For me Ludacris is one of the only main stream artists i can listen too... i would say he is the best main steam artist out right now he always comes hard on everything i have yet to hear a ludacris versus that isnt :o if you disagree please state so and why
-
so true
everytime i listen to the made you look remix i'm just like :o
loveee that remix
-
I'm down with that. I'd put Outkast above him for sure because they're the first ones that come off the top of my head when I think mainstream. Luda is dope tho.
-
I always felt he was underrated,Homeboy has dope punchlines and wordplay. Unforunatly he gets lumped into the MTV category which is ok i guess but he has more substance than that IMO.
-
i like him, beccaause hes different than a lot of other rappers in the industry.
he doesnt worry about carrying a hard gangster image, hes just all about having good times and like party music..
and hes got a distinct style, so its dope.
-
Best flow out right now IMO. Not feeling his albums as a whole but he makes good tracks.
-
his albums are mediocre and Í never got into him as a rapper. Not denying heīs got talent though. But as for talent and emceeing, better "mainstream" artists would include
Eminem
Outkast, both of em
Nas
Jada
several Wu-Tang members
and some more, but Iīm too tired to make a good list now
(IMO of course)
-
Yeah him along w/ outkast are dope...I think people brush him off as one of the crappy mainstream acts but he actually spits dope punchlines and his flow is nice
-

Nas
Jada
i disagree with those two being better then ludacris.... Nas is a good Emcee no doubt but he is no longer in his prime... proof of this is in the song Virgo both parts are sick IMO but Ludacris is much better... and i wouldnt even consider Jadakiss as a better mainstream artist...he maybe better lyrcist but when it comes to flow and delivery ludacris shits on him
-
he needs to put more effort into his albums not just his singles thats his problem
-
he fell off after word of mouf
-
I still enjoy listening to his shit , like his verse on Oh from ciara, good club shit 8)
-
Eminem
you think shit like ass like that is better than luda's ?
Em got more skill, potentially, but nowadays he can't be taken seriously as an artist.
luda's club tracks >>> Eminem's childlike bullshit humor tracks

IMO, flow and delivery is about equal in Jadaīs case, plus heīs the better lyricist and has one ill voice.
Nas is indeed no longer in his prime, but "NY State Of Mind", "Represent", "Rewind", "2nd Childhood", "The Message", "Doo Rags" and dozens of other tracks are LIGHT YEARS ahead of anything Luda could write, Nasī flow is dope as hell, his voice is great...talent-wise I think Luda is no competition for him at all
Eminem

...of course Eminemīs been sucking hard lately. "Ass Like That" is about as good as a slightly below average Yayo track (how I love to bash Yayo, sorry for doing it again) or what I suppuse "Hannicap Circus" to be like. But that doesnīt change anything about Eminem being one of the most talented MCīs to EVER grab a pen and a pad, from lyrical tongue-twisting on "Hellbound" and "Infinite", to skillful bullshit lyrics that were actually funny, "Role Model", "Just Donīt Give A Fuck" to even serious shit like "Stan" or "Sing For The Moment". Luda can NOT fuck with that
-
Yep I like Luda's delivery but his albums aren't impressive for me. He has to improve when it comes to pick a beat, too much fillers on every album he did

true, I thought 'emceeing' refered to his today's "emceeing" also.
-
ludacris - growing pains come close to those eminem songs... also eminem has fallen off...ludacris keeps comin with heat
-
i really like ludacris and i thought red light disctrict was a cool album.
-
I agree for the most part, him and DMX are my favorite mainstream artists.
-
Luda has got talent but he is one of those artists who dont say anything worth listening to.
-
luda has some skills, but i cant say i feel all his shit...
one of my fave luda verses was "freaky thangs" with twista...
-
yea luda is good mainstream artist but ye he did fall off a lil after "word of mouf" but still one of the better artists out their... BUT the comment to compare ludacris to Nas is crazy i think, Nas is the hardest mainstream artist about.. IMO he's easily within the top 3 Lyricists in rap & is true that he's gone relaxed a lil but when on his form aint really anyone that can touch him.. very deep artist id say. 8)
-
Luda sux donkey dick
-
ludas an amazing artist, one of the few mainstream cats who gets love from both bitches and niggaz when he drops his shit, commercial or not....
-
luda is redman lite. he can adjust to any beat. his flow is just too nice, and hes one of the best lyricists in the game, but he will never make a classic album, and in that way he reminds me of eminem. fabolous and camron are better to me tho, when it comes to pure skills. their wordplay is much better too.
-
Fuck Luda :D....i only like that 1 song that goes "all this drinking gone catch up,all this smoking gone catch up" 8)
-
Ludacris is dope. I just wished he made better albums. I love his singles though. I heard some song of his on XM radio that had me dancing in my ride. Ludacris is definitely an expert at that and he's entertaining. He's one of the top southern artists definitely and he's a nice lyricist. He has his own unique style and personality and it works for him.
-
Luda is dope man 8)
-
Nas's voice has always sounded boring too me ;D
-
Pond 4 Pound On Any Level Ludacris Iz Undisputed He's Well rounded And can Handle Himself In A Battle From What I can tell on STOMP with Young Buck He's Truly to be tested but If you compare ghim 2 say a Jay-z He's Just As consistant sure a Chicken & beer was only OK but redlight District was The Shit and his Dilivery Is Beautiful on almost every track he spits on even the Wack shit he's the real Jay-z of the South If you ask Me 8)
-
yepp ludacris deserves the money ;D
-
yup, him and outkast ;D
peace
-
Luda is a male version of Missy. Come to think of it, I rather hear Missy's catalog any day of the week.
-
hez arite, im startin to like him less tho
get back was addictive
number one spot was wutever
pimpin all over the world is annoyin cause of valentino; plus it soundz similar to Area Codes.
im likin T.I. now more than him
