Granted what Luda's doing isn't original but that's his choice. I think this highlights a huge identity crisis for some in the black community, apparently some people are just too stupid to make their own decisions and therefore have to somehow be protected from harming themselves so no selling or promoting liquor because it poisons the black community which of course is bullshit. The only thing poisoning the black community is ignorance and a tribalistic mentality that says we must all act the same because we share the same skin color or ethnic history. Alcoholism is not exclusive to any specific groups of people.</description></item><item><title>re: Ludacris Launches International Cognac Brand</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2009/06/24/21698891.aspx#21702847</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:47:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:21702847</guid><dc:creator>Roamn</dc:creator><description>I'll buy it, hurry up and get it on the ship Luda!
