Albums Old heads help settle a discussion. which album is better?

[Sex Luthor]

idunno man, as a Memphis nicca I gotta go with Comin out hard, even if by a slight edge

either way this thread inspired me to spin up some country rap tunes

Speaking of Memphis, I think somebody should go a documentary on suave house and tony draper. Tony draper started suave house when he was 16 and with all the influence he had on hip hop in the south I think would be a good watch. I never heard a bad word about him from any artist

 

[NatiboyB]

Riding Dirty simply has more songs I can listen to even now. Both albums are classics and I was a fan of both groups....

But man One day, diamonds and wood, High Life, and Riding Dirty still get play by me.

 

[KBadd]

No disrespect to Ball & G whatsoever but this was a no-brainer IMHO.

"Murder" is one of the hardest tracks in hip-hop history.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

"Murder" is one of the hardest tracks in hip-hop history.

Murder is one of the hardest tracks ever but IMHO one could argue Mr.Big is the better track.

 

[28 Gramz]

Ridin Dirty, the sound is alot less dated than COH. Both are probably the most sampled albums in southern rap history though.

 

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

Ridin Dirty, the sound is alot less dated than COH.

Again, it’s not a fair comparison because of the monumental 3 year gap between the two releases (‘93 and ‘96) — and the fact that one was a debut and the other was the group’s third release.

I agree with this.

 

[CrushedGroove]

I can't judge based off the time difference like the other posters said. That being said, Ridin' Dirty is my go to off top.

 

[Taadow]

Too hard too swallow is the best album from either camp

ROFL NO

 

[TNOT]

Ridin Dirty.


I’m old enough to have been around when both these dropped. Comin out Hard felt like a movie, like an over the top gangsta movie. Ridin Dirty was real.

Being in that 1-10 corridor between Houston and New Orleans during that time was wild. They conveyed that shyt to a tee.

Loosing Homeboys to the streets
Selling Dope up and down the highway
Pourin up
fukking with them hoes
Beefing with nikkas
Trying to balance streets with Family

that’s how nikkas was living.

Production was on point
Pimp and Bun were at their best


All a nikka listened to was this and them gray tapes.

 

[I'm Blackman]

RD by a long shot.

Coming out hard is a classic.

But RD is something else man...

 

[old boy]

i expect riding dirty to dominate but it's comin out hard for me because of where i was in life at the time. it had hella game & wisdom i needed b

matter of fact fukk it, i'm about to spin that 1993 shyt then fukk with that 2001 slim cutta the skinny album off GP, i ain't fukk with them shyts in a minute

 

[YoungSimpson]

Impossible for me to choose. Wicked sounded dumb as hell in that video though talking about Riding Dirty ain't a top 10 Southern album. That's a slappable statement.

 

[Ziggiy]

Ridin Dirty off the strength of One Day alone

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

Wicked a dumb ass, even with Break Em Off. Master P was the engine behind that song is what he said. Pimp C produced the beat and P almost fukked it up with those Adlibs screaming
