That's a silly conversation to have because Luda has never had to live up to NY "rules". A lot of gifted rappers wish they could be laid back, goof around on several tracks on an album playing with various styles, and still have that kind of appeal. Even Jay.

If NY or wherever else wants to box themselves in with the tough guy schtick, fine. Luda is who he wants to be. That kind of freedom breeds envy. Having fun AND being witty AND talented isn't some great sin. It just means you have more options...and life is always better with options.

If luda was from New York he would be more respected.

And there you have it.
Luda can't have fun with the craft but NY rappers acting like Goodfellas.
Spotlight can make anybody disingenuous.
