About This Track
A track built on repetition and comedic exaggeration, 'Ho' rides a minimalist beat by Bangladesh to deliver Ludacris's relentless catalogue of accusations. The hook is blunt and memorable, the wordplay deliberate and exhaustive: he finds hoes everywhere, in every context, turning the insult into something approaching absurdist performance. The song does not court subtlety. What keeps it from pure nastiness is the tone. Ludacris treats the premise with such over-the-top theatrical energy that the track becomes less a genuine attack and more a comedy routine, one that extends the joke far enough that it begins to circle back on itself and the men delivering it. By the final verse, he has already admitted that most men are hoes too, which rather undercuts the moral high ground he never actually claimed to hold.
"Ho" is a track by Ludacris, from the album Back for the First Time, released 15th July 1998. Full lyrics are available below.
