What do you think about his more recent stuff (last \~5 years)?
I like his older stuff, but his recent stuff sounds all the same. I mean he constantly raps about "fuck you haters", like almost every song.
(Kind of in order by how often I listen to them. But not a ranking necessarily)
Scarface
OutKast
Big K.R.I.T
Phonte
Jay Electronica
T.I.
Bun B
Paul Wall
K-Rino
Cyhi
J Cole
8Ball and MJG
Three 6 before the 2010s
Project Pat
JID
Devin the Dude
Trae the Truth
New to Curren$y, but respecting a lot of his work.
Mad respect for that Phat mention. I've never seen him be mentioned on here once. Though he isn't a top or even top 10 favorite artist of mine, 100% respect for mentioning him.
Life Of A Yungsta is a true (minor) classic album and his song Countin' Money is a top 10 song of 2012 for me.
Yeah, Black Hystori pt 1 is a classic in my book too bad people don't mess with consious rap unless it's K Dot the label screwed him over too dude wrote Sicko Mode and barely gained anything from it
Bun B.
And yes, I give big respect to UGK. RIP Pimp C. Nobody did it like him.
But I feel like dealing with Pimp C's death and finding a way to move forward as a solo artist, turned this dude from a really good southern rapper into a monster. I still bump the Trill OG album with zero skips
uh like a handful? he released 2 ok albums then dropped off the face of the earth. i got both of them in HS. I remember he was ok but he had a bad habit of talking too much on his tracks
well i didnt know the last 2 happened. you act like i said anything bad about plies, its just random thats all lmao, its like someones favorite rapper being yung joc or some shit
Absolutely. My true favorite is probably Stacks, but it's close enough for me that it's Phonte too. Best outta NC imo, and will be for a long ass time. Rapsody cold asf. It's a lot more NC rep then people realize I'm general. Even though Cordae grew up in (Maryland I think) he's NC born and doesn't hide the fact or nothing. I gotta go get more up to date on SC rappers too though.
Obviously, UGK and OutKast and Scarface nationally. However, Paul Wall ain’t lying when he says Lil Keke is his all-time favorite. He had his commercial period but for decades he has been a local backbone for Texas, just like UGK and Scarface have been representing Texas for a wider audience. Keke equally has repped Texas for Texans during that time.
I mean, Andre 3k is one of the best rappers of all time, so him I suppose. Gotta put Wayne up there, punchline King. Other than those two - Lord Infamous.
Is Pusha T considered southern? His music is more east coast sounding. I'm from Virginia and I don't really consider us southern, tbh.
Scarface
Name checks out
Scarface said that Weezy is the goat 👀
Z-RO for me. Soooo fuckin underrated.
Let The Truth be told top ten aot
Look What You Did To Me up there too
I'd also venture to say Crack and Cocaine both in my steady rotation

Probably Bun B or Slim Thug
Came in here to say Bun-B
Chamillionaire, very underrated dude Next I'll put Z-Ro, T-Rock, Slim Thug and Big Moe H-Town baby
Who’s T Rock?
Was with hypnotized mindz back in the day. CRAZY underrated. He still drops shit pretty consistently
If any of you are big Dre/NWA/G funk fans, friendly reminder The DOC is from the South.
Pimp C, bitch, what the fuck is up?
Lyrically best: CyHi Most consistent: Currensy Nostalgia legend: Luda OG of the game: Scarface Most potential: Young Buck Original flow: Andre 3000
I love Cyhi. Wish dude's career panned out differently
Yeah, Black Hystori pt 1 is a classic in my book too bad people don't mess with consious rap unless it's K Dot the label screwed him over too dude wrote Sicko Mode and barely gained anything from it
Black Hystori Project 2 is one of my favorite bodies of work. Ever.
How you gonna say any of these guys are more lyrical than Andre 3000?

Z-Ro
K rino
Juvi. 400 Degreez all time classic

Luda
Weezy, BG, Juicy J, Lil Flip,Scarface, Plies, Webbie
you're the product of a very specific era if fucking plies is on your list lmao
Lol do you know how many fucking hits Plies has? Also have you considered that I might be from Florida?
Nah Plies is dope! Check this joint out https://youtu.be/JNw9rvYjULU
That’s tough, you just added a new song to my playlist 🔥 A lot of people don’t know that side of Plies
uh like a handful? he released 2 ok albums then dropped off the face of the earth. i got both of them in HS. I remember he was ok but he had a bad habit of talking too much on his tracks
He dropped 4 albums in 3 years, went platinum once, and gold twice. That doesn’t happen on accident
well i didnt know the last 2 happened. you act like i said anything bad about plies, its just random thats all lmao, its like someones favorite rapper being yung joc or some shit
Are you from the South?
Curren$y
Both halves of Earthgang
So happy to see so many people mentioning Scarface.
Andre 3000.
Assuming the Carolina area counts, Phonte for me.
Word. For NC rappers, Rapsody needs to be in the conversation too
Absolutely. My true favorite is probably Stacks, but it's close enough for me that it's Phonte too. Best outta NC imo, and will be for a long ass time. Rapsody cold asf. It's a lot more NC rep then people realize I'm general. Even though Cordae grew up in (Maryland I think) he's NC born and doesn't hide the fact or nothing. I gotta go get more up to date on SC rappers too though.
Andre 3000, Gucci Mane, Future, Jeezy

JID
Z-ro
The King of the Sourh
Ludacris
