That is a weird ass reason why he wouldn't get respect as a lyricist
Luda said Hov told him the reason he isn’t respected as a lyricist is cause of his crazy music videos

That is a weird ass reason why he wouldn't get respect as a lyricist

Somehow worked for Redman and Eminem.....
Another way of saying Luda was having too much fun as a rapper.
They started off grimy tho. Luda never had a grimy phase.

Cause they made good albums
Busta too.
Luda's first few albums are solid

Eminem got the white stimulus and redman is underrated
For as good as a rapper he is, you never see him in a top 5 or 10 list

And Busta

You could argue that the reason Busta doesn't get his true props is because of his commercial acclaim and how he dominated that lane for so many summers whilst remaining authentic. If he'd dropped the same albums without the chart toppers there would've been threads from heads about the content so Luda has a point in that respect.
Red I've already said should be ranked so much higher than he is because he should have that Cypress Hill level of recognition for all the work he's put in. Same with Afroman who has put out back to back bangers but no one apart from me seems to listen and the dude is wildly entertaining and as real as it gets.
Hip hop has a thing for ice grilling.

The 1st 4 (or 5 if you really wanna count Ingognegro as its own album) are pretty good

"Isn't respected" by who? Like you can't be witty/have fun/experiment with video concepts. You gonna tell Big Boi he isn't respected as a lyricist?
99 times outta 100, that's not what was said in the first place.

The key word here is lyricist. They did the same thing to Busta, even now all they talk about his live show
I rarely ever heard Luda praised as a lyricist. Those videos did hurt him perception wise
