Luda brought personality, humor and character into Hip Hop.

In the early 2000's, Luda was killing a lot of features. One of his best guest verses was on Nas' Made You Look remix


Luda is one of the many emcees that put ATL on the map

Say what you say about Luda, Ludacris undisputedly is a legend.


Kiss ate everyone on that. :snooze:

Wayne’s vocals and delivery on that song. My god. No one was sounding like that back then. Now everyone does.

“How did I think of that, I surprise myself sometimes….Someone should throw me a surprise party for every line.”
And hip hop ain't dead it just had a heart attack...
But you see I keep it pumping, yea I got that heart back
So just call me lil carter
Or lil cardiac

Luda was a repackaged version of Redman for Southern audiences....

Def Jam did good in that department.


I'd rather Luda be a giddy cartoon character than someone who all of a sudden became a gangbanger after 2 albums.

If only Luda had a comedy partner, we could have gotten a whole movie of Luda being funny imo.

Def Jam didn't develop Luda. Ludacris was already Ludacris before a Def Jam signed him. "Fat Rabbit" dropped like two years before the Def Jam deal and most of Back For The First Time was created before the deal. Incognegro was basically that album.

Facts lol

Luda was trash to me

Fingers squeeze triggers like boa constrictors

And his delivery was whack
Your favourite rapper wayne has the worst bar of all time that's not only lyrically terrible but incredibly offensive to the Till family and black people in general.

luda was/still is good for a guest feature, but back in his prime he killed his guest appearances

and this is classic


Classic moment. I remember watching it on TV real time. Luda figured out a flow for the beat though....
