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

TI was dropping albums in that same time frame they just weren’t selling.
TI debuted really in 03, with music for Dope Boyz while Luda was making silly TRL ass music in 00:francis:... Ask anyone in the South who they listened to more in 04-05, even though Luda was bigger ... doesnt mean shyt, the streets is hip hop and TI was still going Plat with Urban Legend

Some folks wanna trash Cris but their GOAT literally made one long ass career outta the same subject matter and then FINALLY tried to get on some grown man shyt when he 50 yrs old. Some of y’all arguments weaker than tissue.

Yeah these nikkas acting like TI was never that big lmao

It would be erroneous to say T.I. was never big. At one point, T.I. was the biggest rapper in the game. That didn't happen until 2006 though.

One thing about Luda's career though, he had everything that the media and stans all hyped Wayne for (except mixtapes), yet Wayne got pushed into these best rapper discussions where Luda fell to the background. Luda was a better lyricist, more commercially successful and had bigger and better guest spots than Wayne, but none of the acclaim.

How could he really debut in '03, when I'm Serious was '01. A Neptunes track, that Arista pushed the hell out of, and it flopped. And he was sounding like a Big Boi Jr on that album (at times).

The difference was literally the mixtapes and a few songs like a mili where nikkas past Virginia went bananas as soon as the beat dropped...

Luda just never had that impact

Salute.

Couldn't have said it better myself, but shiit i damn near try to fam that dikkride Jay's hustle stories.

For 20 damn years 'we get it, you hustled, what you want? A fukken medal?'

Jay/Kanye was damn near the biggest non pop singing artists in the world when 'Watch the Throne' dropped. And what did we get? Another 'I got stacks, i hustled, give it a rest Jay'.

Then when nobody was checking for him anymore (in a platinun/commercial success sense) he flipped it on us, too late.

Not only that, he stole flows left right and centre. Beanie flow, Young Chris flow, Sha Stimuli flow, Bigs flow and now Mach Hommy flow.

Jay's top tier no question, but he fumbled the ball the whole way and used steroids and paid off the ref imo. Problem is nobody saw it.
