I remember seeing Ludacris in concert for the first time back in 2003. He was free styling over legendary beats, combining his super flow with eminent beats. He paid homage to the greats before him but created his own sound and platform to pave his own way into greatness. 6 number one singles later, Luda releases his much anticipated mixtape 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The First Time.
I must say after listening to this mixtape, there was no doubt in my mind that Luda was back, and as he puts it, to the first time. His crazy flow, which he is so well known for, is a mix of precise diction and delivery, filled with ridiculous punch lines. His target this time? None other than G.O.O.D Music artist Big Sean. Recently, rapper Drake accredits Big Sean for creating the 'supa flow' style of rap. Yes, the same flow Luda has been doing for over a decade now. Here's what Luda had to say in Bada Boom, track 6 from the mix tape.
“Counterfeit rappers say I’m stealing they flows / But I can’t steal what you never made up, b*tch! / Y’all some duplicate rap cloning n***as / I manufacture you hoes put on your makeup, b*tch!” he raps. “Let me explain, nothing’s been new since Big Daddy Kane / Flows been recycled passed around to different names. “Eleven years and still counting / And y’all get a couple of hit records, make some noise and have the nerve to start shouting?” he continues. “You lyin’ to yaself, just admit it / May not like the way I used it, but you know you ain’t invent it, boy / Do your research before you make a claim so bogus that’s
disrespecting pioneers in the game.”
