    Luda is a money-making machine.


    He can go back and forth through genres, but I'm not a fan of his "Battle of the Sexes" stuff.


    I loved "Theater of the Mind," but it didn't sell well, so I'm sure this is why he's working with that he-she, Justin Bieber.

    I could have sworn bieber was 13, not 16! Yikes!

    To his credit, he is popular with the artists and rappers in the music industry for whatever reason...

    Usher endorsed him...

    but still, his balls haven't dropped. Any rapper who works with him should get a demerit.

    Luda sold out a long time ago when he played an elf in Vince Vaughn's movie, Fred Claus.

    This song does get a radddicals amount of air play & this kid sounds likes he's 12 or something when he's singing.

    pop stars = sell outs and there are alot of rappers out there who are pop stars first. its no different than any other genre of music - there are people in any style who are doing corporate-mainstream stuff and also people who are doing less instantly digestible, more creative stuff.

    Yes because rappers have to cuss, degrade women and be in videos with bikini hoes and da possy talk'n 'bout shoot'n someone up. This is an outrage.

    90% of musical performers are "sell outs". 50 hustled vitamin water, Jay-Z got all those things he endorses, Kanye had his Louis Vuitton shoe campaign. If you're not "selling out" today as an artist, you're not making money.
