “We stay on fire. Right about now, it’s a lot of crazy aggressive beats that’s coming out of the hometown. That keeps me inspired; aggressive tracks I feel I gotta put a voice too. That’s a beat that caught my attention the first time I heard it. I was in the studio with Gucci Mane. It’s aggressive. I felt like I wanted to do something on it. I made it happen. What am I talking about [on the track]? It’s about lifestyle, about culture, expressing yourself. It’s about getting gritty and grimy in the streets. All the hustlers know that. Let’s do it.“
“All Da Way Turnt Up.” “The whole record is talking about being yourself, turning your music up as loud as hell and not caring what anybody had to say,” Cris explains about his takeover of Roscoe Dash’s record. “It’s about you being too loud. Sometimes you get tickets for disturbing the peace. When you see a cop, you have to turn it down.“
“Pennies.” “Something that happened a while ago, but a lot of people didn’t get to hear it,” Luda says about the original version by the Cool Kids. “I definitely love the underground and all the artists for making names for themselves and making sure they have a following of their own. That’s something the Cool Kids have done and continue to do. I still have a passion for hip-hop and I still love it. No matter how many records I’ve sold, I feel a need to get on underground records.”
