Who are you talkin about? Woah there. I know a song with Ludacris and Lil' Jon.
Step away from rap songs, it seems to confusing for you right now.

there is a song with ludacris, lil john, and usher. that is the one in which ludacris calls usher "ursher" -- not very hard to comprehend. maybe *you* should stay away from rap songs.

Who are you talking about? Whos ludicris? Maybe i know about the song and just wondering who is "ludicris" and btw the name of the song is "Yeah". maybe *you* should step away from trying to re-burn someone.

No, it really is just him being silly....trust me...

Umm....if people seriously think that mispronouncing Usher in a song (which Ludacris most likely meant to do, seeing as how he isn't always the most serious-minded person alive) is going to make our youth more ignorant than they already are, then yeah, they have some issues.

My guess? He said it because he thought it sounded funny.

this is exactly the case. I mean, he started out being a radio DJ...is it really unfathomable for him to have a sense of humor?

Somebody needs to smack these guys upside the head....and Snoop Dogg needs to be whacked with a lead pipe for that izzle sh*t....I can feel the embolism in my brain getting ready to burst whenever I hear him talk like that.

I am a very angry person. :)

If you're talking about Through the Wire, his mouth was wired shut when he did that song, thus why it sounds weird.

No, he's talking about "All Falls Down'", which is based on a spoken-word piece that he made, and then later turned into a song...the "urr" is done intentionally basically making fun of the people that do that in St. Louis and other places.

They do it to piss of white people with sticks up there ass who like to bitch about the black mans successful luring of young adults who don't allow themselves be bothered by music they don't even listen to.

But really......

.......you and all the other rap haters will see your just being racist and stuck in your ways and realize what you're hearing is the expression of another culture.
