It's a solid album with a few highlights but it's not going to blow your mind (most likely). Premo is the standout, as the band themselves are merely passable as rappers.
I enjoyed it, love the production and while the rapping didn't blow my mind or anything, I thought it was solid and enjoyable.
Indeed. My best rappers list would look quite different. As would my most "important/significant" list.

I didnt mean that as response to the dudes posting Em as their favourite rapper. There was some other poster who did say Em was the "best rapper ever" though, I probably should quote him.
If you don't mind that kind of music, I find the poppy mixes to be very high energy and perfect for the gym. If you want something a little more aggressive, the wildingout mix is mostly high energy and the ignorant mixes might work as well.
Most of his mixes will get you hyped, they are really club mixes you're not going to get a back pack track in any. Even his east coast mix was not what you would expect. I guess the ignorant and blacknyellow stuff would be good the only thing is one of the ignorants I think 6 has Young Wild and Free on it which could cause you to drop your weights mid-rep.

Nasty Nas is back. Nas, Swizz and Ross have been in the studio together and Swizz tweeted a pic saying Nasty is back.
5th time it's been posted at LEAST.
Damn. No Cali dates.
KRIT is definitely worth it. Gets the entire crowd hyped as fuck. And this was a festival. I can only imagine what it would be like in a theatre/small venue.

E-40 love! <3
Luda and Jeezy were both in my head.. Jeezy used to be soooooo horrible to me, but once he had something to say he became dope. Luda makes hits, and is the best guest artist ever. But cannot make a classic album, and it bugs me

I think Ignorant 6 and 7 might be a good workout tracks...ECM1 as well.
Wildingout should also do the trick as well.. it is older stuff but high energy..
BTW seeing these post made my day!
Anyone check out last call?

The thing with Luda is that he could write a classic but thats not what hes about, he likes writing fun music and personally thats why I like him, but unfortunately that doesn't make for a classic.
Downloading ECM1 and ignorant 6 & 7 too!
I've been using Chronic 2001 for the past couple days and that's been going alright, need more variety though.

Eh? what?
Classics can be fun too.. Chronic 2001 is pretty much one long party track..

I think ECM1 will be more your thing, from what I know about you... But if you don't mind Lex Luger and Drumma Boy to lift to 6 and 7 should bang out..

Doggystyle as well..
I mean sure a few "serious" songs are sprinkled in all albums, even Luda's..
If he made a whole album like Move Bitch or Stand Up.. it would be a classic for sure..

Ignorant7 is perfect for the gym, it starts slow and builds ups.

I still spin it.. Get Back goes still, and so does Southern Hospitality

I have a dope mix with Everlasting bass that I have been meaning to do for y'all.. but it mixes with Mannie
Back for the First Time is easily a classic in my eyes.
No one was flowing like that at the time. He tore it down the whole year with that.

Stick em Up

just to name a few.
U Got a Problem is one of the best Lead Off tracks in history. That's how you start an album.

Not taking anything from Luda but saying no one was "flowing" like that in 2000 is plain wrong..
That huge energy, wit and exaggerated delivery seemed really fresh to me.
Got any examples?
I can't find a direct father of Luda's style.
Complex Shadow
Cudi Lame
not luda but what about break ya neck?

Luda is Luda no doubt...
But 40 water had been out since the 90s, UGK was also getting it in..I would also add cold 187um, but the styles are very different...
Master P, while no where near smooth, had raw energy and Eightball or MJG was doing it, and Luda has said they were who he looked up to..
It is hard to compare because the only rapper like Luda to me in any way is Busta...
But that kind of hard flow has been around

Not so much.. In my posse I got a DJ who pulls it out from time to time..

can you list your tip 5 artist whos old song you still spin from time to time. i am just curious.
Loving the Luda love on this page.
Dude was always on his shit.
Some people say he declined with red light district but I disagree, shit was hot fire. Release therapy had that jeezy track so it's good in my book. All his albums were fire.
Except for theater of the mind. That shit was garbage. Battle of the sexes was good enough for what it was doing.

Eightball and MJG had it to me..
Ball & MJG were a lot smoother than Luda imo. They didn't have his little crazy caricature rapper thing going on. (I personally prefer Ball & MJG. First 3 albums are untouchable classics)
But yo, I just now noticed the KRIT show is a Cole show......wonder how much shit I can pop to him between songs.
