I agree with everything besides the bold. I might be a little biased seeing how it's the first CD I actually paid for but I would put it in that "all time" category.
). But his first 2 albums by themselves stand up to any 2 albums by any other rapper ever

He wrote all of Kim's album and all of the Junior Mafia album too

Pac, Hov, Outkast (BOTH of those nikkas not just cave bytch/cac magnet 3K), Common, Luda, Jeru, Monch, Cube and Nas are in mine instead of Biggie.

Hell yeah Luda, never stuck with one flow for 2 entire albums (at that extremely creative flows too), bigger vocabulary, way more creative delivery, punchlines/bars (you'd be dumb to choose Big over him out of sheer ignorance of never having heard any of his albums), smarter concepts. Personally, I fukk with his beat selection way more than Big's. He did more for Southern Rap than even Outkast (note how they changed and made a complete 360 in the 00's) and even now ATL stays jacking his style and never paying homage.
Ah, my childhood in the 00s....
WHEW, this whole song > Big's rapping in general. Luda had more creativity in this song than most of Big's 2nd album. Big has him in storytelling, but overall Luda was more well-rounded, had better hit songs and had many layers to his personality.
He made it comfortable to embody the South, and not be so stuck up or entirely ignorant either.
THAT 3RD VERSE...

You tripping bruh, real talk
Jeru was like an advanced version of what Big did at the time (and took from Black Moon who he thanked in RTD's liner notes for that), you telling me this is "barely staying on beat"?
Choppy is Midland style "Chopper Rap", lmao.......or when you don't know when to let the rhythm in flow do its own thing on a beat.
I'm sorry but stuff like this is a pet peeve of mines.
what did outkast & Ludacris do for southern rap?
and please don't quote that corny Atlanta documentary from VH1 that's brainwashing the masses.
there was a push.
look at how the treatment the source awards gave him and bad boy as a whole.
ill give you the first one
second one
by not being an all-timer, I'm saying its not in my top 25.
I'm not short-changing it or anything.
ehh. he released enough music. it just didn't meet the mark for me.
but he did enough.
dropped 3 discs;
wrote the junior mafia & kim albums and wrote some of puff stuff.
ton of guest spots
the average run amongst the top when rap was more organic, was at best 3 albums and 3-5 years.
so he definitely did enough. its just a matter of how highly you think of his material.
Because he doesn't have an album better than Harlem World.

Name a Southern Rap artist not influenced or impacted by Outkast/Dungeon Family, and Luda is why Southern Rap artists can have attainable success in solo careers, and constantly changing up their styles to remain relevant, thus competing with other regions.
You can ever hear Outkast in Future and Luda in Young Thug or Waka, despite being bottom feeder versions of them. If you're from Mississippi, Big K.R.I.T.'s material can range from having an Outkast influence, or more like his collabs he did with Luda. You underestimate how they also sonically changed the South too, you still hear their styles in 2016 to some degree.
It's beyond ATL, into the rest of their region....
