Your 10 favorite dirty south albums

[Yohan]

Topic says it all. Name your favorite 10 dirty south albums. Of all time, no boundaries, just name 'em. I'm interested to see which way some of you lean. Also wondering if there's anything I've missed.

[vaporized2]

8Ball & MJG - On Top Of The World
D.E.A. - Screwed For Life
Botany Boyz - Thought Of Many Wayz
Lil' O - My Struggle, My Hustle
Lil' Keke - Don't Mess With Texas
Goodie Mob - Soul Food
ESG - Shinin & Grindin
Fat Pat - Ghetto Dreams
Mista Madd Presents: Supa Thugz
MJG - No More Glory

maybe it's heresy not to include any Outkast or UGK in a list like this, but I don't really listen to them much. probably go for Southernplayalistic... and Too Hard To Swallow if I had to include an album by each one.

Lil' Keke - Don't Mess With Texas
Goodie Mob - Soul Food

This is a solid list. I'd have to go with the following:

Big Tymers - I Got That Work
Goodie Mob - Soul Food
Z-Ro - The Life of Joseph W. McVey
UGK - Super Tight
UGK - Ridin' Dirty
Devin the Dude - The Dude
Dungeon Family - Even in Darkness
Scarface - The Diary


This list would definitely change depending on the day; these are just the first 10 that came to mind.

Can we stop using the term "Dirty" South?

Scarface- The Diary
UGK- Ridin Dirty
Paul Wall & Chamillionaire- Get Ya Mind Correct
Ghetto Mafia- Straight From The Dec
Master P- The Ghettos Tryin To Kill Me
Lil Wayne- Carter II
D4L- D4L
Project Pat- Ghetty Green
Slim Thug & ESG- Boss Hog Outlaws
Soulja Slim- Years Later

... or something like that.

UGK - Ridin' Dirty
Mystikal - Mind of Mystikal

I think it was catfish who called Ugly Mane's album a classic earlier in the year, and I didn't immediately agree, but as much as liked the album when I first heard it, I like it even more now that I've been listening to it all year. That being said, I'll be the first to admit that I haven't listened to nearly enough southern hip-hop. Working on fixing that.

Evil Pimp - Witness Your Murder
Lil Ugly Mane - Mista Thug Isolation

Maybe instead of the Blac Monks album...

[blastmaster]

If you put mystic styles above chapter 2 you are missing the point.

I like Ghetty Green better than every 3-6 album I've heard.

Me too.

[Career Over Like Mike(NJJ)]

On one hand, The Ghettos Tryin To Kill Me should be disqualified from being classified as a southern album since it's one of the definitive releases from the Richmond, C.A era and was pre-Beats By The Pound.

On the other hand, you can probably make a case for the King George and Rev. Do Wrong-less 1997 reissue with new tracks being a southern classic just off Always Look A Man In The Eyes alone.

[Rachel Hobozal]

Kingpin Skinny Pimp's 'King Of Da Playaz Ball' deserves a mention. I'll make a list later though.

[artMajor]

[blastmaster]

Huh? Unless I've been crazy all these years and these guys are from Oakland, Mississippi you are silly.

[GUCCI CONDOMS]
