Word of Mouf is his best in my opinion. But with that being said, he has an iconic discography for sure. His first 4 albums are absolute gems to me. #SouthernLegend
Man I grew up bumping this on my CD player sitting on a green hotbox in the hood, back in fl...I’m here in 2021 in my White Cadillac CTS banging this classic still. I feel I came along ways hearing this song
I had a black on black Lincoln 2002 LS when this junt debuted. I’m still bangin now in my 2021 Camry wit the roof open…. Yeah we have come a long way bruh and still here to enjoy and live life.
This is one of those songs where the usage of the sample is so perfect (to me at least) that I avoid even thinking about trying to sample it. I'm always gonna hear how DJ Paul & Juicy J flipped it, as well as how great Luda's verses are.
@@dabee4971 wrong answer.. He wanted to clean up and do acting. Cause oparah was shitting on him about the first movie he was in.. Do your research before u talk... How u know he matured? I dont remember the time is was immature?
@VV he’s really not. I honestly kind of forgot about him for like 10 years and I just revisited one of his songs last week and can’t keep finding more of his songs. He was creative as hell
I miss my teen days in the early 2000s already. I miss the old Ludacris, as well as the dirty South. Atlanta Georgia truly ruled the rap game back in those days...😎
LUDACRIS YOU KNOW YOU BAD AND YOU TOE THAT UP I LOVE IT. I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD STILL BREAKOUT REAL AND DO IT AGAIN. WILLIAM DEVAUGHN STARTED SOME """"" IVE SEEN YOU FEW TIMES HALLOFFAME PLATE FOR AND OTHER THINGS. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING YOU MADE IT.😂😂
I remember my friends told me Ludacris was corny back then. I'm not hearing none of that, he was Ab-Soul's favorite artist growing up. This is the song that brought me to Luda waaaay back in 04. Nothing but good memories with this song.
This makes me reminisce back to summer 2004 and I got my first summer job and could finally buy new clothes and look like my favorite rappers Ludacris was one. I love his fashion he's so unique. I felt like Hip Hop. Great video 👍👍
PLEASE Y'ALL, no more Curtis Mayfield mentions. Curtis NEVER sang the original song. Forget that fake video with Curtis in the yellow suit. The song is by *William DeVaughn,* and the correct title is *"Be Thankful for What You Got".* Not "Diamond in the Back".
This song always makes me feel so grateful to have grown up during this time in hip hop. The youngins today really did miss out on the golden age and it shows today with what they call rap/ hip hop. Lastly shout out to DJ Paul & Juicy J. “Smoked out, loced out riding with the pistol gripped”. They don’t get the credit they deserves and not just them but all the members of Hypnotized Minds/ Camp Posse. Love you Luda.
I really love how the south supported each other when it came to music,thats why the south is so powerful because they stick together rather then hating,everybody eats B 💯
Luda this shhh really cutting up that slurish southern beat mane talk about cool Kool laid all way back music we well me I love it like MickeyD's im loving it😊😊
DJ Paul & Juicy J (Memphis) are the most slept on producers/beat makers of all time this beat still go hard 21 years later
I’d counter with Wildstyle from Crucial Conflict. He’s got a lot on unsung gems out there.
@@thatboybear yea wildstyle a different breed the way he took the rodeo sound and made it gangsta was crazy.
💯
This Song Hits Harder Now Then It Back Then
Miss Rap songs like this, it’s 2024 and this forever will be classic ❗️
Luda is a legend. His catalog is slept on and this joint here is a classic!!
the most underrated luda single, EVER...that organ & bass line is a vibe
This shit jammin
Organ , wah guitar and bass line is Dirty south
Thanks to DJ Paul and Juicy J… it’s that Memphis sound
The William DeVaughan sample is amazing
This is the LUDA I remember. Till this day “CHICKEN & BEER” is his best album he's ever dropped!
Marcoldies12
Hell yeah
Marcoldies12 don't sleep on theatre of the mind
Have you really listened to word of mouf? Shits on this album every day.
bro word of mouf is golden
Word of Mouf is his best in my opinion. But with that being said, he has an iconic discography for sure. His first 4 albums are absolute gems to me. #SouthernLegend
This joint is such a vibe
This is one of my favorite songs for the summer. Still sounds good today 👌🏾
Shout out to the Mo Better Blues intro. A perennial classic.
One of the coolest songs to ever come out
DJ PAUL & JUICY J JOINTS BE🔥🔥🔥🔥
Underrated Luda joint rite here!

I wish rap was this soulfull today. Nothing sounds like this great story telling. Luda got you feeling good about being black love it.
Big Krit says hello

@@juliogoltv2209 thats cuz us Mexicans got it like black ppl too
Be Thankful for What You Got. ...William Devaughn
He brought me here haha. I forgot how Luda used the original track.
Songs like this make you realize how underrated Luda really was

Hey now ❤
Miss u boo, come thru
I’m 90 but hey 💕💕✨
And 90’s babies

Luda’s best song hands down.
This is one of those songs where the usage of the sample is so perfect (to me at least) that I avoid even thinking about trying to sample it. I'm always gonna hear how DJ Paul & Juicy J flipped it, as well as how great Luda's verses are.
This joint deserved more recognition 🔥🔥
@aplusk
My absolute favorite song of his. DJ Paul and Juicy J were some cold producers.
Dj Paul is 1 of the best southern producer,this beat hot 🔥 as shit
Rza, dj premier, alchemist, dj Paul, I can go on
The Greatest ever!
Best to ever do it bro
According to Juicy J, this is his track. Paul wasn't actually involved on this one.
Coming through in 2024 for some nostalgic remedy
True southern classic 🔥💯
Classic I miss the old Ludacris
+Northboy Rell he matured
Northboy Rell yea this one
evo -love
People slept on dis for sum reason

Reminiscing of the good old times
Love this song man... ludacris don't care what people say. Ludacris is in my top 5 of all time
@VV he’s really not. I honestly kind of forgot about him for like 10 years and I just revisited one of his songs last week and can’t keep finding more of his songs. He was creative as hell
It's not even Good (Considering Dre used those samples first, and Ludacris had to slow them down so Dre wouldn't sue him.
This is amazing! Ludacris is 💥💥💥! I love this song and his version is absolutely dope.❤
If someone's talking smack about Ludacris, you gotta ditch em. He's super talented. The complainers clearly have poor taste in music. Buh-bye.
Luda hugely underrated
When i got his album, I played the HELL out of this song! Still one of my favs from Luda amongst others 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I miss my teen days in the early 2000s already. I miss the old Ludacris, as well as the dirty South. Atlanta Georgia truly ruled the rap game back in those days...😎
😎
Who All Still Listening To This Song In 2024 ?

I was 10 years old rockin to this on BET Rap City🔥.. music was good back then
Music with a message
So many legends in this video... great vibes. Miss this music,
An ambitious Ludacris.
After enough plays, you can only imagine how many times he’s said “I wanna” as an affirmation.
Luda is so underrated man the flow just smooth
Man, times was different.
This makes me reminisce back to summer 2004 and I got my first summer job and could finally buy new clothes and look like my favorite rappers Ludacris was one. I love his fashion he's so unique. I felt like Hip Hop. Great video 👍👍
This got me through high school. I love Luda.
Love the beat... still listening to the original. Another good one is I Do it For Hip-Hop.
Man niggas gotta put respect on this man name one of the best rapperrs with lyrics bars out the south hes at least top ten of all
Time
Its 2023 and this still feels brand new 🙏 real music
Yes, indeed!
Listening in July 2021. Love this but grew with the original.
I really enjoyed what Ludacris did to enhance a classic
His most underrated song
No, as far as singles, I have to give it to "Slap."
This song was not underrated it was always on the radio whoot whoot
V years late but don't sleep on "Child of the night"
Hard Times was good

The PLEASE Y'ALL text in the auto comment highlight made me find this 10/10 agree

I forgot this song. I'm glad that it came back on my feed.
Bumping this in Seattle cruise
Just Achieving My Dreams
Thank God
I grew up to this music. Miss it so much. The new trash that’s called “rap” really goes further to show how talented artists like Ludacris were.
That's real talk. I looked up this song (one of my fav as a kid) just because me and my friend were talking about how under rated luda was
oh stop acting like the 2000s didnt have trash songs to
This will for ever be my jam who's still vibeing listen like me LOVE IT❤️❤️❤️
"It's hard growing up lookn at drug dealers with all this paper wonderin how I can get me some"...
