He did it way before DJ Khaled.

Nobody has enough pull to make this happen, but he had enough respect to be able to do so.🔥
Ludacris was on top foreal.

Classic

I used to fw this album too. this was back when rappers in the south really wanted that validation from the hip hop heads lol

This album had some songs on it

Last of a Dying Breed

Shame it feels like Luda just doesn’t get his flowers like that

Was a big fan of this album as a kid

Great album

i wonder if like gen alpha only knows him from fast and furious on sum will smith s***

Underrated album

Might be my fav Luda album. This is probably the best song with Jay and Nas too

I’d argue so deadass

Or they may know the sound of some of his biggest tracks but not know it’s him

Nas's flow on this was crazy

This was Ludacris's last good album

Luda had way bigger hits than Will respectfully at
minimum songs like Move B**** are gonna transcend generations

Crazy how Luda ruined his legacy Making garbo car movies and coming back with s***ty edm cross over raps.

Not sure I’d be that confident Ludas biggest songs are bigger than wills tbh

Fire album, fire artist. Luda would be the #1 rapper in the game rn if he was in his prime today. He had a run of hits that's so slept on. Real hits, not flavor of the month hits. Super underrated.

Eh his legacy is set. One of the best from the south, dominating run in the first half of the 00s. True hitmaker. Left his prime and started doing side projects--just like 50, Cube, Snoop, Jay, Ye etc..

That the younger generations don't give him his flowers is another issue--younger generations don't give nobody pre 2004/5ish flowers lol

He was setting himself up to be an album artist but went ghost and came back with some of the s***test crossover tracks ever. He lost a lot of ears doing that.

its just most of his music is very of its era its kinda hard to find a reason to get into ludacris if ur a young person in 2025

When actually being a nigga that took hip hop serious actually benefitted your career lol

Its because he wasnt much of an album guy unfortunately

Arguably had the best singles in the game in early 2000s though

More like he intelligently pivoted to something else that would make him more money because Sean and Drake took everything that he would have been able to use to appeal to younger people lol

Wayne and Kanye fault lol their influence is so strong in the next gen it overpowers all the other mainstream guys from their era aside from Hov and Em

It happens to TI too lol

Legendary

I’d feel this if he didn’t start dissing Sean and drake and spend years trying to get his audience back

Who will be the first to put Kendrick and Drake on a song 5+ years from now?

I mean they took his s*** and then I assume sent little slick lines

On top of whatever else was happening with trap music taking over especially for him in the south

What was he supposed to do instead lmao
