Let's talk quality Southern Rap albums from the 90's to mid 00's

[LionofJudah]

Tired of the usual threads that get made in The Booth, so I'm wondering where my Southern Hip Hop heads are at? Bring up whatever album you want to talk about. A few albums that I think people slept on, or forget about is Cool Breeze-East Point Greatest Hit and Eightball-Lost.

The first time I ever heard any of Cool Breeze's album was when it first dropped and my and my boy went to smoke with some nikkas we knew from school, but ain't really fukk with like that. We were blazed out of our minds, and this shyt was so damn hard. The production on here from Organized Noize was top-knotch and this album really got slept on by the masses. As far as I know, Cool Breeze never dropped another album. A funny thing about it is this album doesn't have any cussing, so there is no parental advisory label.

​

Another album i think people forgot about was that Eightball-Lost. I copped this when it first dropped and I thought it was truly dope. He kind of played it safe and went a little more commercial on the album, but it's still vintage Suave House material. Dropped in 1998, but this shyt still jams. Much better than MJG's solo at the time No More Glory

You know I was never really a Trick Daddy fan. I always thought he was kind of mediocre, but I did fukk with some of his earlier shyt like Gotta Change My Life and I'll Be Yo Playa and shyt like that.

I remember Knuck If You Buck being a pretty big single back when it dropped. Fights in the club was guaranteed to start.

I'd put 90's and early 00's Southern Rap up against the East and West in the same period without question. Southern Rap was just that raw, and it was easy to see they were influenced by both coasts, but did their own thing with it. You had the mainstays of people like Outkast, Goodie Mob, Geto Boys etc., but then you also had the more local acts like U.N.L.V., Poison Clan, Fat Pat, Mr. 3-2 etc. The South is a big region, so there is so much to listen to.

That Pimp C assisted song on Cool Breeze' Album is my shyt man. Along with the single with the weird ass video where he keeps saying "I got people". I don't feel like remembering song names right now, but you know what I mean.

But I remember when I started paying MAJOR attention to the southern rap scene. Of course besides Outkasts' albums, because I always got those. But Im talking about the "Dirty South" albums. Although Outkast 1st wasn't soft.

Im from Brooklyn, NYC. And a friend of mine back in school would always tell me about the "Master P" movie he had, and he was gonna let me borrow it because it had titties in the movie, LOL. So he let me borrow it, and I didn't care about no titties. There was a part when he was in his crackhouse counting money, and then pointed the inf at the camera screen, while Fiends "Dont mess around" played in the background. Man.....,

Things aint really pop like that, until one great winter day in 1998....I'll never forget this shyt:

That same exact friend came to school with a sony walkman that he slapped an edomite on the train that morning for. So he was elated and said "here take this bullshyt, I know you be listening to stuff like this, I can't fukk with this".


It was a Black &Orange CD , all I seen was a nose & "400 Degrees"

​

It was on from then, I then became a full fledged Project Pat stan, and Im currently listening to "Crumbz 2 Brixxx"

Great thread, but Im gonna stop cause I'll be here forever. But thats mu'story.


Man shoutout to my whoadie "A" from Wykoff Gardens Projects for slapping the shyt outta that whiteboy on the train.

My nikka...Crazy cause I know alot of up North nikkas don't mess with the South like that. You must be talking about I'm Bout It which is crazy because I've had that soundstrack since it first dropped, but have never seen the movie and I was a No Limit head, copping the new album they was dropping each week. When that 400 Degreez dropped, it was the beginning of the end No Limit wise. I remember 'Ha' wasn't that popular when it first dropped, and then it churned and churned ang got burn. After jay hopped on the remix, it was a wrap. My nine is gonna ride with me...

Big Mike - Somethin' Serious is an underrated Southern classic. In 1994 a lot of ppl on the West Coast were ridin' to that album.

Gotta drop the lead single off that joint...That nikka Pimp C was a fool



Classic track and video. Kind of fukked up he had to leave the Geto Boys. Rumor has it Scarface thought Big mike sounded too much like him and was stealing his style.

Trick Daddy, Scarface, Juvenile >>> the jungle music coming out the south these days.

Funny how people outside the South saw that as "Jungle" music at the time. Im sure people will look back at this era in the same way. Also, I swear everyone of your post is about "jungle music". You either Spike Lee or a Cac

pre-2007 Southern hip-hop was respected because it wasn't some mindless nonsense. I rate Scarface, Juvenile, Jeezy, and Trick Daddy very high.
