Aye I know you a knowledgeable hip hop head cuz I see your posts on here. But I just gotta reply back one more time. What do you define as “unapologetically” ATL? Trap music? Crunk? Because 90’s ATL may have been an amalgamation of other regions (g-funk, new jack swing, etc) but still had its flavor. Organized Noize, Dallas Austin, JD, etc

What I mean is with Dungeon Family, T.I., Jeezy, Gucci, Future, Migos, etc. all have slang, sounds, styleetc that is ATL. With Kriss Kross, the last album sounded like Atlanta, but the other two didn't.

No matter who made the list, Luda probably wouldn't be on it. Jermaine Dupri made a similar list years ago. No Luda.

It's all subjective :manny:


It's one of those good problems where there's so much talent to pick from. Troy, Youngbloodz, Jon is an entire movement unto himself, I feel like Witch Doctor needs to be in the convo somewhere, etc etc.

ATL is 2 strong of a force with 2 much history 2 possibly be able to narrow it down to a "top 5"

Naw they actually good friends. That’s what makes this a clear dishonest list to be real. Kast and the MOB was his true answers. And he might like that project for future too. So we can give him those 3. But he know damn well he not rating nothing 21 or thug got better than Jeezy first or second album honestly. That was a political answer. Trying to appeal to the youth. If he could have had one more slot, he would have referenced lil baby
It also could have simply just slipped his mind.
