Art and money

Ludacris as curator of his own hip-hop museum:


But then came "I Do It for Hip Hop," a self-consciously lo-fi celebration of precapitalist creativity that on Ludacris's new album, features his fellow millionaires Jay-Z and Nas.

"I don't do it for the money/I do it from the heart," Ludacris rapped. "The van Gogh flow/Luda do it 'cause it's art."

Then, quite unexpectedly, all those faux-naïf rhymes came true. A cavalcade of guests emerged to take the stage for a few moments each, a showcase of New York hip-hop history with a devoted fan as curator. It turned this show on its ear.

L L Cool J's "Rock the Bells" was invigorating, and Jadakiss's "We Gon Make It" sounded like rolling thunder. When Jim Jones and Juelz Santana emerged to perform "Pop Champagne," the flamboyant hip-hop anthem of the moment, Ludacris felt comfortable enough to put art back aside for a second: "I made the Forbes list, yeah, I know you seen it/Eight figures so if I say it, you know I mean it."
