Ludacris recently released a new song, "Act A Fool," the lead single from the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack which is due out on May 27. How did the he come up with the concept for the song?

Ludacris explained, "'Act A Fool' is just like one of those sayings that people have been saying in the South for a long time. It's just basically describing when somebody does something to the extreme. So the song, you know, I tried to make that perfect balance of having it a song that can be played in the club that if people don't want to relate it to the movie they don't have to, but then at the same time I did relate it to the movie."

2 Fast 2 Furious, which opens June 6, stars Paul Walker as police officer Brian O' Connor, who has been stripped of his badge and then attempts to infiltrate a Miami street racing circuit to redeem himself. The movie, directed by John Singleton, also stars Ludacris, Jin, Fabolous, and Tyrese.
