MTV has confirmed Ludacris will be shooting a split video for "Potion" and "Number One Spot" January 14th through 16th.
Not sure how this is going to work at radio, though. Which song, if not both, get the push?

Half or 3/4 of the video for one song, and the remaining for another. Two different songs in the same video.

I really don't even think "#1 Spot" should be a video, the only reason why this is happening is to get publicity with the whole Austin Powers/Quincy Jones thing. "Potion" is gonna tear up tho. Oh yeah, and I was just curious, does anyone ever think Luda will be the #1 rapper at some point in his career?

If he stops releasing mediocre albums instead of just blazing, catchy singles then maybe.

Ludacris is on BET RapCity right now, I'm not sure if it's a re-run from a few weeks ago, or new.
I would think it's new because they probably aired re-runs over the holidays...but I forget.
He is talking about Red Light District, out now, etc.
I agree, I think it's stupid to do a split video. Why not just give Potion a full video? ???
I guess they think the Austin Powers sample might be appealing to some people, and more exposure for the album. But they could have made that the 4th single/video or something.
I really like "Pimpin All Over the World" but it's probably too boring to be a single.

IMO Single Should Go LIke This:
"Get Back" "The Potion" "Child of the Night" "Blueberry Yum Yum" "Spur of the Moment"
of course with "Virgo" being stuck in between two of those, but listed as Nas' single, not Luda's

i havent heard too much of this and his last album, but potion is the best song hes done since the 'word of mouf' cd. itz vintage luda. hes got the comedy and edge back into his lyrics, lots of similes, and it has a great 'lets dance around the campfire' tribal beat. it sounds like the luda of old, before he really blew up. easily beats stand up, splash, yeah, lovers, holidae etc... potion shouldnt do much on pop, but should blow up on rythmic/urban.

At this point, I think either one canbe a hit. He should just release one as the 2nd and the other as his 3rd single.

"Number One Spot" is a bad song. Ludacris is becoming more and more of a worse rapper with everything he does.
And of course, the irony is that in this song, he's rapping about becoming the best rapper, meanwhile the song itself is nothing short of horrid...lol
