Comment:

While the familiar flows of Jay-Z, Nas, and Busta Rhymes held the East Coast down in the ’00s, the Dirty South was having its greatest decade yet. Following the lead of Atlanta’s own dynamic duo, OutKast, T.I. imagined a future where Roberta Flack rubs elbows with “Hey Joe” (“What You Know”); Mike Jones clobbered a church organ and slowed the chorus of “Back Then” to a crawl; Gucci Mane ran laps around the steely loops of “Wasted”; and UGK delivered one of their final sizzurp-sipping singles, “Int’l Players Anthem (I Choose You),” against a Motown-driven backdrop and the cleanup-crew verses of Andre 3000 and Big Boi.
