He's one of the biggest All-around stars today.

I don't know why, But I'm actually trusting

The general on this one.

I don't know. He booked our trip to l.A.,

So, you know, I guess We got to trust him.

Ugh, that's debatable.

This could be, like, One of his old friends

From back in the day's House.

Dude, I don't trust the general, But I'm excited.

-hello? -it is him! Yes!

Luda!

Wait, wait, wait, Wait, wait a second.

You sons of bitches.

No, no, no, no, man.

I've been calling For years

Trying to get you Guys to my house.

You finally show up So --

Wayde: we thought -- we thought The general was lying.

Yeah, the general was Telling the truth.

We didn't believe him.

Once in your life, the general's Telling us the truth.

Don't you feel bad You didn't follow up sooner?

What the hell, man?

He'd been telling us, luda, For such a long time

We never believed him.

So why the hell did it take this Long for you guys to come here?

You don't know the general.

Exactly!

Man, get in this damn house Right now, man.

I just want to show you around The house for a little while,

If that's cool. -this is nice.

This is beautiful. Look at this table.

Paid a lot of money For this table.

As a matter of fact, I never get to show it off.

Check this out.

Boom.

-wow. -oh, it moves. Look at that.

-look at that. -yeah.

-I'm liking that. -that's pretty cool.

So, sometimes you want to eat With, you know, 8 people,

But then every now And then you want to eat

With a little bit more, Say about 10.

He likes To eat by himself.

You like To eat by yourself?

I like to eat anytime.

I don't care if I'm by myself or with people.

But the table's really nice, And on top of that,

Look at that view.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Come check out the view.

-oh, my god. -check out the view.

Oh, my god. Wow.

This is awesome.

Man.

Breathe it in, Breathe it in.

Yes.

The pool's nice, too. I like that.

Hard work pays -- The pool, the bar.

Actually, we should have put The fish tank right here.

We can do that, you know.

-really? -yeah.

We can make anything Into a fish tank.

-that is true, considering -- -I actually do like --

I like swimming.

So, really, why do you Want a fish tank?

You know what?

Fish tanks Are sexy to me, man.

Okay.

You know what I mean? They're extremely sexy.

But even more than that, They're relaxing.

I work hard as hell.

I don't even get To really enjoy this house

Because I work so hard.

So what I do like when I step in My front door is to be relaxed

And just, you know, just relieve A little bit of stress.

-got you. -and I love fish, obviously.

They're just therapeutic.

You can talk To your fish.

I have nothing but girls, You know what I mean?

Literally -- my wife, I'm talking about my daughters.

I have no sons -- I have nothing.

I'm the only male. That's why I work out so hard --

I got to balance The testosterone

Inside my household.

-you want some male fish? -I need fish to talk to, man.

Gotcha, I gotcha.

Have you ever had A tank before?

I did a tank before, but, man, The puffer fish

Ate all the rest of the fish In the tank, man.

-got to feed them. -I did!

-and he still ate them? -he still ate them.

He was greedy. -whoo, boy.

This time around, I need some fish

That I can actually Have a conversation

With that don't eat The other fish.

We can do that.

We'll tell you Your compatibility,

Which fish are good, Which ones you don't mix,

You know, stuff like that. -okay. Good.

All right, so I -- I got a few questions.

-yeah. Talk to me. -they call you "Ludacris."

How'd -- how'd you get That name?

My first name is chris.

When it came to my raps, And obviously when it comes

To my videos and just doing wild And crazy things,

If you look up "Ludicrous" In the dictionary,

It means "Beyond crazy, Wild, ridiculous,"

And I just thought It felt creatively,

So "Chris," -- "Ludacris."

So you've been doing music, And then you got into filming.

Which one you like most?

You people always ask me That question, man.

Well, you can't compare The two of them.

Let me tell you why -- -yeah, I want to hear it.

With music, It's like a blank canvas.

You pretty much create Everything from nothing.

You know what I mean?

Somebody gives you a beat, But you create your own story,

Whatever you want to say on it, And you just create that.

Now, with a movie, If you're acting a part --

Unless you're Kind of the director

And the writer And the producer,

You're kind of Just acting one part.

But with music, You create something

From absolutely nothing.

So it's just hard for me To compare those two.

But you love them both?

I absolutely -- I love them both, 100%.

Let's find out where You want your fish.

Let's check the rest Of the house out.

All right, before that, Let me take you

To the living room, man.

The living room -- Let's do it.

You guys haven't been here -- I got to show you more things.

We got to check it out.

This view's Unbelievable, though.

Yeah, man. So this is the living room.

-nice. Nice. -absolutely.

-I like it. -you got to love it.

Wayde: This is cool.

Hey, hey! Don't touch that, man.

What?

You know, plastic Over the furniture --

There's one room that nobody's Really supposed to touch!

What's up With the carpet?

This is that room, that -- As a matter of fact,

Back up Just a little bit.

-all right. -that's like the wooly mammoth.

Yeah, this room is pretty much Just for show.

No one is supposed To really come in here.

But my favorite part Of the house --

As long as you don't Touch the couch,

This is my favorite part Right here.

You guys can come over here -- The bar.

-so, I got a question. -yeah?

It -- it looks like It's growing it's so long.

Yeah, man. That's -- We got that from a bear...

I like it.

...And then we spray Painted his fur.

Did he really Spray paint a bear?

Yeah, He runs around the forest

When he's not Making movies or music.

I really like -- This pretty clean line,

Very nice, Very ultra-modern.

You did A really good job, man.

I take pride, I take pride.

I like this wood-grain Structure.

-yeah. -and I like the floor like that.

Absolutely.

Maybe we can do something With the tank.

Yeah, I mean, It's got the structure

All around the house, So -- yeah.

Originally, I would have loved the tank

To go somewhere In here.

Like I said, this is my -- My favorite part.

You know whose got One in his bar?

Wyclef.

-really? -yeah.

Wyclef's got one that we Actually refurbished it for him,

Hooked it up, and then We built him another one...

Yeah. -...On the other Side of his bar,

But he's got one almost in The exact same location.

I got a question. You're in here.

-yeah, man. -this is your favorite room.

-yeah. -no one comes in here?

Watch -- Watch your hands.

I'm not touching. But no one's in here?

-no, no, no. -so you like to Be alone in here?

So you don't like People in here?

I don't like to be -- well, It's actually my wife that says

Nobody can touch Anything in here,

So that's why I'm so adamant About you not touching anything.

So, when, like -- So outside of the movies,

You hang out with Any of the crew from --

From "Furious 8"?

Oh, absolutely, man. It's definitely family.

They don't come over And chill on --

On the -- they can't Sit on the furniture?

Hell no. Nobody.

Not vin diesel, Not dwayne johnson --

None of them Can touch this room.

Trust me, when my Wife says "Nobody"...

-nobody. -...She means nobody.

-I got you. -you don't understand.

-I'm talking about -- -oh, I understand.

Trust me, He understands.

So, the fish tank's Not going in here.

It's definitely Not going in here.

-definitely not. -nowhere close.

-all right. -trust me.

So, let's find a place where The fish tank's gonna be.

-all right. -yeah, let's move on.

Come this way.

So, this is where I want My fish tank to be.

Where?

Right here.

I've already started Construction.

This is What your wife gave you?

Let me tell you something -- Before she really --

She gave me, like, Right here.

I had to fight To get this.

I think you should step Your game up a little.

Dude, you're ludacris.

I don't think it's the ludacris Vibe he's looking for.

I think we got to change Some things around, bro.

He wants that, like, Kind of sexy vibe to it.

Sexy vibe?

This week, we're doing a tank

For none other than acclaimed Rapper and actor, ludacris.

So this is where I want My fish tank to be.

-where? -right here.

Wayde: this is What your wife gave you?

I think you should step Your game up a little.

Dude, you're ludacris.

I kind of agree, because when I come in my front door

The first thing that I want to do is relax,

And what better way to relax Than to come right in

To a fish tank, talk to my fish, Tell them about my day.

So, what kind of fish You talking?

You know, I think you can get More exotic fish with saltwater,

So I'm thinking A saltwater tank.

Matter of fact, Since it's so small

Compared to all the rest Of the damn tanks

That you guys do, you know What I want you to do?

Give me extremely unique fish, Because I'm a unique guy.

-okay. -we can do that.

The fish can be ludicrous.

A matter of fact, You can have some "Ludafish."

-ludafish. -ludafish.

-I like that. -I like that.

-let's do that. -that's some unique stuff.

Put a bunch of ludafish In there.

-you got it. -nice.

But what about as far As the interior?

Like, the coral -- -yeah. The corals, man.

I just -- just as long As they're sexy.

-sexy corals. -sexy corals.

Sexy coral? Hmm.

So, not -- not too bright Bright, but not too dull --

Just enough to relax you When you walk in.

Sexy.

Sexy coral?

So, technically, This area right here?

-that's it. -okay.

That's all The wife gave me.

Now, I got a question. Speaking of marriage --

You know, I'm thinking about Getting engaged, right?

Yeah.

And I heard something -- you got Engaged on a plane or something?

So I took -- I actually own A plane -- humbly speaking --

Took the plane up,

And as soon as we got To a certain altitude,

I told her, "Look out the window,"

And in the grass it had been cut "Will you marry me?"

That's actually pretty cool, But, you know,

Unfortunately, I don't own a plane.

Maybe I could, like, Get on delta,

And I can do it on, Like, the ball field --

Like my local ball field Or something.

You know what? I might let you borrow my plane.

What you need to realize... -okay.

...Things like this Are gonna happen.

I'm -- my closet's Gonna shrink --

Diminish, too, When I get married.

You call it "Compromise."

It's not -- It's not really compromise.

-yeah. -my wife's taken everything.

[ laughter ]

Brett: I mean, we definitely Can do something,

But, I mean, That's kind of --

I don't know what We can do with that.

That's kind of small.

I mean -- -you guys better do something.

Here's the thing -- I'm a modest guy.

You know, I don't need All the flash now.

I went through That stage in my life.

That was, like, the first five Years, first three albums.

You know, this is ludacris -- This is the father, the husband.

I'm not as crazy As I used to be.

I just like Modest stuff, man.

What if We made it bigger?

What if we made it, Like, past the wall?

Yeah, like extend it out Or something?

Like, extend it out A little bit,

At least, you know...

You know, I -- I wear the pants In this household, right?

You do?

I mean, you know, I work hard, right?

-uh-huh. -I think --

I think I can fight to maybe Get a little bit more --

Like, maybe we can --

Maybe we can get it out To, like, right here.

Just -- Just here, though.

So, you know what That's gonna do --

It's gonna give you three Viewing panels instead of one.

Hell, yes.

Yeah, you can see it From the couches there

Where you can't sit. -right.

You can see it from the front Door, and then right here.

I'm making a decision, And I'm sticking with it.

There you go.

While you got that Decision in mind,

We're gonna head Back to vegas...

-we'll do a render. -...Get you a rendering...

-yes. -...And then we'll see you soon.

-all right. -sounds good.

-all right, come on. Let's go. -all right, be good.

For ludacris' in-home aquarium, We'll place a 4-foot-tall

Rectangular tank Upon a 3-foot-tall stand,

Fill it with 300 gallons of saltwater,

And dress up the inside With a sexy coral insert.

We'll deck out the façade With a wood grain

To match the rest of his home,

Complete it with a fan club Of unique fish within,

And top it off With some cool l.E.D. Lighting.

**

The shop is busy Gluing ludacris' tank

And building His sexy coral insert.

And I've got something Pretty important

To take care of myself.

Hey!

-hey. -I need some help.

-for what? -I've been thinking about it.

It's been 6½ years, And, uh, I think I'm ready

To take this to the next step To be quite frank.

I think I'm ready To go ring shopping.

You are?!

I really am -- I think it's finally time.

No!

Trisha and I have been together For almost seven years.

We live together And have a blended family.

She means the world to me,

And it's definitely time To make it official.

And nothing would mean more to Me than if you came with me.

Oh! I would love to!

You want me to help you With the style?

I want you to help me With the style,

I want you to put it on, I want to see how it fits.

You know, absolutely, For sure.

You know, I'm really good At shopping for stones.

Dudes, we're talking about -- Stones for, like,

Someone's finger, Not for, like, my pond.

I think okay.

Is this ludacris'?

Yeah.

So, you're more Than halfway there.

Yeah.

You know -- you know When you know somebody

And you meet somebody you get That vibe, you know what I mean?

I think it's the ludacris vibe He's looking for.

I think we got to Change some things around, bro.

The ludacris vibe?

He doesn't want it to be, like, Really ostentatious with cars

And any Of this crazy stuff.

He wants to get away from The "Fast and furious."

He wants to get away from The singing, the crazy ludacris.

You're -- you're saying that We need to change something,

But you're really not telling me What we need to do to it yet.

He wants it To feel sexy.

He wants that, like, Kind of sexy vibe to it.

You know what I mean?

Sexy vibe?

I think we need Some swim-throughs

With some corals on it.

I think we should maybe just Dress it up some more

So you get Some corals around,

Maybe some different colors, But not too, too crazy.

Have you ever heard somebody use So many words and say so little?

And -- and a real Important thing

Is just the way this Thing's gonna light up.

You know when you light Something up, you feel it?

Yeah.

No.

Lighting adds sex to things Sometimes, you know what I mean?

If it's blah --

So let's do this --

Let's grab some corals, Let's get some lights,

We'll do testing Inside the break room,

We'll shut the lights off,

And you'll see What I'm talking about.

I highly doubt it.

All right?

You and your sexy vibe.

It's not me. It's ludacris.

This is What he really wants.

-you got it? -I got it. You got it?

I got it.

All right, hold on.

Okay, So check this out.

All right, Shut the lights off.

Okay, so now let's place Some corals, see how this looks.

Get that in here.

Now, you're gonna have shadows For certain corals,

You know What I'm saying?

You see how this was, like, A very light purple?

But now look at it -- It's -- it's enhancing it, bro.

It's gives the shadow Effect to it.

This doesn't look that good Over here, right?

-mm-hmm. -look at that.

That's a big difference On the light, bro.

That's a boring coral Like you.

That's a sexy coral Like me.

You see the difference? You see what light did?

You may have revealed Your halloween costume

Just a little early.

Like, This one right here --

I like the size of this And the shape,

But I don't like the color,

So we're not gonna do That color.

Definitely this one -- you can See, like, purples and blues.

That -- That's sexy, bro.

-all right. -you know what I'm saying?

But what you're actually saying Is some of the stuff

That I have on there,

I'm gonna have to take off and Replace it with other things.

Yes. You got to feel that vibe.

You see wh-- this is What I'm talking about.

I see the difference With the lights.

Okay.

I can do it, I just had to get Your interpretation of sexy.

Sexy vibe.

You and your sexy vibe Is really creeping me out.

We love ludacris.

Everybody does.

-right? -yeah.

We're doing a tank that's going In the entry of his home...

-okay. -...And it's, like, 300 gallons.

So we want some fish To kind of represent him.

-got it. -the fish need some pop.

Oh, yeah. Definitely.

Let's go take a look at it. -yes.

* move fish *

* get out the way *

* get out the way *

* move, fish *

**

Agnes: this guy! Luda needs this guy!

-that's a mandarin goby. -look how cool it is --

It's flashy and moody At the same time.

That fish Is beyond gorgeous.

I love the mandarin goby.

But, unfortunately, those guys Have to go in a live reef tank.

Oh, come on.

Ricky: that's the problem With this fish.

We call them Mandarin gobys,

But they're actually Not gobys at all.

They just have A similar body shape.

-oh, they're not? -no.

So they're -- they belong To a different group

Of a family called Dragonets.

So they're -- They're mandarin dragonets,

But they're body shape Is just like a goby,

So we refer it a goby.

They're really Beautiful fish,

But they need a very mature tank To thrive in it.

It's very difficult To feed these guys.

They only eat Zooplanktons.

Your pods -- your antipode And your copepods,

Which generally grows In a very mature tank,

A tank that has been running For a very long time.

Like, you see the blue Around its tail?

Like, that's so awesome.

Yeah, it looks like It's painted.

Yeah. It's, like, Very artistic, right?

-yes. -and like ludacris, you think?

-aw, that sucks. -all right.

That's a beautiful fish.

Well, show us some ones We can put in the tank.

Good choice, though, Agnes.

I know. That guy was cute.

-oh, look at that fish! -now this is a fish --

I think it's a great fish For the ludacris tank.

-whoa! -I love that fish.

Agnes: look at that thing.

It's unique, it pops, It's got glitter everywhere.

That's correct. This is a goldflake angel.

It is so beautiful. The colors really pop.

Look at those lips.

They're purple lips.

Will the gold spots go away The older they get,

Or do they -- -no.

They actually look very good As juveniles as well as adults,

Which is very different from all The other angels that we know.

These are the ones That actually retain

Much of their characteristics. Beautiful fish.

So how do you tell if they're A juvenile or an adult.

Just the size -- They will grow bigger.

How big?

They grow to a max size of about 10 inches, give or take.

It really is unique, Isn't it?

It's awesome.

I am loving the colors On this fish.

It definitely pops.

It's like party in the front And business in the back.

-yeah. -right?

I love it.

I think luda is gonna die For this fish.

It is, like, A masterpiece.

-right. -it really is.

What else we got?

**

Whoa! Look at this guy.

Wow! What is that?

It's a pineapple trigger.

Pineapple trigger?

Yeah, it's a -- It's a lighter-color trigger.

Why is it a pineapple Referenced in it?

Once it grows A little bit older,

It's gonna get A nice yellow,

Light yellow color on it, A pineapple color to it, so...

It's a beautiful fish.

Do you see that little trigger That's going on on top?

It's basically for The triggerfish

To go wedge itself In between rocks,

And then it just locks in -- That --

That little fin, the dorsal fin, It locks in place

And keep the fish Stuck into the crevasse.

So if a predator comes And tries to grab it outside,

They can't get it out.

-it's like a hook. -yeah, it's like a hook.

-what?! -I've never seen this trigger.

I'm so excited right now. I love it.

It's a very active fish.

It's gonna get big. -how big?

It'll probably get about 8 to 10 inches,

So it's gonna be A big triggerfish.

And they're hearty.

Very hearty fish.

What do they eat?

In the wild, they'll eat All kinds of crustaceans,

Anything with a shell -- They love to eat that.

Mollusks -- snails, crabs, Pretty much everything.

The colors are Very subtle,

But yet when you go Up close to it

They're very intricate.

Very -- there's a lot Of detail to the fish.

And you know What's amazing?

It's, like, we've been Doing this for so long,

But no matter how long You're doing it

There's just always something

New to see and learn, And I love that.

Right, and they're still Discovering newer species,

So every day There is something new.

I'm super excited For this one.

All right, what else Do we have for luda?

Whoa! Look at this guy.

Ricky: this is Another butterflyfish --

Zoster butterflyfish.

-look at those spikes! -wow!

Wait, what kind of Butterfly is that?

It's a zoster Butterflyfish.

-z-- say it again? -zoster.

Zoster.

It's also called A black pyramid butterflyfish,

Because, you see, It's a black fish,

And it has that little White pyramid thing

Going on in its body.

They grow a little bit bigger -- About six inches,

And they're one Of the rarer butterflyfish,

So we don't get to See them that much.

-it's beautiful. -look at the -- the top.

It looks like it has A blonde mohawk.

Doesn't it? -yes!

A butterflyfish is a good fish For a fish-only tank.

For a reef tank, Not so much,

Because they will feast On all the corals.

Where do you find These guys?

They are mostly near The indian ocean.

Oh.

Beautiful fish -- Always on the move,

And you can put a bunch Of them together,

So that's the best thing.

-I love it. -I love all of them.

I think luda is definitely Gonna be wow'd by these fish.

Yeah.

**

-redneck. -yeah?

-how we doing? -with what?

The insert.

It's drying.

-it's still wet? -yeah.

Hell, yeah!

That's what I'm talking about, man!

I like that, I like it.

You would think you actually do This for a living or something.

I absolutely Love it, man.

This is everything I was talking about.

It's sophisticated, it's sexy, It's relaxation --

Everything that I want When I come in the front door.

I know you guys do a lot of very Complex, very extreme tanks,

But this is everything I was looking for, man.

Less is A hell of a lot more.

You have 300 gallons here.

This is not a little tank.

There are over 3,000 pounds Sitting right here.

3,000 pounds.

Now you have a bunch Of different wood in the house

From the floors To the cabinetry.

We wanted to get it To match right in,

So if you look at the kitchen And the flow, the way it comes,

All the cabinetry and everything Matches all the way through.

Coordinate.

We coordinated so your wife Would be happy, too.

Yeah, yeah. I like that.

Brett: so we worked with redneck To make the corals,

And we told him That we wanted it sexy.

I was a little hesitant To give it to redneck

When the word "Sexy" came up.

He actually made the corals Kind of cool-looking.

These are all molded off Of real pieces of coral.

Wow.

And we didn't Go over the top.

Like we said, there's nothing Fast, nothing furious.

There's nothing crazy In there.

Yeah, man.

But most importantly, What we wanted to stand out,

Which was very important to you,

Was having unique, Exotic ludafish.

I see all the unique fish That I was asking for.

I see ludafish.

I see the clown triggerfish, I see a hawkfish,

I see the pinktail triggerfish, The squirrelfish.

I see all the different fish I can have conversations with.

I feel like They're listening to me now.

It's perfect. -awesome.

So, I'm gonna tell you A little bit about

Some really interesting Fish in here that...

That's what I want to know, 'cause I only recognize

About a third Of them in there,

So I want to be Educated, as well.

The big one in there, that's Called a pineapple trigger.

It has pink on its face,

And it's also called The face trigger

Because the face looks Like a human face.

-really? -yeah, it's pretty cool.

He's a pretty rare Trigger.

-absolutely. -you don't see much of that.

You also have A coral hogfish.

These guys are great to have Inside the aquarium,

Because they're parasite eaters, So what they're gonna do

Is they're actually gonna Clean some of the fish

And eat some of The parasites off of them.

Nice.

Freckled hawkfish -- that guy Right there has no swim bladder.

I was about to say he's been Chilling there

The whole damn time We've been talking.

Yeah, so you're gonna see these Guys perching around a lot.

You're gonna see them Perching on the coral,

Perching down in the sand.

'cause they have No swim bladder,

They can only swim A short distance,

And then they actually Have to rest.

Damn.

Also, too, in here is A true black volitan lion,

And the reason That's so rare

Is because they're hard to find When they're true black.

And he's gonna grow Pretty quick.

Their spines are venomous,

So you never want to go Inside the aquarium

Because they could Send you to the hospital.

Man, not only Do I enjoy it,

I am learning something New every day.

You wanted smooth, You wanted sexy,

So we also added Some lighting in to match,

Like, the pool, so you got That look going through, so --

Oh, really.

You got a little remote,

So if you're here And your friends come over

Or if you want to relax, Just push the remote --

Aw, man. That's it.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's the sexy part Right there.

I don't think it can get Much sexier than that.

And since you love music So much, what we did

Is we put a little light In there that works to the beat.

You push the button...

There you go.

Hmm.

Sexy. -this is a unique...

I like that.

Let me see -- let me see If you guys got rhythm.

Let me see you bounce Your heads to it.

We definitely Don't have rhythm.

Oh, man.

What -- what beat are you Nodding your head to, my guy?

Can you please stop?

All right, all right.

I love that, though. I love that.

So, what do you think?

You guys did A wonderful job.

Thank you, guys. -you like it?

Eight years, But you made up for it.

Tell the general I'm very thankful.

You know what they say -- "Good Things come to those who wait."

Yeah, but eight years? I don't know.

That's too --

Talk to the general, man.

Tell him since you guys Did such a damn good job,

We might have to do Another one of my houses

In another region Of the world.
