Jay Z told Luda Why He Doesn't Get Lyrical Credit

[Rekkapryde]

Personality, humor and character were all already in hip hop before Luda even picked up a mic

Busta and Redman 100%

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Busta is practically unbeatable in a verzuz

It would have still been a vibe. They got similar styles even though its New York and ATL

 

[MajesticLion]

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.

Luda would cook Jigga in battle, then and now

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.

Spoiler: It's all entertainment when it's time to get paid.

What victories/performances does Jigga have in his battle catalog on wax to say otherwise

 

[Bugzbunny129]

[RichYung]

Agreed. But I take him a little bit more serious than Ludacris I guess because he had more serious topics early on.

Agreed
