Nov 30, 2:31 PM EST Obama, Ludacris Talk About Guiding Kids
CHICAGO (AP) -- Barack Obama is coming for that Number One Spot. The senator, contemplating a run for president, met privately with Ludacris on Wednesday. "We talked about empowering the youth," said the rapper, whose real name is Chris Bridges.
Ludacris was in town to launch the YouthAIDS "Kick Me" campaign to raise HIV/AIDS awareness during a stop at Northwestern University in the Chicago suburb of Evanston.
The meeting at Obama's downtown Chicago office was a meeting of two star powers: Obama, who enjoys rock star-like status on the political scene, and Ludacris, a music superstar and budding actor.
They both have won Grammy awards: Obama for readings from his memoir, "Dreams From My Father," and Luda for his verse on Usher's "Yeah!" Bridges said meeting Obama, known for his warm personal style, was like meeting with a relative. Obama declined to comment after their meeting, but walked with Bridges to the elevator as he left.
The spotlight has been on Obama, a first-term Democrat from Illinois, as he mulls a run for the White House in 2008. Obama has said he would make a decision in the coming months.
Ludacris' latest album, "Release Therapy," debuted at No. 1 in September. His numerous hits include "Number One Spot" and the current "Moneymaker." He also has delivered well-reviewed performances in the Oscar-winning film "Crash" and "Hustle & Flow."

I figured out Ludacris is officially my favorite rapper, everything he touches is great. I love all of his albums and even his role in Crash was good. A lot better than anyone out there!

"Runaway Love" is great but it isnt doing anything for his album. Well, the album is platinum. His last album just missed 2x platinum I believe. Anyways, I'm sure he will get about the same because he has at least one more single and most likely two, plus Runaway Love hasn't reached its peak yet. I think the CD is doing great based on only three singles (really 2, but you have to count the other one because there was a video and airplay)

You do have to factor in his success with Disturbing the Peace. They do have a Gold CD, so that pushes it to 12 million sold. Then, he's had 3 Gold singles, so that's 13. 5 million sold.

I'm glad Luda finally won a Grammy for all his hard-earned work. He's still my favorite emcee even though RT isn't as good as his last two CDs to me and I wanted Lupe to take it home instead. lol.

Las Vegas Super-busy rapper and actor Ludacris took a break from his packed schedule to serenade birthday girl Paris Hilton, who celebrated her big two-six at the hip Body English club at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Feb. 17. Post-party, it was back to work for recent Grammy-winner Luda. "I'm reprising my role on Law & Order this season and working on the next album," he told TeenPeople.com.

Lupe = FLOP RT is his best. His best is Back For the First Time. No Luda song on any album will be able to top the classic "Southern Hospitality". Its basically the track that epitomizes Ludacris and his music.

Ludacris Seeks Privacy After Dad's Death ATLANTA (AP) -- Ludacris has thanked his fans for their support and asked for privacy to grieve following the death of his ailing father. Wayne Brian Bridges, 52, died Sunday in an Atlanta hospital after a long illness, said Barry Florence, a publicist for the rapper. At the Grammys earlier this month, Ludacris, 29, dedicated his award for best rap album for "Release Therapy" to his father, saying his dad was in critical condition and fighting for his life. "Mr. Wayne Bridges, I love you to death," he said at the televised Los Angeles ceremony. Ludacris, whose real name is Chris Bridges, also won a Grammy at this year's awards for best rap song for "Money Maker." "We are overwhelmed by the generous outpouring of love, condolences and support from family members, friends, fans and the many well-wishers," said a statement released Monday by Ludacris' family. "We thank you for your prayers and hope you will understand our need for privacy during this sorrowful time." The statement said Wayne Bridges was "a great influence on his son" and had exposed him to music as a young child. Florence said the family had chosen not to publicly announce the cause of death and was planning a private funeral in Atlanta.
