Why does nobody seem to care about Ludacris's 2000's run? Is his music dated?

    Red Light District is cool, I like it more than the projects that came after, but I’ll never play that s--- all the way through, it’s way too long and not every song hits
    Had no idea he had an actual restaurant tho

    Word of Mouf was the s---, but I remember buying Chicken & Beer being one of the most disappointing experiences of my childhood. I think his legacy is rated appropriately, he wasn’t that good lol

    We know the exact moment Ludacris went from being one of the coolest dudes ever to being corn.

    I loved Word of Mouf and Chicken and Beer was pretty decent. Red Light District had a few good tracks but was nothing great. I liked him and thought he was catchy, picked great beats and made some good hits, but I always put him in the Nelly/Fabolous league. Not great but good and made some top tier TRL tracks for the time

    Exactly how I feel about him.

    No classic albums. He's one of those dudes that can rap his a--- off but lacks creativity or song writing skills. Bit harsh but I see him as a kmart red man

    Having hits doesn't make an album a classic

    It definitely helps though, as well as having no filler tracks… I can play word of Mouf front to back.

    Luda's great, made a long list of classic hits and great albums but he basically retired 10 years ago now. No doubt he's a legend though. But Gucci's a contender for one of the greatest rappers of all time, DOA, i dont think they're even on the same playing ground.
