Although fans won't be having another 50 Cent/Kanye West showdown this year, they can look forward to Ludacris and Kanye West both dropping on November 25.

The question is, does Luda plan to battle it out with Ye? "On this particular record, if he was to send a dis song to me, he might be sending it in Auto-Tune," joked Luda, according to MTV. "Nah, man. For real, it's gonna be two great albums and I think what [Kanye] is doing is inspiring. People are looking for something new. From the songs I heard from him, I thought that's just what he was doing — new and interesting."

Luda's one goal is clear - to reestablish his reign as one of the game's fiercest emcees. "I'm rapping my heart out. It's an exciting day to go to retail. I feel like my album [is] such a presentation and far different from anything I've done. Every song is movie- or TV-based. It's not just audio, it's an experience."
