Ludacris Fails To Impress For All-Star Concert

Nathaniel Friedman of the Philadelphia Inquirer was on hand at the Will Smith & Friends concert at the half-full Electric Factory and wasn’t too impressed with headlining act Ludacris. Friedman said, “Even in his performance – which lasted only as long as it took to rattle off his seven biggest hits – the energy and enthusiasm never coalesced. Anthems such as ‘Welcome to Atlanta’ and ‘Southern Hospitality’ lacked the sting of the studio versions.”
