On a 1990 single off LL Cool J‘s Walking With a Panther LP, the battle-rap master advised his competitor to set down the mic and dance like the female he is—hence the jingling earrings. More of a lover (or, at least, luster) than a fighter, Ludacris puts a more literal spin on the the record’s theme on the lead single off his eighth LP, fixing his gaze on the Jingaling anatomy of a woman working the stripper pole at his favorite club. L.A. Posse, Cool James and Marley Marl‘s original boardwork gets a 2012 makeover courtesy of Da Internz, who supplement a tweaked version of the original sample (from the Rhythm Addicts’ Scorpio) with a fresh, syncopated percussion rhythm. While Mr. Bridges is too hypnotized by the bouncing booty to deliver much in the way of sophisticated lyricism (Representative sample: “You best come with your A-Game / Cause I’m longer than freight train.”) but he couches his lecherous bars in characteristically masterful flows. Time to weigh in: does this retro-freaky selection bode well for Ludaversal? Whatever your take, keep it locked to our front page for the latest on the yet-unscheduled set.

Welcome back, Luda. But I know you can do better. I hope this isn't me being harsh, but I have higher standards for the Luda-miester.

He's been my favorite rapper since Word of Mouf but after Battle of the Sexes and a steady slide into guest feature mediocrity, I'm one single away from jumping off the Luda train. This isn't horrible but it better be one of maybe 2 or 3 radio singles on this album. Any more cop outs than that and I give up.

I didn't even get through the first verse. FIRST, the songs title is 'Jingalin'. Yes. Jingalin. The beat is hardly a highlight. Your 'wannabe club beat' but ultimately fails. As soon as the first 'Jing-a-lin' dropped from Luda's mouth I stopped listening. Luda, this is terrible.

I used to be a big fan of Luda but come on, what the hell is going on with this song....Now a days i only like it when he features in songs, because he just cant write songs like he use to.

This is @*#$! ridiculously poor. What is Luda on these days? He must love making the films more.

If Ludacris wasn't biting Big Sean's style before, he certainly seems to be now! It sounds like Dance A$$ part 2...I can't lie, the beat is pretty fresh.
But yes, I agree Luda's rap skills are becoming quite average. I hope Ludaversal isn't in the same vein as Battle of the Sexes, that album was crazy mediocre. I think the chorus is lacking on here as well, its a bit all over the place. However, having seen Ludacris live, I think this will fit right in with his high energy set, especially with he crazy bass! |

Wow, the video is just as bad as the song. Project X wannabe clip. Car in the pool, flamethrower, no original material at all.

whoa I was freaked out and confused/puzzled by the video and bored halfway through. But still jumpin' beat and catchy vocals brings out a mediocre swing to me.
