SOHH Atlanta

1-aNDRE 3000
2-BIG BOI
3LUDACRIS
4- GOODIE MOB
5- T I P

HONERABLE MENTION GOES TO THE NEW BRRED OF UNDERGROUND RAPPERS IN DA A-TOWN: JEEZY, JODY BREEZE, STAT-QUO, DOLLAR DRASTIC, DUKE, BIG KOUNTRY, LIL SCRAPPY, THEM ALL THE STREET ONES ANYWAY AAIIIGHT!

OH AND I FORGOT DA TRAP SQUAD AND DA BACKWUDZ FOR HONERABLE MENTION.

Killa Mike!!

He has to be the most underrated lyricists right now.

First of all Ludacris, Da Brat, and Bow Wow aint even from Georgia let alone Atlanta so they shouldn't even of been thought of!

1. OutKast
2. T.I.P.
3. Kilo
4. Jody Breeze
5. Jeezy

Atlanta-based you idiot shit if that's the case Jody Breeze from Griffin. G.O you a dumb azz

Plus your top 5 is garbage...Kilo?

Yall stop claiming Da Brat. She's a born and bred Chitown nigga.

And Left Eye is originally from philly.

1)DRE
2)CEE-LO
3)T.I.
4)LUDA
5)BIG BOI
HON. MEN.
PASTOR TROY, KILLA MIKE, AND LIL SCRAPPY
fUCK YOUNG CHEEZY

How is Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri considered honorable mentions? Don't they have ghostwriters? *shifty*

IF THERE IS ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT IS REALLY FROM THE A YOU WOULD HAVE PUT THE HARD BOYS AT LEAST IN THE MENTION. IF YOU EVEN HEARD OF THE HARD BOYS YOUR RESPONSE WOULD MAKE MY WEEK.

From my knowledge & ears ...I would say the list would be the following:

1. OutKast
2. Goodie Mob
3. T.I.
4. Ludacris
5. Killer Mike

Where in the fuck is Face?

since most of the the people who represent ATL arent from there, this question is interesting but i'll post up:

1. andre 3000-no disrespect to big boi or atlanta but you wont find 10 ATL niggas who'll try to touch that "hey ya" beat. they would be too scared

2.field mob-even they though they're from albany i gotta put both of them in here.

3. ludacris

4. t.i

5. young jeezy

6. ...and since field mob don't really count as atl niggas, i gotta put cee-lo. it was his niceness that got him the solo cd first out of the goodie mob

1.scarface 2. Andre 3000

KILLER MIKE is dat nigga for real! First off for all the outsiders, "the whole world" is not his first song...go back and get the Hard Knock Life Backstage soundtrack and listen to "Funkanella." Then listen to "Well" on Slimm Cutta Calhoun. Thats my nigga...it took a minute to realize that he is my favorite rapper.

Top 5 (in no particular order)

1. Dre--man, a new number needs to be created for him...its a given that he is the best on the planet...whats so cool is that he dont even know it.

2. Luda--this man is awesome...the only thing that keeps him from being mentioned with the Jay-Z and Big Daddy Kane and BIGs is that he damn near a cartoon...when or if he start speaking on some real-life shit...oooh, its a wrap

3. Cee-Lo--fuck it, this man saved my life in high school...listening to his sermons on CD...man, what else can i say

4. Killer Mike--(read the intro) this nigga is raw.

5. T.I.P.--this dude, remarkable. truly an urban legend.

Honarable mentions...Pastor Troy (circa 1998-2003), Bohagon, Big Boi, Gipp, Khujo, Gee Rock and Cee Smooth from Da Organization (now in Dungeon Family 2nd Generation),

i love kilo...but he is not a lyricist

oh yeah...RED Inc...i remember hard boyz...they was on ichiban and triad...used to fuck with breed

1st Of all It is Atlanta Based!!!

So luda's comedy rap does not count. Nor does Jeezy (although i like your music, shorty just claim your hood)he from Mac-town or nearby no matter who he knows in 4th ward.

So my list goes like this.

1. Tip(home team Westside Zone 1 Bankhead!!!)He said it himself, "there's only five niggas bustin out of atlanta and i'm one of them"
He gave life to trap muzik b4 jeezy could get a 100,000 in those sean john jeans.

2. Dre(although he has gone crazy since erika)sorry big boi you really from Sea port! but u claim it and i respect that. but back to dre true genius him and big boi continued to re-invent kast and rep Da A.

3.Killer Mike(Westside!!!) it's been said many times truely underrated.

4.Ceelo Goodie(even though he is no longer a goodie i guess)
like dre very grifted, but kinda wierd.

5.Damn i don't know troy my nig but he from augusta, it's so easy for me to stay westside and say fabo lol or someone from d4l or trapsquad but i'll do the right thing and stick them in honorable mentions. okay back to 5.

5.I guess Slimm Calhoun he is' "sitting on crome and rubberbands Slimm the South paw trigger man" Shit yall can throw who ever in this spot that is from Da "A". It is just so many people that aint really from here.

That's a good one top 5 that ain't from here that claim Da "A"

1.Luda(i only put him b4 big boi cause this list is kinda bad and i don't feel luda all the time)
2.Big Boi(see above)
3.Jeezy(sorry cuz but you probably couldn't tell me where georgia baptist hospital was and it is now Atlanta Medical Center on boulevard love the album though)
4.Troy(i fucks wit u though troy)
5.i guess jody breeze naw slick pull is better alot better. yeah slick pulla that's my final answer.

I do not understand nonthin you talkin bout on dis page maybe you needz 2 clarify some of the things you got on here cuz

1.Bow wow is not on the list for top summer hitz or some thing like that

2.that article on bow wow and ciara's first collabaration together im not understandin who wrote that and why they wrote that becuz 4 one I am bow wow #1 fan nomatter what any body say "period". anyway back to what i waz sayin i got bow wow c.d wanted and i love all of bow wow sondz on there starting from song #1:Big dreams #11:Mo money and all in between now bow wow is a hard workin man who makin all of the money he got so i don't think nobody should be commenting about his work in that kind of way unless you ciara, his momma, producer, or j.d and thats all i got to say. na put that on you page!

1).bow wow:his hole entire c.d is raw and i think bow wow has so much luv 4 ciara (wanted)

2).ciara: Oh (goodies)

3).missy elliot: lose control (cook book)

4).j.d: gotta get cha (young fly and flashy)

5).tierra marie: make her feel good. you give her her props cuz she new to this thing and her song iz a hit so i show love 4 her 2.

caliyah moss - ur an idiot... don't pollute this site with your bullshit please... how the fuck is tierra marie a lyricist...j.d.? bow wow? do u even know what "lyricist" means in hip hop lingo? damn!

1)scarface,one of the best
2)T.I.P,this a true nigga
3)Luda,comercial,but crazy
4)dre,not really feelin him ,but he so atl
5)jeezy,and then what bitch

damn i forgot about troy...much respect to him too. oh and p.s scarface is from Houston.

Aight let me say my top 5 cuz some of y'all is trippin with y'all lists... so first, i'll say my top 10 in no order, so that you know who i'm picking from:

Andre 3000, T.I., Killer Mike, Cee-lo, Khujo Goodie, Luda, Big Boi, Young Jeezy, Jody Breeze, and a guy you might have forgot about, Cool Breeze...

05. Cool Breeze - you gotta remember him. He killed it on "Slump" on Aquemini and on "Decatur Psalm" on ATLiens. Plus he was hot on the Dungeon Family cd and his own album was pretty good. It didn't sell much, but too many people wrote him off as another Big Boi or somethin but the boy was fire tho.

04. T.I. - Yeah he's #4. T.I. got some nice rhymes and he fiya a lot of times, but... he is NOT king of the south. The fact that he claims that after 3 albums is a little immature on his part. No one else whose put out more albums than him claims that. And to be honest with y'all... Lil Wayne is betta. Yeah, he is. T.I. got hard lines, but a lot of them flashy... generalized threats and shyt, but he nice tho...
03. Cee-Lo - Killed every verse for every song he ever did with somebody. Period. Plus his albums were straight.

02. Ludacris - Yeah, he's #2. Why? Cuz he just never, well, never just seem to spit that top lyrical game most people say he does to me. Like, yeah he's kinda commercial and he's a decent battle artist, but like he slacks a helluva lot sometimes. He has flashy rhymes, like his rhymes sound tight but most times he ain't really sayin nothin...

01. Andre 3000 - Listen to any Outkast CD. Period. Enuff said.

I know, I know where's Killer Mike? He's a close #6, very close #6, but Cool Breeze is just a lil nicer. And Big Boi is a very close 7, like 5-7 is almost basicially a tie. 8 is Jeezy, 9 is Khujo and 10 is Jody. Simple as that. That list is not the best, but it's the most consistent with how hard the artists came on their shyt. That's my 2 cents. Later y'all.

dre, big boi, luda, t.i. and cee-lo...its really that easy...killer mike is underrated, but he aint better than any of these five...coolbreeze also deserves an honorable mention, i'm glad someone else thought of him, his album was pretty tight and he ripped it on the dungeon fam album, and i like jeezy and boyz n da hood and what not, but anybody who would put him ahead of big boi, gimme a break, don't believe the hype! let your comments reflect at least a remote understanding of hip hop history and not just the flavor of the month

I really don't understand what some of you all are talking about. First the man asks about ATL BASED, not born and breed. Second, the man asks about LYRICIST, meaning A PERSON! NOT A GROUP! Third, lyricist alludes to the words of a song, not the music. Fourth, how good an mc is has nothing to do with whether he's commercial or underground, theres great and shitty mc's on both sides. Fifth, The man said top five, some of you just went on a "gotta show love" to every damn mc or group walking around the ATL, top five means just that, FIVE! Some of ya'll just carried the subject at hand way out of orbit. Someone said "T.I.P, this a true nigga", once again the subject is about lyrics, not somebody's street credibility.

Aight, first off, those mentioning Face, everyone knows Face is a legend period, but the thread is talkin bout ATL based rappers, so no, he would not be mentioned. With that being said I think that whoeva said that Young Jeezy wuz slightly below Killa Mike is insane. He shouldn't even be on this list. Umm...let me ask y'all trill ATLiens somn, now I'm from Mobile, AL but i think y'all missing someone folks and that's Polow from Jim Crow and y'all also missing Big Mello from P.A., y'all remember them dudes from them groups? I think one of them should hold down the number 5, not fuckin Young "Cheezy" as DMX called him on 106th & Park, LOL!!

Now I know ya'll haven't heard much from him lately, but if you've ever been around ARCHIE he is one of the tightest dudes in tha A. Only people in the industry and people who's hung around him to see knows this. He can freestyle off the top like no other. HE is stuck in a contract wit Phat Azz Mason so he can't really be heard right now. Yea Mason AKA Phatboy is hating so hard on his career. He basically has ruined a promising artist. Well my top five goes like this:
1)Andre 3000
2)Ceelo
3)TI
4)ARCHIE (TI is only ahead because of the success he's had, but I like Archie better!)
5)Killa Mike

in no particular order:

Big Boi
Killer Mike
T.I.
Dre
Cee-lo
NEXT UP, NO QUESTIONS ASKED:
AL GATOR...

Man fuck them A-town rappers. I love em but they shit aint as close as dem NY niggas. I don't know the top five Atl, but the five overall is
1 Jay-z
2 Busta Rhymes
3 Nas
4 Notorious BIG
5 DMX or Tupac
Not in Order

Man fuck them A-town rappers. I love em but they shit aint as close as dem NY niggas. but anyway
TI
LUDA
BIG BOI
THATS IT EVERY BODY ELSE SUCKZ.

Andre
T.I.
Luda
Witch Doctor (I think I saw one person mention him...that cd was good when i first heard it back in the day and its even nicer now)
Cee-lo

Honorable mentioned...just too many kats old and new who could fill this spot...i'd go with Troy or definately someone from Organized Noize/dungeon family/Attic Crew...that clique is just too deep and talented!!

I can't really name any new kats since they're just that, NEW...killa mike's been in a for few and he'd definately be on the list after his second album most likely, but i have to see the versatility first!

I don't know how he did it, but Jeezy seemed to just blow up over night, but he's making a name or himself. Just needs to stop sayin "Yeaaaaaaaaaa" and "Thaaaaats Riiiight" on every song!

I remember Jim Crow (loved the cut "Hot Wheels") and P.A. was pretty good too, had their first album also!!

How come no one mentioned Rasheeda...or is she even ATL based!!

Pac aint even a NY nigga...but you took your time to show your ignorance with that and how you can't comprehend titles!!! way to go killa!

On top of that, that NY shit aint even hot right now...Jay said it himself verbally and through his actions...kats know where its at right now and thats down south!!! Lace up ya beef and broccoli timbs "B" and be on ya way!

like greezythumb said before y all don't know what a lyricist is cause you would all know that young jeezy ain t one ....

HERE'S the official top 5 atl based lyricist

1-LUDACRIS cause you don t need to be a gangster to be a lyricist plus when is come to battle ....ask T.I (why do you think that he never respond and ask to be out over the stomp final remix ???) and finally luda is the most relevant lyricist over atl every one think of him when you speak of atlanta he did nt have the crunk shit to become the most succeful lyricist in atl

2- T.I (got to give him props)

3-Big Boi (why the fuck you niggas put dre before him cause big boi kill him lyrically and a bitch nigga relate dre lyrics from hey ya ...get the f....outta here)

heu bye the scarface ain t from atl

4-killer mike (officially the most under rated atl lyricist period)

5-Cee-Lo (funky lyricist with a style)

let me remind you something i am a hip hop connaisseur and luda would kill them hard please belivit

like we said in my slang chéké

I'm from Chicago, but here's my list for top 5 ATL MC's in no particular order:

Outkast

T-Rock

Ludacris

Killer Mike

TI

Aight heres my two cent

Dre 3000: Definently #1 in the A, in the top 10 alive

Luda: Dude has ridiculous amounts of lyrical skill, plus his flow is down right stupid

TI: King of the South, yes, brings a fresh sound to the game. What the doctor prescribed.

BIG Boi, regardless of what anybody says he might have been better than Dre on SouternPlayalistic. Dude still be killin it, its just his flow is different, but in a good way. Sometimes he says fuck the beat and just does him.

Killa Mike: his first album was hot if you ask me. Bubbling from the bowels of hell

Thats my top 5

Dre from outkast way betta than Big Boi (no disrespect)when it come to lyrics.
3-5-7 to yo fo'head there'll be mo' dead,cause I'm a pro ked but lawd forgive me I got to keep my milli right b'near me my 9 be doin fine until these niccas want to run me off my street but in my hood hood they hollerin' ghetto aint got no neighbors they hit the pipe and never let go but I feel for them like Chaka Kahn feel for u aint shit that we can do but rest in peace pour out brew on the concrete remember when we ran deep remember at them parties where we served them bitches dandy they know not to test us test me do me try me trippin wit that drama my Berretta's right beside me 1 is in the air 1 is in the chamber yall ask me what the fuc I'm doin I'm releasing anger quik to dodge danger I'm takin it 1 day at a time I got fattest rhymes around my way u can sway wit Andre ;Aint no thang but a chicken wing

I dont think you can seperate Big Boi and Dre just cuz one double album. Would you seperate BunB and Pimp C? Maybe cuz Pimp doin a stretch and got a solo joint and Bun doin all these features. So you evaluate them as MCs seperately, but their impact is greater when combined. Its no comparison b/t solo and group, really. Just like Ball and G, group trumps solo. With that said, heres my list:

1.) Outkast-They brought the national light to the A in the first place, in the midst of the West-East beef, nonetheless. And the lyrics and countless classic albums and singles say the rest.

2.) T.I.-With the way the music works, T.I. just now hittin his prime, and Outkast not really in decline but the relevance of their newer music to their original core audience(the streets)waning, I could have easily got excited and put Tip first. And honestly, to me, he is the greatest lyricist and hes a solo artist. But I give homage to the legends. So TI and Outkast is like 1a and 1b.

3.) Luda-Yea, he "stomped" TI when shit hit the fan, but he doesnt always come that hard. But thats okay, cuz Luda is the jester of the south. While he could afford to do so more often, it makes it all the more gratifying when he DOES come hard.

4.) Cee-Lo- Listen to "In Da Wind" wit Trick Daddy and Big Boi, then try to argue against this one.

5.) Killer Mike- First round pick like Micheal Vick.

Honorable Mention-Lil Scrappy

And these dudes like Cee-Lo, Luda, and Killer betta watch out, cuz these dudes comin for that number one spot. And they aint gotta be from the "A" parse, but as long as you let mufuckas know where you REALLY from and you still get love and rep the "A", then you are the "A", long as you from GA. I stay in NC now, but Im from Boston Homes in Marietta and I make sure everybody know it, but I still rep A-Town. Gucci Mane, you from Alabama, stop reppin the A!! So heres the future:

Stat Quo, Bo Hagon, Jody Breeze, Young Jeezy, and I aint heard him spit yet, but I heard good shit bout Al Gator

i'ma tell yall straigh up. i aint gonna do no top 5, its gonna b top 3.

1. Andre 3000- simply b/c yall seem to b forgetting the southernplayalistic and ATLiens days. LISTEN to both those albums alone and tell me he dont deserve to b number 1. thats all i need to say. oh yea and jus for yall to kno how far ahead outkast really is, they made that hey ya junk in like 2001, but if they woulda brought it out back then it wouldnt have been as much as a hit as it was in 2003.

2. Luda- dog if luda aint on anyones top 3 then somethin is wrong. granted he aint put no straight up street shit out but it dont matter. in EVERY song on his albums he has said some funny punchlines. and yall gotta realize that he is NOT serious wit any of his rhymes. the closest he's been so far to being just a little bit serious is on stomp. and every body knos that after that stomp track, T.I. left him alone and went on to lil flip who is no where near the level of luda. and dont even get me started on the units luda has sold. he is happy rappin like he is. he is a very creative dude and that stomp shit was a taste of his battle creativity.

3. T.I. - dude has stepped his game up tremendously. i'm one of the few people who has his first album. and let me tell u, from then till now he has gotten so much better. and jus b/c he was like 19 when it came out dont mean nothin cuz lil wayne was cold when he was 19. when trap muzik came out i really didnt kno if i wanted it b/c of the 1st one but after hearing it, i realized that dude has a LOT of potential. i'm convinced that when dude gets older, he will be a top 10 best. up there wit the legends.

honorables: lil' scrappy, pastor troy(HIGHLY underrated), young jezzy, killer mike, cee-lo, jody breeze(dude aint from the A but he is from georgia and dude is fire).

i give straight facts.

50 cent is the best so who cares

I'm from NC but ATL really put the south on the map. I know the big-booty bass music from Miami was out before ATL blew up; but that doesn't count. Anyway here's my list:

1. Andre 3000-all i have to say is remember this: "trying to outdo the last verse i burst that is my curse." if that ain't lyricism, i don't know what is.
2. Big Boi-he's the yin to Dre's yang. Big's lyrics are more reality-based and he's not seen as lyrical. Like he said:"i don't freestyle, but i can write a verse to kill your whole album." Remember, "can't gamble feeding baby on that dope money, might not always be sufficient."
3. Killer Mike-killa killa is educated and lyrical. he can make you see exactly what he is rapping about. he is definitely slept on. get his mixtape and listen to his dungeon family tribute over the aquemini beat. it's the truth. also listen to the freestyle over the Cupid beat. nothing but fire and lyricism at the same time over a R&B beat.
4. Luda-yeah, he's animated but everyone didn't sell drugs and kill bunch of people. all his albums are good and not one person can knock it. if you want to hear some of Luda on a non-animated tip, listen to Stomp and the Damn remix.
5.Cee-Lo-he brings the strength of a pit bull lyrically with the presence of a pastor. i haven't heard a verse he's spit and didn't like it. listen to his verse on Cell Therapy. it's reality. that's what lyricism is all about.

i know ti and jeezy should be up there. ti is definitely number 6. not because of what he's done recently, but because of I'm Serious. that album was slept on and noone looked at him like that until rubberband man and 24s came out. i know there are alot of underground cats in the A. i'm giving a list from what i've heard. the whole dungeon family, field mob, pastor troy, and all the other mcs i forgot to mention are all tight. also, take notice how the artists in the A are collaborating with each other. everyone seems to be trying to bring this movement as far as it will go. all in all, none of this would be possible without outkast. oh yeah, don't be putting ny mcs on the list. stick to the question at hand.

YOU GUYS R ALL STRAIGHT TRIIPIN. ONLY YOU GUYS COULD TURN A SIMPLE QUESTION INTO SHIT LIKE THIS. GOD DAMN. ITS A SIMPLE N EASY QUESTION. thE AUTHOR SAID Below is my list of top 5 Atlanta-based solo lyricists. WHICH MEANS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A RAPPER IT CAN BE ANY SINGER/RAPPER/MC THATS FROM OR LIVES AROUND ATLANTA. YALL CANT FORGET THE EARLY DAYS OF RNB AND HIP HOP. SO WHATSHER NAME CAN SAY CIARA, WHATS HIS NAME CAN SAY DRE, AND WHOEVER ELSE CAN SAY WHOEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT. I HATE COMIN ON ALL THESE POSTS AND NO MATTER WHAT, YOU ALL BITCH AT EACH OTHER.
A LYRICIST IS SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY WRITES THERE OWN MUSIC. DOESN;T STEAL IT FROM OTHERS LIKE BOW WOW AND CIARA DO, AND DOESN'T NEED NO GHOST RIDERS. HONESTLY I DONT THINK THERES GREAT LYRICISTS IN THE A-TOWN. THERES SOME GOOD ONES BUT NOT GREAT.

1)LUDA HAS BEEN HOLDIN IT DOWN FOR AWHILE BUT HE HAS GONE A LITTLE COMMERCIAL FOR ME.
2)I REALLY LIKE YOUNG JEEZY AND IF HE COULD JUST STOP THIS GANGSTA GARBAGE HED BE SET.

Ludacris Lil wayne t.i. jeezy man luda has a style that no nigga can fuck with Lil wayne is so sick in freestyling he is the next jay z Luda will battle anybody anytime oh yeah field mob is with Disturbing tha peace

Outkast and Goodie MOB freshest music out of Atlanta, Young Cheezy is not even close to being a lyricist, Luda is dope but he is from Chicago, TI is on the come up I definately respect his abilities but other than that I can't call it...

SCARFACE always has and always be from HOUSTON TEXAS born and raised don't ever forget that youngstas

whaaaaat???? Feild mob iz on DTP now??? to all da real niccaz dats like 2pac goin' to deathrow!! DTP will be strong now.

T-Rock Nobody metion him he's better than most these people.He used to be with 3-6 Mafia.

Yall keep saying these niggas from here and these niggas from their. Who you know? And plus, if a nigga moved from Arizona to NY when he was 4 yrs. old and the nigga 25 now, the nigga from NY.

Didnt Luda move to the A when he was a young kid?

Hell I was born and raised in one hood but live the last 12 years of my life in another one and thats the one I rep.

So get off this he aint from the A shit. Yall A town niggas need to call these catz out who never lived in the A and repping it. But if a nigga lived and ran the street with A town niggas, let him rep. My cousin from NC but rep Marietta/A town all day. No disrespect to me at all. He been there since he was was 10.

But my top 4....

Dre
Luda
TI
Cee Lo

*Big Boi, Pastor Troy, Killa Mike fight for #5.

Jeezy my nigga but he gansta wit it. Not lyrical! A nigga can be hot but not lyrical. His shit in my car right now and been there since it came out in stores (had the boot leg also).

Separate "what you like to hear" from "lyrical". Please!

My top Five:
1) Pastor Troy- Did you hear vica/versa (cant spell)nuff said

2)Dre- nuff said

3)TIP- i'm serious

4) Killa Mike

5)Luda- past all the booty shaking and fantasies dude can spit

Honorable metion- Scrappy, jody breeze

Now whoever said Bow wow was a lyricist need to stop taking the whitney Houston appraoch to life.
nor is ciara a lyricist. Forgive me if I'm mistaken but don't you have to say something more than just puppy love, partying,and I love gurl to be a lyricist.

And 50 cent is not the best he's not even the best in g-unit he's like ..... last :0)

did some say bow wow gets an honurable metion for being 1 of the greatest atl "lyricists".
plus stat quo is the sh!t it dont matter if he cant rock his hometown. he still a crazy lyricists.

terrell you confused dawg!!

1. Andre 3000

2. Ludacris

3. Cee-Lo

4. T.I.

5. Killer Mike

did some say bow wow gets an honurable metion for being 1 of the greatest atl "lyricists".
plus stat quo is ill. it dont matter if he cant rock his hometown. he still a crazy lyricist.

terrell you confused, dawg!!

Bow Wow is consistent though, you would have to give him credit for just selling gold for the past 7 years. I'd have to put Big Boi in the top 5 somewhere but anybody could be honorable mention.

Considering that a lot of the newer atlanta rappers are biting that memphis style my top rappers are as follows

1. Dj paul

2. Juicy j

3. 8 ball & mjg

4. Yo gotti

5.. Don Diggalo

I love the A but lets be 4real, these new niggas is making it off of the OLD MEMPHIS style rap, biting slang, hooks, and production.... OUTKAST is definitely the truth outta ATL as well as T.I..

3)LUDACRIS
4)CEE-LO
5)BIG-BOI
P.S.
6)KILLA MIKE

THis the list, fuck what cha heard~! GRAND HU$TLE, PIMP!

Top 5 here it goes

5- Pastor Troy
I'm from the bronx and I know Troy be putting the A on fire. Listen to visa/versa and should I remind yall about we ready? Recently he fell of that's why he is so low on the list.

4- Ludacris
Consistant, only been in the game for about 5 years and is a household name. Wordplay and punchlines all day. If this nicca can be serious for one second he can rise on the list.

3- Cee lo
Peep this, every single track he is on, his words you listen to, his high pitched airy voice is crack, stood out the whole goodie mobb. His albums were garbage and became a weird nicca.

2- T.I
What more can I say?

1- Andrea 3000
Spit slow, fast, versitle. You can't mess wit him. If he can come back down to earth we can here more verses. He sings, he's different. Evolves himself every year. He shits on big boi.

Killer Mike is garbage, Scarface is from atlanta? He's garbage and over rated. Who else? Jody breeze has no material so how is he even considered. Listen jeezy fire but he doesn't have material, what's hot now may not be hot later, a buzz can't get you on the top 5. F*ck killer mike, any one of the dudes from field mobb will shit on him.

I agree with Nickels and Kash list, but I would have to put T.I.P on the top of the list, his new shit is soo crazzzy! People you need to look out for Jody Breeze check out his mixcd, Young Jeezy is spitting real shit, Mac Boney of the P$C he has crazy lyrics, also Dro of Grand Hustle he is sick with it, and Bo Hagon yall sleeping on him, he is going to hot. Lil Scrappy has to swallow the spit in his mouth before he gets on the mic. Oh yeah Slick Pulla is nice too.

Also, T.I.P will be always better than Luda, the only reason why he didn't respond to that song "Stomped" his b/c Luda ran quickly to Tip to apologize before he could respond diss record to him.

be on the lookout for purplesmoke music/atls own THE A TEEM YA HEARD!!!!!!!!!

Jeezy is Garbage, this is the same dude who satrts his verse out "patty cake, patty cake, microwave"! Please duke step ya rap game up.

Luda is nice lyrically he killed the stomp remix, damn remix, blow it out ya ass dude ripped that song. I honestly think he could hold his own in a battle against Nas or Jay. and Jay's my fav mc!
nuff said

yo Mahogany are you crazy ?? TIP is the one who apalogy to ludacris ludacris is not a .beef nigga. but he definetly gonna kill TIP on every point TIP even said with is one mouth that he want to work with ludacris luda ain t never tell these type of shit

the canopy day bed

It was Andre 3K, not Big Boi, that said he can't freestyle, but can write one verse that can kill your whole album...

And I believe it...

T-Rock doesnt get mentioned cause a lot of kats don't really know about him....i know he from tha A and was signed with hypnotized minds or some sh!t...he WAS associated with triple 6...but its like, where is he now. I only rememeber him being featured in songs and that verse you quoted was hot, thats why i guess i remember it

First of all, SCARFACE IS FROM HOUSTON YOU IDIOTS!!!!
1.TI
2.OUTCAST(as a whole)
3.LUDA
4.PASTOR TROY(Dont fuck wit G.A.)

P.S.:NO Ciara,J.D.,Young Cheezy

1 - Andre 3000
2 - "Da muthafuckin King" TI
3 - Goodie Mob
4 - Stat Quo
5 - Ludacris
Luda's not really from da A, but he's been down here 4 so long dat dis has become hiz rootz, and oh yeah "Stomp was originally TI, YB, and Lil Jon song, after hearing wut TI said Luda dissed him on da stomp produced by 3'6 mafia, but wut yall don't seem 2 realize iz it took luda 2 months 2 respond, and TI did respond on Da Down With Da King Mixtape on Jackin For Beats

TO THE IDIOT THAT PUT T.I BEFORE OUTKAST YOU MUST BE SMOKING SOME POWERFUL S**T.
The kings forever and always. I LOVE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE COOL AND CALM (SORT OF REMINDS ME OF JAY-Z) THEY KNOW AND WE KNOW THAT THEY CAN KILL ANYBODY AROUND SO ALL YA'LL FAKE RAPPERS TRYING TO ADVANCE IT'S ALL OVER TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.
1. OUTKAST (UNTIL THEY CLOSE THE CURTAIN)
2,3,4,5 AND NOW EVERYBODY ELSE YA'LL PUT EM' IN ORDER.

RED Inc., U r absolutely correct. If you dont know about the HARD BOYZ, ur not from ATL & lame as hell. Ima GRADY BABY, an orginal GA Peach and I dont care if the artist is born here or not. If they were here for every Freak Nic & went to Clubs 559, 112, 617, 731, Lamp Post XS or Illusions, ur good with me.

And as far as T.I. no one was reppin BANKHEAD b4 him. I know he went 2 Grove Park Elem, off Bankhead. The real Gangsta hood so if he left at a young age so be it...u grow up fast on that side of town. Keep up the PIMPING, TIP, PSC.

Who everyone is slippin on is "GUCCI MANE." His CD is "HOT" he has a raw Dec style that Atlaliens can really feel if we can look pass that HATER, JEEZY!

Oh yall slipped again on GOODIE MOB! These boys was tooo real wit it and toooo gangsta. I think they deserve waaaayyy more credit than they recieve. I love OUTKAST AND THE DUNGEON FAMILY! I heard that the HARD BOYZ r workin on an album now. I cant WAIT!!!!

luda by far no doubt is da best tip sucks balls and jeezy is only as good as his beat lately cee-lo is too annoying jody breeze is also real nice and anything old skool outkast is sweet as hell
