Ludacris Tells Aspiring Artists To Follow This One Important Rule

by Daryl Nelson

Ludacris shared some advice to up and coming artists on how to thrive in the music business.

"Don't take nothing personal in the music industry," he said during a Q&A. "'Cause every artist, man, we so passionate about our craft. Like, just don't take nothin' personal. Everybody has an agenda in this music industry and most of it is trying to cover they ass or do they job just to get a quick buck. So if it's somebody else that's doing something that pisses you off, don't let it ruin your creativity."

He went on.

"If you already put yourself in the mindset that you're not gonna take anything personal and that mistakes are gonna happen, and it's just based off your choices and actions, you just plow through that motherf*cker," said the rapper and actor. "Just stay focused. But that would be one thing I would tell myself. Don't take anything personal."

Luda recently announced that he was back in the lab with Timbaland, who he worked with on his first album "Back for the First Time." Before that he dropped visuals to his single "Vices," which looked like one of his crazy, inventive videos from back in the day.

What do you think about the advice Luda gave?
