Future Versus Ludacris: Who Is Better? Twitter Debates

by

Social media is currently debating between two Atlanta hip-hop icons and determining which one is the better artist. As hard as the question is, a lot of people expressed passionate takes on whether Future is better than Ludacris or vice versa. Of course, this is just the latest Twitter trending topic that pits two artists, albums, or other music-related nugget of pop culture against each other. However, what makes this debate particularly interesting is that it really depends on which era speaks more to you as a listener. As far as talent, lyrical ability, influence, impact, and status, both MCs represent a similar grade of quality when it comes to Atlanta’s rap dominance.

Furthermore, many might add asterisks to those attributes depending on what style of hip-hop they prefer. Some believe Future can’t touch Ludacris bar-for-bar, whereas others argue that Luda never influenced his generation to the extent that Fewtch did. Whether you prefer the auto-tune crooner or the under-appreciated lyricist, you can’t deny that it’s at the very least a tough conversation. After all, their appeals are so distinct from one another that you can really enjoy both without having a specific preference.

Ludacris Versus Future Debate Riles Up Social Media

Regardless, many folks still came through comparing what makes each rapper so special in their specific generation. Still, they might share some similar achievements in the abstract, but looking at their styles, you realize that there isn’t much comparison. For example, maybe it would be easier to pit Future up against another 2010s trap pioneer, like a Young Thug or the Migos. On the other hand, Ludacris might go up again 2000s titans like DMX, Jay-Z, or Eminem for an easier comparison point.

Meanwhile, both artists recently looked back, either ceremoniously or directly, on their past work. Future’s classic album DS2 turned eight years old this week, and Ludacris spoke on being surprised at “Southern Hospitality” becoming a hit. With all this context in mind, let us know who you’d take in this debate down in the comments. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on these icons and other Atlanta hip-hop legends.

Mike Tyson Believes Psychedelics Would’ve Made Him A Better Fighter

by

Mike Tyson is a boxing legend, but even he is prone to thinking about his career what-ifs along the way. While that retrospection is usually about mentality or a specific fight, Tyson recently explained why he wanted to be tripping in his prime. Moreover, he spoke to TMZ Sports during an interview about wishing he would’ve done psychedelics back in his heyday, as he believes they would’ve made him a better fighter. “Psychedelics is an enhancement more than a de-enhancement,” he remarked. “It allows you to go in that realm of just comfortability, relaxness, and prepare to reach your highest level. It’s just an amazing feeling.”

Of course, given his passion and proximity to the cannabis industry, his interest in drugs is unsurprising. Still, that’s quite the jump from a joint to shrooms, but Mike Tyson stands by the value of both as a competitive fighter. In fact, the 56-year-old revealed that he took hallucinogens during a recent training session and said his prime would’ve been even more impressive if he was on them. Not only that, but he encouraged more athletes to start smoking bud and indulging in shrooms.

Mike Tyson Says He Would’ve Been A Better Boxer If He Was Tripping

“I’m capable of talking to everybody in the sporting world because that’s basically where it’s needed,” Mike Tyson expressed. “We always thought cannabis was a de-enhancer, made you tired, made you weak, but it actually made you more alert and more studious to your field, to your profession.” However, not everyone is going to agree with that take, and those drugs often work differently for different people. At least Mike was able to find the most positive and productive parts of the drugs. For the sake of his health, it’s also probably a good thing that he regrets not doing them instead of regretting doing them.

Meanwhile, the heavyweight is still thinking about boxing, and he recently revealed who he’s open to fight against. The answer is anyone with a bag. “When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer,” he explained. “I can’t express myself right now financially.” Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Mike Tyson.

Melle Mel Believes Busta Rhymes Is Better Than Jay-Z

by

Melle Mel continues his rap hot takes, as he said that Busta Rhymes is better than Jay-Z. Moreover, it seems like those comments came from the same interview in which he said Eminem is only considered a top five rapper because he’s white. Of course, that assessment set the Internet on fire for a bit, but this take seems a bit more nuanced. Furthermore, it sounds as if the Furious Five member spoke primarily of both’s abilities as MCs. At the end of the day, he sided with Busta for his magnanimous stage presence and his intangible yet hard-hitting talent.

“But now my point is, could he go up against Busta Rhymes?” Mel said of Jay-Z referring to Billboard‘s greatest rappers of all time list. “Could Busta take Jay-Z, yes or no? I don’t have no fear of getting on stage with anybody and crossing mics with anybody. Busta’s a hard draw. That would probably be the hardest draw in the game. He got all the intangibles. It’s a certain thing that Busta got that a lot of MCs don’t got. When he comin’ on that stage, if you out in the crowd, you know something is about to happen. It ain’t just the regular run of the mill ‘I can’t wait for him to do so-and-so song. It’s that magnetism. It’s like a different level that all MCs don’t have that he got. I’ll ride with Busta. If you got the list in front of you, where is Busta on that list?

Melle Mell Says Busta Rhymes Is Better Than Jay-Z

“On an overall 360 of an MC: the pen game, the studio game, the rap game, but the stage presence, that’s got to be in the equation,” he continued. “And absolutely, Busta’s stage presence is better than Jay-Z. Absolutely. I mean, it’s no denying that. Did you see where Busta is on that list? 33. Now, it ain’t [32] guys that can take the guy. That’s my point. Now if he’s 33, it’s not [32] guys that’s gonna say, ‘I want Busta, I wanna do the Verzuz.’ Don’t nobody want him. It ain’t gon’ happen. He could call dudes out. It’s not gonna happen. The type of MC that Busta is is more along the lines of what we was trying to do back in the day. You take your lunch pail to work, you go to work, and you work hard.

“It’s not like, as time went along, the industry kind of guy, the entrepreneur kind of guy, the guy that can do three or four things, he makin’ all different kind of money,” he concluded. “You know what I mean? And there’s a place for those guys and there is greatness in that. But I’m talking about 24/7, 365 days a year, wake Busta up out his sleep, wake Melle Mel up out his sleep, wake Caz up out his sleep, give this n***a a mic. Something gon’ happen. That’s my opinion of MCing, and my opinion should count more that the guy from the Vibe. ‘Cause there’s no way that Busta Rhymes is 33 in the greatest rappers of all time when, who’s gonna rap with the guy?” Let us know your take in the comments and return to HNHH for more hot takes in the rap game.
