Ludacris Is The New Mr. Telephone Man
Have you ever been hated on, only to come back and shine on your hater like Rudolph’s nose on a foggy Christmas Eve? Well thats what Ludacris is doing after inking a multi million dollar deal with AT&T becoming the first hip hop artist to sign to the corporation. I know a lot of y’all remember when Bill O’Rielly got Luda’s pulled from the Coca-cola Pepsi ads…well this more than makes up for it.
“I had a lot a fun shooting this commercial,” Luda said. “If you like the AT&T commercials you’ve seen, then you’ll love this one.”
The rapper plays a guy who doesn’t have AT&T phone service and misses an important call. The “phone,” also played by Luda, tells viewers exactly what he missed out on by not having service.
His installment in the campaign will begin running next month. (Source)
Way to go Luda, I’m glad to see that cutting off the braids help you get a safer image.

July 9, 2008 @ 2:08 pmI think Luda has so much as an artist and as an individual. We so many of these rappers and other entertainers who never grow up and diversify their portfolios get left behind and try to breathe life back into a dead career. Luda is one of the hardest working rappers out there.

July 9, 2008 @ 3:49 pmNice to see a rapper stay level-headed and out of trouble while doing big things. He is business-savvy and doesn’t have several illegit kids. I’m impressed.

July 10, 2008 @ 11:48 amYes. I wonder what Pepsi has to say about Chris now and days. That little political stunt they pulled with him made me stop drinking Pepsi products. I don’t like it when major corporations play politics with someone who’s a positive role model from my community.
