I never fukked with Luda like that, his content and persona never appealed me, he had no edge or darkness to his music, which is what always draws me to artists... but being in 9th grade when 'Whats Yo Fantasy', it was everywhere, and a dope song for what it was, undeniably, which is how I feel about some of his top 40 esque catalogue. 'Area Codes' was another track that I used to fukk with a little, when it was on the radio, or at a lil house party, his music was very formulaic, but very perfect for those type of summer nights.
Songs like 'Southern Hospitality', and 'Move Out', my boy and I used to drive to school smoking blunts listening to 'Move bytch', I-20 was my favorite verse. So, these songs are forever tied to those times, or how my homie used to love 'Roll Out' and 'Saturday' and we'd be rolling Jack Herr blunts in strawberry swishers....
His music, or at least singles was always listenable, for the most part, but it's almost entirely devoid of any substance. 'Splash Waterfalls' I spent a lot of hotel parties and in the back seats of cars, on couches with girls, waking up in what you wore the previous day, some high school shyt... to not have some love for it, I still let that one play every now and then. Luda did have talent, and made some music that is worthy of revisiting, but it's mostly for nostalgia, it's not at all timeless.
