Ludacris' music has aged terribly and it's high time we acknowledge it

Luda fukked OPs wife or something.

And this is taking nothing away from his skillset as a rapper. No one is denying him on that end.

He made fun records the majority of the time. There are still Luda songs I play today, but I'm not playin' songs like #1 Spot in 2025

If we being for real

He was corny from day 1

Even when he had songs that were catchy, they were always corny

I always thought the way he would add an emphasis on his accent on every last word at the end of his rhyme always sounded so corny

i still play Roll Out uncensored version

Dudes really ain’t trying to hear, “Whatchu got in that bag? Whatchu gotta in that bag?!?” In 2025?

yall getting mad about the "aged horribly" thing need to realize it's a legit argument (at times). cats rag on nas's beat selection, but his music is mostly timeless to me because the bulk of it never played into fads and hot producers, there's a lot of music from around 1997-04 that relied too heavily on the same sounds and producers and just doesn't warrant much replay outside of classic tracks. all this hi hat trap shyt is going to be the same way looking at it in 2028

god damn, we're closer to 2028 than 2016 when i made this post

Respectfully disagree. Diamond in the back goes hard. And the dude would kill features.

Word of mouf and chicken n beer are pretty dope albums.

Never been a fan really- but you nailed it, Ludacris is a character potrayed by Cris Bridges- not a rapper, and while plenty of rappers have been characters none to the extent of Ludacris, there’s always some sort of real life basis for them to pull off their lies from, even Ross had time around criminals as a CO to steal stories from.

There’s nothing real about Ludacris, all his raps and escapades are 100% fictional and meant to be seen that way, he could have easily been a tv show or cartoon like OP joked about. Honestly it makes his easy transition into acting logical, i don’t hate his music but i don’t care for it either, he had the look, the swagger, the delivery and vocabulary but never the substance.

This was a good write up, ill never understand how he won that Grammy and can only chalk it up to the satanic powers that be- now i should probably check myself to a hospital as listening to that many Ludacris songs in a row can’t be good for your mental health

Breh, I can't stand hearin' that shít

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I'm gonna throw on the only luda album I ever purchased right now. That Chicken and Beer joint, just to reminisce

 

[YakSpiller]

I don’t fukk with Ludacris at all.

Southern Hospitality was cool but he’s corny as hell to me. Never cared for him.

That shyt even irked the hell out of me when I did think some of his songs were catchy in the 2000’s

I’d be listening like and then by the time he got halfway finished with the verse like

I will say, going to the clubs back then and hearing P-Poppin’ in the clubs and the women twerking on me to it
