LMFAO @ charlene@LTL/ YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT SOUTHERN RAP IS HUH?

@ darkaqua33/ ME TO MAN, BUT I DO GIVE IT A CHANCE. THE MORE I LISTEN TO IT, THE MORE I FEELING IT, ESPECIALLY THE BEAT. BUT I’M SO ADDICTED TO DANCE/TECHNO MUSIC GROWING UP, IMMA HUGE FAN. JUST TO NAME A FEW, I LIKE (BLACK BOX – EVERYBODY EVERYBODY/ CE CE PENISON – FINALLY/CRYSTAL WALTERS – GYPSY WOMEN (SHE’S HOMELESS)/ROBIN S – SHOW ME LOVE/C&C FACTORY – EVERYBODY DANCE NOW. MANY MORE OF THEM GREAT DANCE TRACKS THAT I LOVE. YOU GOTTA GIVE THESE MUSIC A LISTEN, THEY ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING.

I’M ALSO A 90’S R&B FAN. I LOVED EVERY ALBUM FROM EVERYBODY BACK IN THE 90’S. THERE WASN’T ONLY 2 GOOD SONGS ON THE ALBUM LIKE NOW DAYS, ALL THE SONGS ARE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. NOW DAYS I DON’T REALLY LIKE A LOT OF ARTIST, AND THAT AALISHA KEYS 2004 ALBUM SUCKED LIKE DICK. ALL MOST EVERY ARTIST OUT RIGHT NOW DON’T HAVE A GREAT ALBUM, IT’S VERY BORING AND JUST AVERAGE.

I LIKE 90’S POP. FROM THE BOY BAND DAYS. TODAY’S POP IS WACK NOW. THERE ISN’T ONE GIRL BAND OR BOY BAND THAT ARE GOOD NOW DAYS, THEY WAY TOO BUBBLE GUM POP WITH THEIR MUSIC AND STYLE. I LIKE A MORE SOFT/HARD IN GROUPS THAT DON’T BRING UP SEX ALL THE TIME AND PARTY ALL THE TIME.

Pastor Troy- We Ready/I Declare War
T.I.- I’m Serious

Honorable Mention- Three 6 Mafia – When the Smoke Clears

UGK ALL DAY, Thats all u need

in no particular order and this is just based off of my opinion.

1.Outkast -Aquemini
(defined the definition of “next level” in rap music)

Outkast-Southernplayalisticadillacmuzi
(proved southern rappers were equipped with word play,and was the basic blueprint for lyricism to aspiring mcs south of the mason Dixon line.)

2.Devin the dude- the dude
(proved simple is better and rappers can still be gangster and melodic at the same time.)

3.Trick Daddy-thugs are us
(this album was too damn good to overlook.a great album.)

4.Jermaine Dupri-1472
(This album is the definition of good music from start to finish.)

5.Lil Wayne-the carter 3
(when an artist is at the top of his game and has the most anticipated album in years waiting to hit the streets ,the critics are waiting in line with roses to throw on the grave of your rap career if you miss the mark even by inches.Lil Wayne not only hit his target but created a masterpiece and a classic that will stand the test of time.)

6.Juvenile-400 degrees
(this album was 400 degrees of straight fire)

7.Scarface-(all of his albums are good,he is too the south what Rakim is the north)

8.UGK-(Also all of thier albums.Any artist that can get on a track with Jay Z and hold their own are definitely above average and they are one of the South’s most celebrated legends.)

9.T.I. ti vs tip
(when they call you the king of the south theirs a reason for that,bought 2 copies of that album.)

10 Goodie Mob-Soul Food
(this album started a lot of rap trends in the south as far as lyrical styles go.)

also
LUDACRIS
YOUNG Jeezy
Eight Ball & MJG all get a mention as well

man that shit stressed me out cause im leavin out some shit i love my bad to the ones i did i only get ten

No More Glory-MJG
Carter-Lil Wayne
Recession-Jezzy
Urdan Legand-T.I.
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik-OutKast

This shit was difficult

In no particular order.

1.Ugk- Ridin’ Dirty
2.Ludacris- Back For The 1st Time
3.Juvenile- 400 Degrees
4.Outkast- Aquemini
5.Scareface- The Diary
6.T.I.- Trap Musik
7.Goodie Mob- Soul Food
8.Trick Daddy- 3rd cd
9.Chamillionaire- Ultimate Victory (so under rated)
10.JD- 1472

@Kandi

3 years and you didn’t know you were married? How and that happen? LOL SAD

Trilla -Rick ROss
Carter 2- lil wayne
Back for the 1st time – ludacris
King – TI
Trap or Die( but if u need an album thug motivation 101) – Young Jeezy
Outkast – ATLien
Outkast – love below/ speakerboxx
lil jon – put yo hood up
We cant b stopped – Geto Boys
Urban Legend – TI

Probably one of the hardest question to answer.

1)Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik-Outkast
2)Soul Food-Goodie Mob
3)Coming Out Hard-8ball&MJG
4)400degrees-Juvenile
5)Stankonia-Outkast
6)Book of Thugs: Chapter AK Verse 47-Trick Daddy
7)The Untouchable-Scarface
8)Urban Legend-T.I
9)Thug Motivation101-Young Jeezy
10)Guerilla Warfare- Hot Boys

i wish this was more about who made the most impact or changed the game cause its some cats with underground shit that is by far and wide considered classics especially in the south i know niggas personally that never fucked with mainstream shit so when it comes to the south you might need two lists mainstream and underground.

1. T.I. Trap Muzik
2.Young Jeezy The Recession
3.8 ball mjg Livin Legends
4.Rick Ross Trilla
5.Clipse Lord willin
6.Lil Wayne The carter
7.Project pat Mista dont play
8.Lil jon Kings of crunk
9.Scarface the fix
10.T.I.Urban legend

My list consists mostly of music that I can listen to from beginning to end 5-10 years later and still play it loud with my windows down and feel good about it. There are a couple albums with a flaky song here or there, but the core of the album more than makes up for the weak track or two. There are some good CDs that have come out in the last 2-3 years but that’s too new for me to give them the stamp of classic… with the exception of “UGK for Life”.

In no particular order:

+Project Pat – Layin’ da Smack Down
+Playa Fly – Fly Shit
+OutKast- Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
+Goodie Mob – Soul Food
+ DJ Magic Mike – Feel the Bass 2
+Da Organization- da organization
+Cool Breeze – East Point’s Greatest Hit
+UGK – Super Tight
+UGK- Ridin Dirty
+UGK- UGK for Life
+Jim Crow- Crow’s Nest
+The Geto Boys – We Can’t Be Stopped
+Outkast- Atliens
+Outkast- Aquemini
+Juvenile – 400 Degreez
+Juvenile – Tha G-Code
+8 Ball & MJG-On top of the World
+8 Ball & MJG – Comin’ Out Hard
+TRU-True to the game
+Youngbloodz – toss up between “Against da Grain ” and “Drankin’ Patnaz” One of them is a classic, probably not both… LoL

+++++ maybe Lil Wayne – The Carter 3 will make the list in a year or two******

I ‘m gonna stop now I will give ya’ll some time to check google and wikipedia to learn about some of the names I just dropped.. LoL

but just 1 song by Raheem ” The Most Beautiful Girl”

Scarface-Last Of A Dying Breed
UGK-UnderGround Kingz
Outkast-Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
Jermaine Dupri-1472
8 Ball & MJG-Living Legends/In our Lifetime
Lil Wayne- The cater 3
UGK- Ridin Dirty
GoodieMob-Soul Food.
OutKast-Aquemini

Three main factors matter for an album to be considered the best:
1. music quality 2. its weight in the streets at time of release 3. soundscan, mainstream, crossover success

You is talkin bout the whole South, no particular southern area. With that said in no particular order:

1. Ridin’ Dirty
2. Soul Food or Still Standing? (take your pick)
3. Comin’ out Hard or Outside Lookin In? (take your pick)
4. Trap Muzik-Urban Legend-King? (not 1 outshines the other 2)
5. Move Somethin’
6. Guerilla Warfare (cash money’s best compilation)
7. Atliens
8. Life or Death (the realest no limit album)
9. Mr. Scarface is Back or We Can’t Be Stopped or The Diary? (take your pick)
10. Book of Thugs: Chapter AK Verse 47 (my wildcard )

I know I’m late…but

Goodie Mob – Still Standing
Outkast – ATLiens
Goodie Mob – Soul Food
T.I. – Trap Muzik
Trick Daddy – Thugs R Us tied with T.I. – Urban Legend
T.I. – Paper Trail
Scarface – Made
Ludacris – Word of Mouf and/or The Red Light District
