Yet so much is overlooked. The classics, overrated. The current state of the industry is passed off as uninspired art... ... ... But my guest tonight comes from one of the most underrated forms of cinematic magic ever created and adapted for the visual eye... [ long pause ] Music cinematography. A dying art form, some may say. I disagree however... it cannot be dead, because it is still alive. A ha ha ha ha ha ha! [ random laughs ] Our guest on the show tonight is not only one of the best performing artists of today, he is the best recording artist of all time. Please welcome Mr. Chris Bridges! [ Chris Bridges, a.k.a. Ludacris, walks onto screen and sits down ] Ludacris: What up, J-to-tha-izzle? James Lipton: [ stares into space ] ... ... ... Ludacris: Dude, you OK? James Lipton: [ snaps out of it ] Oh yes, sir, I am most definitely fine. Now, let's get down to it. Your given name is Chris Bridges, but your callsign is currently... Ludacris. I must ask you the first question, why do you choose to misspell your nickname? Ludacris: Man, you don't understand. My real name be Chris, for sho' ... but I be like "Yo, my name Ludacris", but see, the name Chris in there, you know wha' I'm sayin? James Lipton: A master of poetry. A simple master of poetry. A year ago, you released the lyrical masterpiece which was your album Back for the First Time. Some of the greatest lines of lyric were written here on this very disc. I shall read what I consider to be the most awe-inspiring words I have ever heard on record. [ James Lipton reads the chorus line of "Southern Hospitality" from a paper ] James Lipton: [ reading in monotone ] "All you players in the house, that can buy the bars... and the balling ass niggaz with the candy cars... if you are a pimp... and you know how to love them hoes... when you get on the floor, nigga, throw... dem... bows." [ puts down the paper and is awestruck ] Truly a masterpiece of the written word Ludacris: Dude, whatcha talkin' bout, I wrote them rhymes when I doin' lines wit' Nate Dogg. James Lipton: For real. For very very real. ... [ looks out into space ] Ludacris: Dude, whatever you smokin', man, give me da hook-upz! We don't got non'a dat in Jawja! James Lipton: ... ... I'm sorry, what was that? Ludacris: Yo, man, hook me up! I got pros! James Lipton: Pros? Ludacris: Man, you be smokin' dust. You probably never heard my rhymes befo'. James Lipton: This is true. Your lyrics do rhyme. A ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ... Ludacris: Dirty white biatch! If you was in Jawja right now, yo azz be on da flo' and us brothas from da A.T.L. be cappin' on you bizzatch! James Lipton: He speaks in tongues but the words cut to a new level of meaning. Thank you Chris Bridges, you are a delight. A pure delight. Ludacris: To hell wit' youz.
