Yep, I remember when this came out.. I really liked it then- good road trip music.

Yes!!!

Solid line up! I would add Soulja Slim to the mix. But UGK was one of my first favorite rap duos. I wrote my reaserch paper on the real messages of hip hop and how it deals with Class Criticism, and got the highest grade in my class. I used this song by Bun B to make most of my points.

Hey there. That sounds like a great creative topic for an English paper!
You're right that UGK is (was, RIP Pimp C) so good.

I love the sound of southern rap the loose vibe the driving bass the nonchalant implied and explicit depictions of the lifestyle..

I won't lie I bump "every day I'm hustling"on occasion when I'm working in my garden..

But..

I do feel a lot of these guys use the regional accent as a crutch..


"Thang" is an abomination ... there are plenty of other real words that rhyme with "hang" or "gang" ..rant over.

Side note ..

Check out "Nathan Jarvis slackjaw"on YouTube for some north country flow

I always preferred my music DEEP SOUTH, and if you hit the club in my days, this what was making it live!





Look at these young ass mofos!



He may be Mister International, but this was the first time I EVER heard Pitbull about a decade ago. You can go further South than Miami!

Everyone did a version of this at some point with their friends on the block!


Damn, those were some fun years. Thanks OP and everybody, got me some nice nostalgia to the good ol days.

Haha, hell yeah!

This my fav Cham song.



love that beat

The south definitely represents in the rap game. I don't dig these mumble rappers like the migos and Kodak black and them. You get a star and a flag. Cheers!

a reply to: Lysergic
Yea, thats a really good one. My favorite was Ridin Dirty.

I never knew much about these guys, but I remember a few times in Middle School wed be like "hey back back! back back!" in some scuffles. It stayed in use for a few years.


This one was on the radio for while pretty much the last year I was regularly going to the clubs. I think like 08 or 09 or something.

I made alot of mix tapes with these three back to back, especially when we would go to the beach with everybody.


Im still going through the first page! Lots of classics in here.

The lyrics for this one are very appropriate to ATS and CT in general. I remember this beat, but I never heard the song. It was always on somebodies freestyle track, and I don't blame them. Very nice beat to flow to.

I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned Nappy Roots or Arrested Development yet! I would embed some videos, I just dont know the code. S&F.

Got it!!!

Nice, thank you all for posting more deep South cuts that I missed!
There is some great music in this thread.

a reply to: worldstarcountry

I agree, the lyrics are perfect ATS material

Another great by Goodie Mob:

Face's first single! Released in '89.
