u mean "up here" but I get the point and I know he shouted out ya city.

but 2 b real wit u. I'm not a racist to canadians because my girlfriend is half canadian. Secondly, I really don't know if soulja boy is fake or real in the streets but when it comes to rap hes fake. In my book of hip hop, keepin it real is putting an effort in your lyrics and fake is the opposite of this (not putting an effort in your lyrics). As for the DJ thing I got 15 mixtapes on datpiff and the 16th is coming soon and all got good ratings. As for Gigs, I don't do gigs. Not every DJ does gigs, I only do mixtapes, I'm not broke and I think owning a $200,000 house in southern NJ explains alot of it. As for me playing soulja boy to get a gig, It be a cold day in hell before I play dat wack rapper. And I won't lie T.I. is cool but hes not the king of the south, give that to Scarface or 8Ball & MJG (dat be kings of the south tho). I don't mean listen to only nas to respect this game. Like who u want but stop the dick riding.

im glad to see luda in georgia music hall of fame, but it aint fair to compare his career 2 tip's. yes luda has sold more records than tip, but luda is much more commerical than ti. so to me with takin that into consideration, and tip's legal situation, it makes since that luda would get in b4 tip. and another thing, i didn't see jd or outkast's name on that list either. look at their contributions to the atl hiphop seene.

oh yeah if u really a DTP fan buy lil fate new cd "do u believe in fate" his first single is off the chain. go to down-south.com to check up on fate. Hits stores 3rd week of august. And check on i-20's status with 3 hit singles "Down south" "flicking ashes" and "come see me then". i-20 in my opinion is 2nd best in DTP.

Ludaa!!!! He cold. He needed that recognition to keep him level-headed about being underrated. The most underrated. Since his first big hits he's been spittin. You can say he's commercial all you want but the facts still remain that there's nothing fake about getting your money. MOB nigga what!!!!! Why does everybody have an opinion about who's the king when really hip-hop was meant to unite black people? It was meant to tell a story and teach. Not the glamour and glory that most artists look for these days. This award is well-deserved. Keep doin it bruh!!!

Congratulations Luda, and about f'ing time! Luda is probably the best round package rapper there is. He's big commercially, yet he still has street credibility and well respected. Anything Luda touches is platinum. He has lyrical content and is always fresh, his flows are sick and catchy, he appeals to both genders. You can count the number of rappers who can do what Luda does in one hand. I think only Jay-Z has this type of appeal close to Luda. As much as I like Nas, he's lryical and smart and all that, but does not have the commercial appeal Luda has. Luda is what every rapper should strive for, he can ride that thin line on commercially successful yet still respected by the streets and still hold his own and do joints with the likes of Nas. I don't know a person who doesn't like Ludacris, period!
