I like The Documentary, but I'll admit it's probably because of Dre and Just Blaze.
Have you guys seen the old clips of the rap awards (can't remember the name of them, it's the really famous one(EDIT: Source Awards)) where Outkast won the best new artist award except it was the year where Snoop and the whole Death Row crew started the feud, so since Outkast wasn't from the East coast they got booed? Oh man, that is so crazy.
You know you like an artist when you hear their song on KISS FM and you like it (Chamillionaire's "Turn it Up ft. Lil Flip), man that's a weird feeling. Ususally I just put it on for catchy songs that I like, but it takes no skill to create like "My Humps".
Luda's awesome, but the Cham album I was mostly refering to wasn't "Sound of Revenge", but his "Get ya Mind Correct" album with the beats by Paul Wall. It's pretty good, but once again, it's all about money and candy paint.
ANOTHER EDIT: Yeah, T.I.'s really holding it down for the south right now. He's probably the King of the South right now. I'm a fan of him too, but he's not talking about candy paint, he's talking about selling coke.
