World Series At-Bat Music Preview: New York Yankees

28 October 2009 1:31 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

Earlier today, we attempted to handicap the 2009 World Series (which starts in only a few hours) by taking a look at the at-bat songs for the Philadelphia Phillies. This time, we take a look at the lineup offered up by the New York Yankees. It's a less eclectic batch of tunes for sure, but possibly more effective, as it's filled top-to-bottom with badass New York hip-hop and tough guy tunes sure to swing any game in the Bronx's favor.

It begins with Derek Jeter and Jay-z's "Empire State of Mind" (which he and Alicia Keys will perform live during Game 2 on Thursday night), a great New York anthem for a great New York team (and a great New Yorker). Johnny Damon uses Saliva's "I Walk Alone" as his entrance tune, yet another track that connects baseball and wrestling (it's the same song used by WWE star Batista). Mark Teixeira uses »

Ludacris Advocates For Leadership, Service At National Press Club Luncheon

23 October 2009 1:04 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

This afternoon, the National Press Club got a visit from Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges, who stopped by one of the group's regular luncheons to plug the fundraising dinner for his Ludacris Foundation, advocate for leadership and service and perform "Get Back." (Just kidding on that last part.)

Though most people probably consider him the rapper behind "What's Your Fantasy" and "Money Maker" first and an actor from films like "Hustle & Flow" and "Crash" second, Luda was right at home behind the Npc podium. With his mother Roberta Shields by his side (she's the president of the Ludacris Foundation), the rapper joked about the possibilities of running for office (he's not interested in challenging Barack Obama in 2012) and plugged his work on "Law & Order." "'Gamer' is in theaters, too," he joked.

Once he got down to business, he spoke candidly about his involvement in philanthropy and defended the work of »

Ludacris And Carmelo Anthony Pay A Visit To 'Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory'

20 October 2009 12:16 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

By Eric Ditzian

I want to switch MTV jobs. All is fine and dandy within the toasty pop-culture confines of MTV News, but when I see a day in the life of Rob Dyrdek and the amusement park-esque warehouse he calls his office, I start thinking I need to flee our Times Square home and latch onto anything that has to with Dyrdek's "Fantasy Factory."

Case in (jealous) point: In this week's upcoming season finale on MTV, the skateboarder-turned-reality-tv star invites Ludacris and NBA All-Star and Denver Nuggets franchise player Carmelo Anthony over for a play date. It's every little kid's dream: Motorbikes, skateboard ramps, zip lines and giant pits filled with foam to break your landing after pulling insane, you-should-really-know-better stunts.

"You skateboard on this?" Luda asks at one point. "What happens when yo a-- falls smooth on the concrete?"

"It hurts," replies Dyrdek. "It hurts."
