Luda is super underrated. He had more punchlines than 95% of commercial rappers and ran the charts for over a decade and still never gets talked about in top 5 lists. I'm not even from the south and think it's criminal

[@RubenRyb66]

In the south he's damn near on everyones top 5. To this day ppl still say "uuuuus a hoeeeee" from time to time lol. Hell freestyle bars from mouthing off and word of mouf still get quoted

He didn’t let Ludacris hear it. This guy is wrong on that. It was a dj who helped produce the song that showed Ludacris. T.I. was upset with the producer. That’s why buck asked t.I. cause he wasn’t stirring up drama but hearing that verse of course he would want it on the album. He is acting like he was the person who put it together but the producer who was cool with both Luda and buck is the reason Ludacris heard it.

Let's not forget this started around the time that Luda did that verse on that Made You Look remix which I think put him in the upper tier of emcees. Plus he was hopping on features left and right. He was diverse and consistent. Hard to top that organic feeling he gave you with his music/videos.

[@mackattack81]

[@synical_comics_stl]

On the song I'm Talking To You, I always thought that was aimed at Flip, because in the last verse T.I. name off rappers he cool with and the only one he seemingly don't name is Flip

It was aimed at flip.... Dude just talking

[@kaseempayne2212]

Right exactly. Also Tip was hating on flip hard he had to be because T.I. Saw how flip was shining and doing features so tip saw flip as competition. The only advantage that T.I. Had over flip is that T.I. Could rap better and more catchier songs.
