Ludacris feat. Pharrell - "Moneymaker" video

Posted on October 6, 2006 10:08 AM

ludacris-greenmic.jpg

After a spell into the world of acting and other shit that rappers eventually do once they get a taste for that camera, Ludacris returns with his pet chimp Pharrell to bring us “Moneymaker,” [watch it now] a song and video that after two listens and views, I have to call complete boo boo juice. I love to see fine womenses like the next man, but damn. I feel like I’m watching the Ho Shopping Network.

I now understand why the Pussytrap Dolls had to "perform" this with them at the VMA.

I’d have to say The Man in the Yellow Skin trained his mini ape well. They straight up skipped organ grinder. George is ready for the big screen… and BITCHES! Man, I wish they had this adventure in paperback when I was growing up. Thank de lawd we can show it to our children now, though.

I know Cris Lova Lova’s got hoes in different area codes, but damn… when is enough enough? Has a rapper ever watched the final edit and been like “Damn, man… maybe this is just a few too many bitches?” I’d think the cost alone per spandex slave would make a nigga think twice, being that he has to pay the label back for the trimmage. Ah, sweet American culture of excess. This video is like the Super Size Me of hoes. Eh, no wait. I’m thinking about the Ying Yang video where they went swimming in a sea of chlamydia like Stooch McDuck.

As a Ludacris fan, I’m highly disappointed by this bum-ass song. However, I’m far more incensed by this video. Ludacris is known for excellent videos. This is not how you lead your shit off, holmes. Wait, what the fuck am I saying? Didn’t he just take the #1 spot on the charts this week? I forgot where I was for a moment. This is exactly how you do it. Nevermind.

Like Busta, this haircut thing is working for Luda. He looks less like a Disney caricature and more like Stephen A. Smith. Shit, it works. Now we need to run them clippers to T-Pain and see if he’ll stop bouncing around like he just got the unrated "Queer as Folk" DVD set for half-price.

Luda, I’m ashamed. I expected so much more. But I’m more upset with myself for said expectations being so high.

P.S.: Niggas need to keep the Neptune chimp out of their videos for a little while. If I have to cover another video with this leprechaun in it, I think I’m gonna just pick a middle school and open fucking fire.

    LMAO,I thought this was the wrong song for a single, but the sales don't lie.

  • I completely co-sign with everything you said Ron. I'm a huge Luda fan, but I was soooo disappointed by this shit and I really don't need to see Pharrell in anything else for a minute.

    "If I have to cover another video with this leprechaun in it, I think I’m gonna just pick a middle school and open fucking fire."

    Why not, it seems like everybody else is.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^SO HILIARIOUS
    I totally agree. That video formula works, and at the same time, it sickens me. Tired of seeing it /tired of seeing Pharrell look so bought.

  • i agree too. the video and the single were cliche at best. no surprise he went to #1. like RG said, "The Formula," chicks+pharell+random shots of jewelry=immediate star status. seems easy enough.

    i like luda but not feeling the single. haven't checked out release therapy for that reason. maybe the 2nd single will reel me back in.

  • Ahhh.. LOLOL.. Ron Mexico ... you're one funny dude. I agree a 100% with this blog. I'm a Luda fan but I was disappointed with this single. His performances have been boring lately also.. I call them my "cure for insomania". Though his sales have been good.. this single is not enough to get me interested in this album. Money maker is so cliche it's sickening. Money - check, Cars - check, throng of video hoes - check, high profile producer - check... it's the worst. I'm hoping for a better 2nd single.

  • October 6, 2006 1:53 PM
  • Truth 24/7 says...
  • Girls Gone Wild woulda been a better first single, although its still got the singin', dancin' leprechaun - Pharrell - probably make an appearance in the video...Those Neptunes STAY busy though...

  • I don't know about u all but I'm a HUUUGE Luda fan and I didn't mind it as a 1st single at all. The man is smart. Look at his previous 4 albums (Back For The First Time 3,000,000+), (Word Of Mouf 3,000,000+), (Chicken*N*Beer 3,000,000+), and (The Red Light District 2,000,000+) (not to mention his 1st real CD "Incognegro" sold 50,000 copies independantly!!! The man is a genious. Ludacris knows exactly what he's doing. Do the math. That's why he's successful.

  • edgar that mexican guy says...
  • I was never feeling Luda anyway (Except for Virgo, but that was because of Doug E and Nas). But yeah, this video was the epitomy of what you expect in a rap video nowadays. I was thinking of the boondocks when i watched it "Booty butt, booty butt, booty butt cheecks".

  • This is just like busta rhymes all over again(without papoose).
    Both these dudes used to have alot of hair, both had an eccentric rap style that was original, BOTH had dope videos. And Now, Both have cut off there hair, made the same corny regular rap song and video, and both have flopped.
    I would like to take this moment to tell everyone I'm no longer listening to american rap

    This shit looks like Gold Digger to me.

  • Ok, so it wasnt just me then. I thought a strip club exploded and bitches just landed on the set.

    The second single is "conscious"... well for Luda. Its alright but people who like what we have come to know as quintessential Luda (money, ho's and ATL) might not dig it. Ah well. There's always Chicken and Beer.

  • Get a life....you sound real bitch like son. "check his bank account"..what the fugg that got to do with the fact that rap is stale, and that its the same fuggin formula in every song and video. You can turn down the sound, and its just like every other video, Shit is just wack son. And it aint hatin'. At least with the "old" school, mufuggaz had different ideas.

  • Stylezz says...
  • aww man Ron you still kill me lolz

    Is it me or is this the slowest booty shakin song ever? Don't be fooled by the dancers....just cause they are goin hard doesnt mean they are goin fast lolz

    Oh look! It's Picture in Picture hoe edition

    Thanks Ludacris for clearing up that that question man has always been asking: how long did it my momma to make me?

    Is that a blinged out Africa pendant? Ummm did you check to make sure those weren't blood diamonds? That's like being an HIV/AIDS advocate but having unprotected sex...many...many times.

    The girl with the money gun...that exact shot looks EXACTLY like a photoshoot Cassie did a while ago for Complex magazine.

    I love Pharrell...I really do. But something tells me he really can't beat box. Like all he's ever done was the clicks on drop it like its hot.

    Wait a min....all the other times luda clicked his click thing he was with girls....why are you clicking it with Pharrell now? What are YOU TWO up to?!

    I really liked this song when I heard it. Now it's like meh....long ass intro...long ass middle. Cut those down and maybe I'll enjoy the song again
