TOP 20 DIRTY SOUTH RAP SONGS OF 2011

Pretty darn good year for the Dirty South in my opinion. 

Saw the return from Gangsta Blac for one, and Tech N9ne 

(whom we'll classify as Dirty South and not Midwest Rap) 

dropped two amazing albums. Too much to choose just a 20 top, 

but i managed though a lot of favourites had to be left out. 

Needless to say these tracks chosen, like with the East Coast's finest, 

are all pretty close together. It was a good year!

Seriously, this top 20 is jus crack, you could easily 
swap 'em around except for the top spot. 

Audio coming soon...

1. Tech N9Ne - Worldwide Choppers

Best track of 2011 hands down, nothing could top

this the minute it heard it. What a line-up and what a 

delivery from everyone. Top that off with a beat that

could'nt be more perfect, a hook that's just ridiculously

engaging and this track got immortal status!

2. Fiend - Wish I Could Fly

Call me biased because Fiend is my favourite rapper

(which doesn't mean i love everything he does), but 

this song is front to back so damn awesome. 

It takes me back to when i first fell in love with 

"Waiting On God", my favourite rap song of all time. 

The production and melody with Fiend's smooth 

voice and delivery is nothing but greatness. 

May not be the best track overall to most people, 

but I had to give it this spot. Well due.

3. T-Rock - Real Life Story

I swear, i totally overlooked this track and when out 

of the blue it came up again, i had to mention it. Fuck it,

top three cuts even. T-Rock at his finest and the beat

is just sick with a swag to keep you boppin all the 

way through. And the lyrics go deep no doubt.

4. Pill - Don't Let Me Go

Personally i think Pill is the dark horse out of MMG.

Not praising the shit out of him, but dude needs more

respect. This track is sick point blank. Crazy beat 

(musically one of the finest this year) with a fly ass hook

and Pill who really shines and makes it all his own.

5. I-20 - Blood & Tears

This is from I-20's 2012 release "Celebrity Rehab",

but i love this one so much, i had to mention it this

year since they dropped it back in November. 

The topic is dope and DJ Pain 1's production is perfect 

and i love the drums. Song of the week since it dropped.

6. Ace Hood - Letter To My Exes

Ace is by no means a favourite of mine, but he surprised

me with his latest album and this cut is just fantastic. 

7. Yelawolf - Made In The USA

Despite the radio-friendliness and poppy beat, this track

still pulls me in. We'll call it a guilty pleasure. Not a

typical Yela track at all, but again...i'm oddly lovin it.

8. Young Jeezy - .38

Favourite track off TM:103 and this one has such a nasty

punch you gotta love it. Full blast, kill yo speakers and

piss off the neighbours, don't matter. 

Bump this lil mofo to the fullest and you know what's up!

9. Nappy Roots - Give Me A Sign

I just had to add this one to the list. Nappy Roots is a

must for every true Dirty South fan and though this is

a "softer uptempo" type track, i love the vibe. Add all

the different raps from the group and it's magic.

10. Trae - Strapped Up

Man, Drumma Boy did this one. I take my hat off to him

for this beat. Trae's style just adds that extra oomph 

and even Pyrexx did more than his thing. Sick song.

11. Maybach Music Group - By Any Means

The hook alone made this a must add. All verses are

on point and the beat just knocks the fuck outta e'ything.

12. Tech N9ne - Sad Circus

There were so many dope Tech songs this year 

so really this spot is for all of 'em. I picked Sad Circus 

because it is so different. And Brotha Lynch steals

the show. Welcome To Strangeland mu'fuckers!

13. Fiend - Take A Pull

Another joint from  the Cool Is In Session mixtape 

because it still got me hooked. Lovin the beat and

Fiend's verse and flow put a smile on my face. 

And you'll hum that hook for days...

14. Young Jeezy - Everythang

I shoulda picked "O.J." here, but the hook off this joint

made me change it. Man I love it.

15. SNO - Poor White Trash

Surprisingly dope cd by Wyte and those other two dudes, 

who on their own aint really shit. This track

summed it all up. Awesome hook and a killer beat.

16. Big K.R.I.T. - American Rapstar

By far the best mixtape this year! I absolutely loved it

and Lions And lambs & Dreamin are so damn good, 

as are so many other joints of this album.But i had 

to go for the track that made me love KRIT to begin with.

Just plain awesome and knowing dude produced all

his songs on top? My second-coming Fiend.

17. T-Rock - My Gangsta

Even if this was an instrumental, it'd be up here.

But T-Rock's flow on this is bananas. Dude is so

underrated it's not funny. Classic g-shit.

18. Ace Hood - Hustle Hard

A track that dope, even Lil Wayne shines on it. 

19. Gucci Mane - Me & Money

Another sick Drumma Boy beat. Gucci Mane aint much

but he goes off on this one, mos def. Love the hook.

20. Gangsta Blac - Click Is Thick / 7 Days

I had to add Gangsta Blac on here because, 

for one, this track is classic m-town shit. 

The beat is just bananas! And GB still got it. 

Best use of the sample I've heard in years aswell.
"Gangsta Gangsta" "Head Nod" or "7 Days" would've 
been an easy pick for this spot aswell. 

Salute yo.
