The songs on hip hop albums often fit into an uncomftorably similar mould, with mandatory 'dis' and 'single' tracks. Unfortunately, Ludacris falls into the same traps that many rappers do. Ludacris knows how to use humor, instead of going overboard like some rappers (Eminem on Encore) do.

Some of these are 'They make the mold of the penis enlarger off me,' and 'Ya'll put up wit more shit than a colostomy bag.' The skits on this album are also great, all four of them are just hilarious. It's a three minute, hookless song with Ludacris dropping hilarious joke after hilarious joke. In Rob Quarters Skit, Ludacris announces that one of his 62 year old protégés is dropping an album called 'Get Hard or Die Trying.' Hip Hop Quotables is when Ludacris is at his peak. He uses comic relief in his songs to change pace. Have you ever heard him use humor in any of his songs? He is all serious all the time. Just take a glance at 50 Cent for a second. Rappers that take themselves too seriously get tiresome quickly. While most rappers stick to the same style of flow throughout the album, it seems like Ludacris could use any style and still pull it off perfectly. It is a moderately fast place, and he also uses this flow seamlessly. On the next song, Stand Up, he uses his 'regular' style of flow. But he maintains a good steady pace throughout the song, executing that style of flow flawlessly. The next song, Blow It Out, he has a very slow flow.

His flow on that song is extremely fast, but he never pronounces a rhyme wrong or stumbles over a word. He can flow incredibly fast, as shown in Dirty South Intro. I can't say for sure that he is the most skilled rapper in the game right now, but he is the best that I have heard. Ludacris is the most skilled mainstream rapper that is still active. However, there is one jewel that lays buried in that mess. Unfortunately, the first image that comes to many people's mind when the Dirty South is mentioned is Mike Jones repeating his name constantly and Paul Wall's icy grill.

There are barely any rappers with any rhyming skill that reside in the south.
