No matter what the song, Ludacris steps to the mic like he’s onstage in front of thousands, and no matter what he’s doing on Chicken-N-Beer, he always makes sure it’s a performance. “Blow It Out,” “Stand Up,” and the nothing-but-punchlines “Hip-Hop Quotables” are definitive Ludacris: pranking us, himself, and everything in between with a bellow that is equal parts country preacher, irate Grandpa, and radio shock jock (Luda got his start as a DJ on Atlanta’s Hot 97.5 FM).
