I figured we've discussed best albums overall and mc's to death lately, so why not break it down by region and see what everyone is feeling? Let's try to discuss and put our Boxingscene List of Best Southern Albums

I have been a big fan of good southern rap and enjoy it just as much as my love for east coast music. I couldn't pin down an order of my favorite southern records so I'll name a few that come to mind...


Outkast- ATLiens
UGK- Ridin' Dirty
Outkast- Aquemini
Z-Ro- Let The Truth Be Told
Devin The Dude- To Tha X-Treme
Scarface- The Fix
Scarface- The Diary
Lil Wayne- Tha Carter II

Add some great albums and let's get this list going..

TI's paper trail or TI's king album should be considered...

They're both great albums but aren't considered his best.

No love for Trap Musik???? IMO that's T.I.'s best album by far, definitely a top 10 southern album.
