KD “Bitchez, Weed, & Money (Tribute 2 Pimp C)
Blvdst.com wouldn’t be complete without paying tribute to the father of country rap tunes, Mr. Chad Butler. Dec. 4, 2009 marks the two year anniversary of his untimely death. Pimp C was one of the biggest influencez for KD and the whole South. CHUUUUUUUCH!! We miss u Pimp.
Atlanta OGz Nino & Wicked dropped classic material throughout the mid-90′z. From their debut album “Draw The Line” in ‘94, to the latest ten years later, 2004’s “Da Return of The Ghetto Mafia” they have dropped consistent street classics. They gained the most success from 1998’s “On Da Grind” album which featured the hit single “In Decatur”. Nino & Wicked represented the A-Town unlike any other rappers I have heard. Even though they lacked the mainstream commercial success that many other ATL rappers have experienced, they kept 100% street to the core. Real Southern Niggaz appreciate that.

I was told we was in a drought for some good ole country rap tunes so I thought I’d take it upon myself to bless my fellow Streeters wit some slept on bump from earlier in the year. Niggas who familiar with Dirty already hip to their Blakklown movement, so if your a fan Im sure you’ve heard of lil mario. Hes now going by Baby Pacino and dropped a bangin ass tape titled “My Generation” earlier this year. This was the standout track IMO, some bluesy feeling real talk type of shit featuring fellow Blakklownian Burn One(Not to be confused with Burn One of this site) This shit is jammin as hell. As always, click pic to download.
DOWNLOAD: Crooked Lettaz-Grey Skies
Before David Banner put Mississippi on his back and on the hip hop map, he and his partner in rhyme Kamikaze did it with thiz classik southern LP. IMO, this is one of the most underrated and slept on albumz of all time. The 1999 album features guest appearances from Pimp C and Noreaga. This album was groundbreaking because Crooked Lettaz was one of the few Southern “conscience” rappers. They spit thought provoking lines, instead of your gangsta, dope, pimp tales, typical southern rap subject matter. One uv KD’z most influential albumz.
Pimp C-My Angel
Bun B says thiz iz his favorite song Pimp C ever did. Thiz iz also one of my favorites off of The Sweet James Jones Stories. Thiz 4 all tha mother’z out there on Mother’z Day. Chuuuuuuuuuuuch!
Video-Swangin’ & Bangin’
One of the fist rappers to popularize the screw movement was E.S.G.(Everyday Street Gangsta). He was a bonafine star in Texas right alongside UGK, Scarface, Lil’ Keke, & Fat Pat. He released classic albums Ocean of Funk, Sailin’ Da South, in 1994 and 1995 respectively. However, he was sentence to prison in 1995, after which his career declined. He also, wrote Lil’ Troy’s hit “Wanna Be A Baller”, which he claims he never recieved credit for.
A classic joint from KD himself from “The Last Man Standing”. Before theze fad, fruity niggaz called polo and nikes futuristic and blacc boi whyte boi swag, etc., KD kept it G. I been wearing polo since middle skool bitch. The song features a sample from Lil Keke’s “The Southside”, and a soul sample from Temptation member and Birmingham, AL native, Dennis Edwards. By the way, KD iz actually sitting heavy n the chevy, breaking conkrete, Polo on my body and nikes on my feet in the picture. So TRILL.
Lil Keke tha don said it was not just 4 tha Southside of H-Town, but tha whole south. I remember jammin’ 2 tha remix with 8Ball on it, which elevated it to classik status. Real, trill country rap tunes
Lil’ Keke-Southside
Just hitt’n yall boys off with some of that smooth ridin’ shit to start’cha Sprang off right…The Corleone Family were a collective of niggas from Memphis TN with roots in Jackson Mississippi as well. I believe most of their production was done in-house. These two tracks are from their 1997 album, “Amerikkkas Worst Nightmare,” which was pretty solid all-around. Give’m a listen and let me know what you think

DOWNLOAD: Bohagon & Playboy Tre ft. Loony T - Every Playa
This was my shiiiit! It was off the solid GA Durt compilation that dropped in 2005. All 3 of them come hard and sound official on top of the vintage country rap tunes beat. I’d take hagon on this type of beat any day over that jon stuff.
This song changed my life. I’m not sure exactly how but I felt different about the world after I heard it for the first time. From the Lamont Dozier sample (The Inspiration coming soon) to Andre rapping his motherfucking ass off, this record is easily one of my top 10 songs of all-time. It sounds just as fresh today as it did in 96′. If you want to escape reality for a minute then I highly suggest you light up, turn down the lights and jam this shit.
Before your favorite rapper of the minute claimed he was futuristic because of his 80’s haircut (?) 3 stacks dropped this record on the Andre & Big Boi presents Outkast album and let the world know how disappointed he was in trendy-ness that had taken over hip hop. Thankfully, instead of letting his anger get the best of him and make an obligitory diss record he decided to channel it into creative energy and created one of the finest records in Outkast’s immense catalog.
