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

Luda was dope during his run.

Had a really good ear for production on his first few albums, and made a lot of classic tracks. He always just did his own thing and seemed like he wanted to have fun with it. That's literally what Hip Hop is all about. He worked with straight legendary MC's and some of the game's best producers. The GOAT's. I don’t think his sh*t aged horribly, at all. Because he never followed a particular sound that was prevalent at the time. His music always sounded like some other sh*t. He wasn't a follower, so I can still play his sh*t and not really associate it with an era. He was one of the few southern-based artists who didn't let that box him into a particular sound.

Luda will always hold a special place in my heart as "Area Code" is the first ever Hip Hop song I liked as a kid :mjlol: I remember thinking Nate on the hook was saying I got Probes on the hook until my sister corrected me as to what he was actually saying :usure:



Even after that dude is still one of favorite mainstream southern rapper, loved his animated cartoonish rapping style.

You never hear a serious or thought provoking or even a gritty real album.
So you want him to pretend to be something he’s not for your entertainment? And he usually dropped 1-2 tracks on the tail end of his albums that were "thought provoking”
and low key childishly corny.
If he’s childishly corny, what do you call Busta, Kool Keith, Reggie?

Just the stylistic singles, which likely had more work go into them then the entire album. “Move B!tch”, “Roll Out”, and the string of reiterated singles over the years. He was stylistically like the ATL version of Mac Dre but with no body of work or consistency … but he had that major label push so :manny:

Luda is a radio personality on steroids.

He's very witty lyrically....but not artistic...and low key childishly corny.

Pen game is nice, but he not hungry and you can tell.

He doesnt have pen. Punchlines =/= pen.
