Just how good was Ludacris In his Prime?

[TayJone]

i still listen to Back for the First Time and Word of Mouf...
Luda in his prime was serious no doubt. if you really get into his flows and listen to them, the same way people might say Eminem can go all wacky but he still kills it...or Killa Cam can do the same thing

^^^that nigga knows..

 

[ysl313]

luda was almost the perfect emcee

sick metaphors, hilarious delivery, could flow with anybody [example: made you loook remix is a perfect one], could make a r&b hit or a hard as track, had solid albums for the most part, could battle if he needed to ["war with god" would have ruined t.i,'s career if he said that niggas name]

he just has been so funny on the mic that a lot of niggas dont give him the cred he deserved

 

[Just2C]

Word of Mouf = Luda's prime

 

[iphucq]

luda was always mediocre at best....hge is the best 2 southerners that never heard a nigga rap over beats u can dance 2......just like wayne

what im sayin is......he is lyrical 2 idiots...."u comin up short like 10 damyy devito's".........ohhhhh....so lyrical........

FOH

He could outrap any nigga tbh.

Busta been out longer and still dont have shit on Luda.

Luda murdered Nas twice. One time on his own shit too.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Great rapper, definitely one of the best in mainstream

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

lmao busta...hell nawl.

?!?

I used to be in the Flipmode camp... but then the "Woo Hah" got tired! and even though he wasn't rapping about anything [and y'all know he wasn't] we gave him a pass because he was unique... but the guy hasn't dropped anything in a sec...

Luda has continuously drop punchlines and hits whereas Busta needs to collab to do it [example: "thanks Wayne for giving us another classic with Tha Carter 4" ?!?] Luda's lane is the jokester... much like Fabo won't get much acclaim either... they hold their own weight... but the public is not ready to push them onto a pedestal... or they're not willing to jump on one... but don't try to take it from Luda...

 

[Triple B's]

Ludacris still has the best intros. Like his first four albums had the hottest intros. But all in all Luda will go down as a legend as one of the best rapper/actors

really....naw

 

[Esiam]

Ehh... I don't know if he fell off, he just sorta stagnated, did the same thing over and over... It was fresh in the beginning I guess, then people just got bored with it... That's my take on it at least, I never considered him to be anything supergreat though...

 

[Birdman's Hands]

Excellent rapper who could flow with the best of them

But if he had talked about real life issues more he would be a legend

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

It aint his best verse but I love the verse on Pick up the phone lol.

One of my favorites

 

[blackgotty]

What prime? That man is the bart simpson of rap .He can flow and rhyme like no other but only raps about chicken and beer

He´s yet to reach his prime .He´s a skilled big joke

Luda remained consistent and that of itself was tragic. When he blew wasn't much else (mainstream) lyrical from the south. He garnered a large following off that alone. Luda never grew as an artist. He stagnated over that fact. Average at best. Took advantage of the vacuum.
