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

[JustCKing]

That battle of the sexes album cover is WOAT

He should've stuck to the original concept which was a joint album with Shawna where they went back and forth with each other. As is, that album definitely hurt his career.

im a big luda fan but the problem with luda was over saturation, you herd one luda album you herd them all.

Rappers during that era had albums coming out yearly.

Luda discography should have been.

1. Incognegro (1999)
2. Word of Mouth (2001)
Red Light District (street mixtape) (2004)
3. Release Therapy (2006)
thearter of the mind/the preview (mixtape) (2008)
4. Battle of the Sexes (with Shawna) (2010)

These albums all have distinct sounds that have been over saturated by luda.

Luda’s legacy in rap has aged horribly. He outsold and had more hits than Ross, TI, Jeezy & Gucci yet they were the ones that got all love for their albums/contributions to rap

Go figure

He doesn't have more hits than any of them nikkas, unless you counting POP BS only... TIP surpassed that nikka in popularity by like 06... TI has 2 albums(damn near 3) that sold 500k first week, Luda has no album like that

That new song he played in the Nelly battle alone is proof of this tbh, he had a bar about R Kelly that was just and tbh I can see people shytting on a lotta his old shyt if it came out now. That nostalgia tho

 

[DeuceZ]

They be like oooh you so evil coz I go on blind dates with actual blind people

Ludas 1st 3 or 4 albums got regular burn from me and his bangers would still get a party moving

From 2000-2004 Luda dropped 4 albums all went multi platinum. Outside of DMX and Jay I don’t know too many rappers that have done it. Luda fifth album went platinum. Followed by 2 albums that went gold. Ross, TI, and Jeezy aren’t in his class when it comes to sales and hits. Luda is up there with X, Em, Wayne, Drake, Nelly in terms of sales and hits.

Yes but Luda's peak was not even close to TIP's peak bro.... Again Luda came out in the right time, the early 00's while TIP became a star in the mid 00's and still blew out a lot of Luda's accomplishments.... You trying to put TI in the same category as Jeezy/Ross lowkey disrespectful... TI has the latest album from all 3 of them to even be RIAA certified, has the last biggest hits out of those 3, and he has multi-plat something neither Jeezy/Ross have (does Ross even have a plat album)

I'm looking at first week sales because TIP became a megstar in the mid-late 00's and sales were dying then, and TI's first week numbers are bigger than any of Luda's shyt by a pretty big margin

Tip only has one multi plat album that was paper trail. Mainly because of Rihanna and JT singles. Mean while Luda never really needed people on his singles to move units at the peak of his career.

You’re misinformed

TI doesn’t have an album that’s triple platinum
Luda has done it twice

TI’s biggest songs are the very same POP BS you are mentioning. That’s why it was crazy that TI, who was smaller artist at the time, convinced people he was The King Of The South. Don’t believe me then cut over to RIAA

Luda was triple platinum when Trap Muzik was stuck on gold for the longest

King is also multi plat breh, @ acting like JT/Riri gave him clout

Luda has a triple platinum album because of the time he came out was perfect, 00-05 were the last big years of sales, music industry crashed for years after that. TI's pop records were done for a lighter sentence, he didn't do music like that before, or even after that album and you know that Luda is from Illinois, maybe that's why he could never claim being a king of place he really wasn't from

T.I. was never moving units like that. It took Trap Muzik 4 years to go platinum. TI was always the smaller artists. It’s irrefutable
