Over the years I've had a strange relationship with Southern hip hop. Despite my southern roots, I've never really had a real connection with southern hip hop. So when my friends were crowning Master P and the Hot Boys as the "hardest" in the game, I was entrenched in east hip hop somewhere lost between Enter the 36 Chambers and Reasonable Doubt. But no matter how much I resisted, when you're the only one in a car packed with teenagers that wants to listen to Illmatic instead of Mr. Ice Cream Man, there's nothing you can really do. So whether I liked it or not, I was forced to listen to Comin' out Hard, Get It How You Live, and whatever else was corrupting our young minds. Eventually I got used to it and actually began liking it to an extent. One of my favorites just happened to be Master P's Ghetto D. Apparently P is trying to relive his former years when No Limit released a new album every week and he was actually a relevant member of the game by re-releasing this hood classic. Since I've been in a list making mood, I'd figured I would round up my top 5 favorite southern classics.
1. Juvenile - 400 Degreez
2. Eightball and MJG - Comin' Out Hard
3. Scarface - Last of a Dying Breed
4. Big Tymers - I Got That Work
5. Master P - Ghetto D
