by on November 21st, 2008
Whoever said that rappers dont care about anything but themselves, must not know Ludacris. Despite having an album on the way, the Atlanta rapper is planning on bringing holiday relief to 500 families in Atlanta through his non-profit organization "The Ludacris Foundation".
In an interview disucssing the event Luda spoke about the amount of times his foundation has done this, and expressed his joy for being able to do such a good deed. "This is the foundation's sixth year giving away turkeys and distributing food boxes for Thanksgiving, I especially look forward to this time of year because it allows me directly touch the people we are trying to help."
On the 22nd of this month, the foundation will distribute food items to areas on the southside of Atlanta. The event is for families who have been pre-selected by community organizers who have worked with the foundation in the past.
Ludacris also spoke about the foundations focus on the youth durring the holidays. "Our major focus is youth at the holiday time...we uplift youth by uplifting the family"
According to the president of the foundation, Roberta Sheilds, "The Foundation helps people year around through our LudaCares Program. We want to do something to help families have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day – It's a great feeling to sit with your loved ones and share the many blessings that God has bestowed upon us. If we add to their blessings in a small way then we have accomplished our goal."
Some of the sponsors involved in the food that the families receive are Sam's Club, The Schwan Food Company and GM.
On November 23rd Luda will be on the northside of Atlanta, distributing more food to local residents.

why can’t all rappers be like Ludacris?
this is some good stuff to see…instead of promoting an album into the ground, he’s promoting the uplifiting of the youth and the family?
give this nigga an award ASAP.
this is proof that LudaCares lol.
Jus Sayin..
ITS ALSO A REAL BITCH MOVE TO USE HUNGRY KIDS AS A TAX WRITEOFF, AND PUBLICITY.
GUESS RAPPERS AND, OR MOST BLACK PEOPLE IN A POSITION OF POWER WOULD RATHER BUY MILLION DOLLAR ESTATES AND MILLION DOLLAR CARS THAN HELP TO EDUCATE A WHOLE GENERATION OF BLACK/BROWN CHILDREN WHO THEY THEMSELVES SOMETIMES INFLUENCE.
You’re the reason more celebrities don’t do things like this.
Wtf are you doing to help the less fortunate?
Let people do what they can, every little bit helps.
Bitch.
AND IM WORKING ON MORE. AM I RICH? FAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR FROM IT, BUT I AM WELL EDUCATED AND A LITTLE MORE FORTUNATE
SO I DO WHAT I CAN
If you were really well-educated you’d know that you shouldn’t criticize others for doing good, because every bit of good done is a little work towards a better place for our children.
ALL BUSINESS BABY!!!!!
AND THEM KIDS ARE FUCKING FAT, WELL FED FAT KIDS NOT STARVING HUNDRED POUND CRACKBABYS WITH NO FAMILY
I ALSO WORK ONE PART TIME AND ONE FULL TIME JOB TO ONLY MAKE AROUND 50K YEARLY. I FULLY REFURNISHED A YOUTH CENTER FOR AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON SO DONT SAY SHIT ABOUT ME WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATLEY “PSYBER GAYOS”?
In addition, this might be a bit below the belt, but well-educated people don’t adopt 7 kids among their own children when they only make 50K a year. ESPECIALLY if you donate so much of it to charity. How can you support a family of more than 8 with 45,000 a year without being housebroken? It doesn’t make sense.
Anyways, big ups to Luda on this one. Definitely buying his album on Monday.
1. you cant prove a damn thing you just said. so all that is worthless.
2. the fact that your bragging about how much you help your community proves that you are NOT selfless.
3. i fuckin dare your bitch ass to talk shit to one of the 500 kids Luda is helpin out and tell them they are part of a publicity stunt.
fuckin ass hole grow some balls
.
i jus gave some of the last cans of food in my cabinet away…n i’m 16 wit NO JOB livin in poverty
but i know its people out there broker than me and wishin they had some of the things i have..so i gave em up n it felt damn good
ONCE AGAIN BIG UPS TO LUDA
can’t wait till Tuesday i’m coppin the album
Good to see that he is doing this too…deeper then rap right there
I know you know so stop actin ignorant, spit in front of the fans now they catchin wind of it/
Yo my crime syndicate lookin omnipotent, I refine instruments u define impotence…
And yea son is steamed got a full head of it/
My sole sentiment will now extol benefits/
Till it’s sold then I mold there is no precedent/
Bout to blow like the president, make dough like embezzlement…”
U need to check out this track and more from Angry Mic at myspace.com/bizoangrymic. This dude spits pure crack that a couple thousand people are already addicted to. Bringing multi’s, metaphors, similes, imagery, wordplay, vocabulary, and content back to hip hop. Everyone betta be readin up and checkin this kid out too cuz it’s inevitable this guy blows up. Brooklyn is tired of this nonsensical rap with funny fuckin voices and people braggin about money they dun really have. Pay attention cuz if you dun like this kid, u wouldn’t know real hip hop if it smacked u in ya face. This isn’t toughguy rap or gun music either, just shit you can vibe to and bump whatever mood you’re in.
And when your done checkin out the myspace u can download his latest mixtape/album on datpiff. It’s called Intervention, just search for “Angry Mic” and you can finally have sumthin you can bump for free, cuz thats what music and art is: property of the greater community.
please people….education! it does you a world of good!
