Ludacris managed to get a lot of talented females on his album, but there was one female that he would have loved to have worked with. Ludacris dreamed of working with Lauryn Hill, but was upset when he couldn’t make it happen.

“I think Lauryn Hill is like extremely talented and I can say I did try to do that, it just didn’t work itself out,” he says of the multiple Grammy-winning singer-rapper, whose only studio album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” has sold more than eight million units in the United States since its release in 1998.

Luda however did manage to scoop up Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj and Trina for the album, which made him see a lot of success. Be sure to check out his seventh album “Battle of The Sexes”.

Though he’s managed to surround himself with female rappers on the new album, Ludacris knows that women haven’t had the greatest success in hip-hop, especially in the last few years. He says that’s because female rappers misjudge their audience.

“They want to rap for the guys when they should be rapping and being themselves and talking about what’s going on with them,” said Ludacris. “We want to hear women talk more about what women do as opposed to trying to be like men or talk about what men do.”

“Battle of the Sexes” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album charts this month.
