Rapper Lil Jon's "Total Meditation" (NPR)

Just a few years ago Lil Jon was producing booze-promoting trashy rap hits like "Yeah!"

WARNING: Filth, "Yeah!" by Usher song featuring Lil Jon (who also produced the song) and Ludacris is a crass, vulgar sexual exploitation pop-rap hit song that got so big it catapulted Usher to the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Taylor Swift dancing in the bleachers to it and amping up footballer Travis Kelcey to win and go party on the Vegas strip with strippers and alcohol after the game.

Rap artist Lil Jon's latest album is a guided meditation

Ayesha Rascoe, NPR, March 3, 2024 (7:59 am ET) Weekend Edition Sunday (8-min listen)

A moment of Zen from NPR's Ayesha Rascoe (pronounced \eye-eesh-uh ross-koh\): She talks to rapper DJ producer Lil Jon who's all turnt up about his new guided spoken word album, Total Meditation, finding peace while being the life of the party. [He got uh kol'ina'skuppy at fiddy, so maybe he koming dahn? It's a Southern thang (Rascoe's accent) y'all woodent git it.]

If you shake your bottle rocket and hold it in your crotch, it'll pop off and shoot everywhere.

(LIL JON) Feb. 16, 2024: Now let's see if we understand this. The vulgar featured rapper who produced and sang on "Yeah!" with King of R&B Usher and Ludacris has had a change of heart and started practicing meditation?

Moreover, he likes it so much, he's teaching meditation and laying down relaxation tracks on his latest album instead of the mindless rap and hip-hop songs fans expected?

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu! (aka Hallelujah!) We're incredulous, but NPR's Blackest voice ever, Ayesha Rascoe from the Deep South (Durham, N.C.), assures us it's true on NPR radio ads.

She will be featuring the gangsta-rapper-cum-meditation-guide on tomorrow's episode of Weekend Edition Sunday (3/3/24).

Tune in to NPR at 8:00 am (Eastern), or at 2:00 pm (Pacific) as it repeats on scpr.org.
