Ludacris

In this special VMA edition of the Pulse Report, Ludacris clarifies who is being dissed on "War With God," Lil Wayne disses Gillie Da Kid and Remy Ma moves on without Fat Joe.

Earlier this week, SOHH.com set up shop at the Pre-VMA Media Forum and had the chance to chop it up with Luda, Weezy, Birdman, Remy Ma and Chamillionaire among many others.

1. Luda clarifies "War With God" target. It turns out that Ludacris' "War With God" wasn't about him afterwards. Within hours of the track leaking onto the internet earlier this summer, heads began speculating on who Luda was targeting on the track.Luda had then supposedly revealed that the song wasn't aimed towards Young Jeezy or T.I., but himself. Hmmmmm, not really! "They misquoted me saying it was about me. What I was telling them is that I divulged a lot of information about myself. I'm not battling myself on a record, that's ridiculous" Luda told SOHH.com exclusively. "What happens is, you got a lot of people taking subliminal shots at me, but nobody really says my name, so I'm not for sure, so that's my way of taking subliminal shots right back." So there you have it. One could say it's not aimed at anyone in particular. But if the shoe fits, wear it. "If anybody wanna catch feelings too hard then you can definitely do so," Luda added. "But I'm sitting here letting you know."

2. Weezy responds to Gillie Da Kid. While Gillie Da Kid has made his rounds, alleging that he has written for Lil Wayne, Cash Money's youngest in charge has yet to say much on the subject. Maybe cause the Birdman Junior doesn't have much to say. "Get rich, son...cause I am," Weezy challenged as he looked straight into the SOHH camera.

"That's just cheap talk," Birdman added. "We getting paid to talk." Weezy then continued, "All I'm saying is if you wrote something for me, how come you ain't rich. A nigga like me good. That nigga said he got 25 thousand a pop for when he does songs for us. Un-fucking believable!"

3. Remy steps out on her own. Last we heard, Remy was reportedly up for sale. Ma told SOHH she was already hard work on a sophomore disc, There's Somethin Else About Remy, but doesn't know where it'll be released. One thing is sure, don't expect it to drop via Terror Squad Records or SRC. "As far as the Joe situation, that's my dude but we gon keep it strictly friendship," Remy shared. "The whole business thing, I just felt like it was a conflict of interest to me, the business situation." Remy also spoke on the lack of label support the Ne-Yo-featured "So Good" received from SRC. "I wanted to kill people, but you know...that's illegal. I went up there (SRC offices) in April. I'm telling them, 'this is the one, I'm telling you. It could be the next 'Lean Back'... and they didn't wanna shoot the video," Remy recounted frustrated. "They had their own agenda on how they wanted things to work out. At the end of the day, they didn't shoot the video and the record is still being added. Even without the support, I've managed to stay in front of the line, mainstream, in people's eyes so you could see."

4. Chamillionaire speaks on working with Paul Wall and Mike Jones again. Though Chamillionaire and the Swishahouse camp have agreed to disagree, heads are hoping that a collaboration may still be in the cards. While he seemed iffy about recording with his former label mates, Chamillionaire didn't entirely dismiss the idea of working with them. "It definitely would be dope. I just can't rule that out," he told SOHH a future collaboration with Wall and Jones. "But I feel like we need to do our best to keep Houston moving right now. There's power in numbers. I think even a tour would be dope. If all of us went on a big tour and really just went everywhere across the nation and overseas, we could make it happen. It's just about everybody putting pride and egos to the side."

5. What you may not see at the VMAs. Sohh... as SOHH chopped it up with the likes of Luda, Pharrell Williams, Weezy and Birdman, the interviews unfortunately conflicted with Ciara, Snoop Dogg and Monica's availability. Missing them was cool, but missing Cassie was unacceptable. While you won't see her on any upcoming VMA-related podcast, you'll also miss me complaining to Slim Thug that he's the cause for me missing Cassie. You won't see rappers in awe as they cheese for photos with the Hulkster, you won't see Ne-Yo and Cool and Dre exchanging numbers and making plans to work together, Tyrese declaring he loves Remy as he passed by the SOHH camera or Rem calling Method Man all sorts of names, including his government to get his attention. Oh, and you definitely won't see me call Webstar of "Chiken Noodle Soop" fame Webster. However, you can catch some of the highlights of the Pre-VMA Forum on SOHH's VMA Sneak Peak.
