Ciara (Nude) and Ludacris On Newsstands
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Past the Atlanta-related quote on the front of this week’s Billboard from Kid Rock — “It was a good, old-fashioned fight at the [Buford Highway] Waffle House — no guns, no knives” — on page 22, there is the cover story on local rapper-actor-entrepreneur Ludacris.
In it, the Grammy winner born Christopher Bridges discusses his Oct. 21 album release “Theater of the The Mind”; his upcoming movie appearances in “Max Payne” and “RocknRolla”; his current “Battleground Earth” reality show with rocker Tommy Lee; his new Midtown restaurant Straits; his two new websites — WeMix.com and MyGhetto.com; and the restructuring of his Atlanta-based Disturbing Tha Peace record label.
Chances are though, this pretty much straightforward, industry article, won’t garner as much attention as fellow Atlantan Ciara’s cover story in Vibe.
Make that, the cover (above).
But inside the issue hitting stands this weekend she reportedly discusses her long-rumored relationship with 50 Cent; her split with Atlanta producer Jazze Pha; the pitfalls of fame (“People are gonna say what they wanna say…They said I was a man! It doesn’t get any worse than that”); the right way to date (“Take your time to get to know somebody before you involve the physical aspect…It’s just not the way to start off. It creates confusion. When you subtract those things, it allows you to focus more on who the person is”); and the new album (“You’re gonna get more attitude, more aggressiveness — everything is intensified…You get your sensual vibe. You’re gonna get the street. You’re gonna get the hood”).
Looking forward to the next Ludacris and Ciara albums? Surprised that the woman who once sung about keeping her “Goodies” in the jar, is now doing a cover like this?
