Who is the best rapper from Atlanta?
Where is so so def?? JD IS THE BEST PERIOD
@@ninarossthequeen Best what?
You went Luda Over 2 Chainz ??? Then you said he rap better that chainz 😬😬😬
T.I.P. or CyHi The Prynce
☃️
T.I. knows Atlanta rap history. I appreciate most how he explains all of his picks and bigged up both the winners and losers.
TI doing his best not to offend any of his friends.
Ludacris definitely need his flowers
👍🏾💯🍻
Facts
I agree, great lyricist!
Give Big Boi his flowers too
@@del800 Yup
I agree with Tip..Outkast put Atl squarely on the map.Before them, I never heard of Atl Rap.They are the Wu of The South.
you never heard of luke?
Same 🙂
For me Goodie Mob was the Wu of the South.
@@handyvan3422 I heard lf Luke but coming from NYC, Like wasn't re all considered The South even though it is The South.Outkast has the southern lingo,twamg,slang etc..When they said, The South got something to day at Source Awards in 95 in the middle of East Wets Coast Beef, he solidified Atl as the epicenter of southern rap music.
@@handyvan3422 Luke from Miami. He said ATL
T.I. still looks young. Salute the legend
He looks old af
RIP Takeoff💙🙏🏾🕊️
This hands down is the best battle EVER right here
These were some rough match ups, I feel for TI! 😂
Ikr 😂😂😂 I'm at home like come on maaane. I can't do this
Atlanta is a powerhouse
Outkast is the 🐐 of Atlanta!
Point blank period
Why is this even a debate?
Since 1994 💯
Facts
TI is the true king of the south! I remember rubber band man, whatchu know, motivation.. my guy was on a roll during his come up.

@@ryanbaumgart9837 he had to apologize to luda after that song.
This bracket speaks to the talent of Atlanta!
Eh

Saw your comment soon as I was saying to myself that’s real tip. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thing is I feel like 2 chainz always gets forgotten about when it comes to best trap rappers ever .. it’s always jeezy, gucci then tip cuz of the term “trap music”
Hitman Sammy Sam music raised me
T.I is such a GOAT!!

Excluding T.I. From this conversation is pretty dumb even tho he debating
Fax tho
fax he might be the winner if he competed 😄
He would've won duh, that's y hes out
All of them are greats in the game!!!!! One time Rocko, Trouble, & Peewee Longway!!!!!
Rocko is heavily slept on, because he didn’t have the commercial success others have, but in the Skeets, he is the LINGO/WORDPLAY GAWD of Atlanta
B bow rocko was a commercial success wyb 🤨 that first album 😬geesh a beast & those mixtapes & he is still relevant one of my favorites period💙
I would give that to Young Dro superbly underrated
Rocko my fav lol
They def set t.i. up wit alot of these matchups 😂😂
Right my boy Luda lose to Jeezy naw
Honorable mentions: Rocko, Skooly, Young Dro, Yung Ralph, Shad Da God, Trouble, Alley Boy, Lil Duke, Jody Breeze, Lil Gotti, Pastor Troy, Peewee Longway, Yung Booke, Gorilla Zoe, B.o.B, RaRa, Young Scooter, Cyhi The Prince… who else I’m missing 🤔
RIP Marlo “Curb Service” will forever be on repeat 🔂
Man they could have made a bracket of 64 fareal lol Waka Flocka, Young Bloodz, Crime Mob, Fabo, Yung Joc, Lil Scrappy, D4L, Childish Gambino, Jermaine Dupri, Left Eye r.i.p, Cee Lo
Don't forget Bankroll Shawty Lo

Duo: Outkast
Group: Migos
Artist: Future
Trap Artist: Gucci
Lyricist: Ludacris
People sleep on luda..
Jeezy lol best bangers ever
You must really be from the city!! And don’t forget how Zaytoven made rounds for a lot of them.
I whole heartedly agree with this
Ludacris had rap city best of the booth, several times.
TI Top 5 Favorite Rappers Of All Time 💯💪🏾
Outkast is the best group/duo to ever do it!
OUTKAST is the best duo in MUSIC PERIOD. Any genre.
Naw
One of
Luda is definitely an underrated lyricist his lyrics in his main days were insane
Agree completely
Luda sneaky with his lyrics and metaphor play
My knock on Luda is he go's harder on features then his own songs at time.
Outside of of field mob he dominated songs he was featured on
His delivery was insane too, he definitely made his presence felt through any song he was on
Thank you for mentioning Sammy Sam and kilo …. Most people that moved here don’t know the origin of Atlanta music! I was born in the 80s and raised in the 90s …. Miss them times man!
He should have said Pastor Troy instead of Sammy tho lbh
and raheem the dream also
@@jacksonhewitt7827 the reason he said Sammy Sam is because of you from Atlanta , you know Sam been out since the early 90s…. I remember Sam growing up with my uncle ! All are legends though
@@slictheripper right on…. Legend as well!
Was MC Shy D. from Atlanta?
R.I.P Take. 🙏🏾
Outkast definitely the best
As a white conservative metalhead from Atlanta GA, I wholeheartedly agree with T.I. I remember when I was probably 8ish years old living in a neighborhood in a little town outside of Atlanta called Rex, I was outside playing and noticed this odd looking dude walking by my house pushing a stroller that was dressed in a way you don't normally see in that part of town. He kept looking at me I guess waiting for a reaction. I didn't realize who it was because I'd never seen Andre at that point in time but was certainly familiar with OutKasts music. Later that day my friend were freaking out saying OutKast was in the neighborhood. Turns out his grandma lived a few doors down from me haha so we went over and met them. I'm now 31 and still remember that like it was yesterday. OutKast are by far the kings of Atlanta hip-hop, T.I is certainly a close 2nd though. I used to do work in his neighborhood.
Fortnite fortnite fortnite
TI is respectfully not close to OUTCAST in making music.
@@teresacrump9099 maybe, but as far as popularity, community impact and engagement and someone that showcases what Atlanta has to offer, I'd say he's up there.
I work down the street from Rex on Moreland near Blaze.
white conservative metalhead from Atlanta GA
Outkast, TI, Ludacris, Jeezy, Migos and Future are internationally known.
Sidenote: one of the best rappers from Atlanta that never gets his credit. ROCKO!
MOST UNDERRATED PERIOD. A TOP 5 LYRICIST FROM ATL. HAS HIS OWN LANE AND STYLE AND EXCUTES AS THE HIGHEST LEVEL. HE SHOULD BE HELD WITH THE SAME REGARD AS THE JEEZYS, GUCCIS, AND TIPS!
Fax his verse on plain Jane is my favorite verse by him
on soul❕
Stop it
@@sensethevillen go listen to plenty.
I agree but we can't overlook Dro
I can't wait to be apart convos like this
Keep dreaming, pal.
@@isaidwhatisaid5369 typical hater I'm already in the convos in my own city I just want to be a status symbol
@@Dnashtharapper Ok buddy, no problem. I said what I said. Peace.
@@Dnashtharapper keep working bro as someone who has the same dream but I wanna be mentioned wit the greats of all times but rn I gotta start off wit Philly but we both gon make it bro don’t listen to the haters
@@bizquadee4611 fax bro they just distractions
Outkast & "ATLiens" album is their best project of all time to me!!!! 👽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Outkast everyday keep playing in the car on the phone
Aquemini?
@@kevinjackson6420 not close
@@QMckoy aquemini, southernplaya, speakerboxx/ love are better slightly
All facts
TI the creator of trap music so many rappers came thru the trap music era
GHETTO MAFIA STARTED TRAP
“ We laid the bricks down! “ 😂 literally
ATliens!!! is my number one go to Album still to this day during hard times!!!
Luda is the greatest ever out Atlanta. Period
Being raised in Atlanta I would have to say this is 98.9% correct! The way he spoke about Kast you gotta respect it when we were striving to get recognition no one was riding with us. Everyone wanted to be NY. Probably why I am so proud to be from Da Souf now 💯
You know T.I wasn’t gone rock with Gucci 😂
Nobody had a run like Jeezy he literally changed the game
@@Authentic1874 Nobody had a run like Jeezy? Mf are you high? T.I.'s run was definitely more legendary than Jeezy's
@@FlyAwayChi Fool I’m talkin about the comparison between Gucci and jeezy and the impact Jeezy had on the game, I’m from the A I watched all their movements I know what I’m talkin about
Gucci definitely on the Mount Rushmore of Atlanta!!
@@Authentic1874 facts. From here too, Moreland avenue
TI is a much better comedian when he’s not trying to be funny
When it comes to Atlanta Rap Outkast is the Clear #1, In the next tier I would have T.I, Jeezy, Future, Gucci & Luda.
Facts. Accurate. Respect.
JID vs Gunna is absolutely hilarious!
TI is one of the funniest chill dudes!
I was waiting to hear his perspective on Jeezy vs Gucci
Wow yall came in swinging on this one. Killer Mike vs Lil' Jon tho????? lol All in fun This bracket really just shows how much Talent and donations to the culture we have recieved from one city. Much love to the A. ................ PS I enjoyed performing in TOSA btw s/o to the city for a warm welcome each time. The black Metropolis, with our artists as Superman. -Poetiq
I’d say Future he’s been making hits since 2010 and still is
2005**
2010/2011
T.I is the King of Rap of the South and the King of Rap Atlanta
Ti analogy was so perfectly said
I’m glad Tip gave Kilo Ali and Sammy Sam and Big Boi their flowers
I grew up in Atlanta I can't believe I forgot about Sammy sam smdh I gotta go relive my child hood thanks T.I.
Oomp Camp & the Diablos
Love this series 💪🏾
Why isnt T Rock in this list?? No one ever talks about this man.
Hes been rocking in the A long before these artists!!
Outkast set it off for the whole south, the group name itself holds a whole lotta weight
Enjoyed this - salute TIP
Outkast rightfully deserves that crown, i dont think anybody can really argue that
Genius brackets 💯
Future hands down stamped 2022 since he been out..... the grind been consistent
The fact that they even had to contemplate on Luda vs Chainz … wow
Salute to Atlanta definitely came along way in too the hip hop game
Rubber band man himself🔥💰
If the question is ATL Rap or Southern Hip-Hop in general, the answer is always OutKast
This interview just shows you how Atlanta has dominated the hip-hop industry for the past 20-25 years.
"The South's got something to say"-Andre 3000
Ludacris is top 5 ever from ATL, I'd even go top 3!
Luda is 1a and TI is 1b in Atlanta
See they go after Luda. Because he wasn’t born in Atlanta just like Tupac wasn’t born in California but Luda represents ATL fosho
It goes
1. Outkast
2. Luda
Ummm 10 not 5
Definitely top 5
The hard boys put Atlanta gangster rap on the map
RIP Take
Word. I'm from Chicago and my pops put me on Outkast when he barely supported rap at the time in the early 2000s
B. Dot probably found a great co host. They have great chemistry
Pastor Troy doesn't get enough love in Atl. My guy had the city going crazy
As soon as JID and Gunna came up, I yelled JID!!! He is Atlanta’s J.Cole!
He’s Atlanta’s K Dot.
Replace Gunna with Tha God Fahim and the list is perfect
This was a dope interview!
Andre3k raps circles around all these foolz ....
INFINITY CIRCLES
Atlanta stand up 🔥🔥‼️
Ti picking Jeezy ova Gucci is him low key still being salty 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nah jeezy better
He actually mentioned Cyhi. That’s what up.
The prynce
He should've mentioned Tha God Fahim
Gucci the King he turned the independent game out. He help alot rappers careers. He got more songs than anybody in music any genre Greatest
Jeezy
Gucci the goat as far as THE CULTURE IN ATL
Tha God Fahim flipped the independent game and physical music game like Cds cassettes snd Vinyls in the A back in 2017 he was selling vinyl for $700 and selling out every time
People gon disagree until you find out Future a product of the Dungeon Family
TI the 🐐 of ATL
So happy to be born and Raised in ATL!🍑🥰
Rest In Peace Takeoff
Same rest in peace takeoff you will definitely be missed 🥺💔
My favorite album out of ATL is Aquemini
Thank you for giving Big Boi his flowers
TIP made great picks.
Literally no argument where the MOST talent comes from…Atlanta been had it on lock sheesh💯
Outcast and Ti,are the best two rap acts out of Atlanta.Anybody saying anything different is a hater.
I think Luda and killer mikes is in there as well. Luda is so underrated and Mike is as well
Luda murdered TI..... Luda that dude
@@luddman77 You must be a Ti hater or something because that verse in stomp wasn't all that.Talking bout he Murdered ti? Respect to luda but luda ain't got nothing on Ti.Its Either Ignorance or Envy.
@@JC-dj6up TI was fcking with the wrong one. I love them both, I just think Luda is better!!!
@@JC-dj6up nawl bro tip ain’t got nothing on cris
Rich homie not even being on the bracket is a complete smack in the face why rich homie keep getting disrespected on these big platforms wow
"you hear me but do you feel me?" gotta be the best piece of journalism since nardwar
Bruh Jeezy hands down bro u have to listen to every album bro he taught Atlanta the definition of a real trapper this hands down
Facts grew up in that 4th ward Blvd was lit n he was telling our story on how we was trapping. DJ DRAMA SAID GANGSTA GRILL WAS BORN IN DA 4th ward understand that. You could make $16k - $25k in 1 week if was u trapping all day n night on Blvd
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Goodie Mob ,as well as Cee Lo solo career needs to be mentioned .
OUTKAST! Much Respect!!
You gone talk about Jeezy vs Gucci and pass on 21 vs lil baby. That’s how I know still upset 😂😂😂😂
Facts. Certain names are considered based on how industrious the “rappers “ were in the city. Now Gucci, and Shawtylo were not originally rappers. I think Zaytoven deserves an honorable mention because he was delivering the same beats to rival movements.
This shouldn't have been an debate. Outkast
Ludacris is so underrated for his contributions to the culture
