Young Dro (over Luda)
Killer Mike (over Big Boi)

My opinion is Luda hasn't made a consistent album. Dro's debut alone was pretty hot and his wordplay flies over ppl's heads..plus got a classic mixtape to his name.

Killer Mike is so damn amazing its unreal.

[Eddie G.]

this is shit. how the fuck are you gonna put people like flo-rida, soulja boy, trina, lil mama, young dro in this?  this is a travesty to hip-hop.  when you've got one of the biggest hip-hop publications representing the culture like this to the public, no wonder we're in the state we are right now.

Nah nah nah, you're tripping man - Luda's guest appearances is enough to edge out Dro! Luda got wordplay, flows for years, humour, swag, lyrics. Wasn't it you who said you didn't really count mixtapes?

Killer Mike is good, but we're talking about Big Boi from The OutKast man - a damn legend.

But opinions is opinons, I just gotta say what I feel.

He's just mad cuz Ludacris shitted on T.I. and he knows neither T.I. nor Dro can touch Luda on the mic. It's a damn shame when people credit a rapper for being better based on his ear for beats.

Redman is Top 10 all time maybe Top 15 at the least. Method Man is not even close solo wise.
