Dirty South
Dirty South is a style of rap music that popped up in the latter half of the 1990s. Dirty South descended from southern rap: its inspirations drew from Dr. Dre's Chronic album as well as Luther Campbell's 2 Live Crew's (possibly the first southern rap group) nasty traditions in equivalent measure, arriving at a stoned, violent, sex-obsessed and profanity-oriented brand of modern hip-hop. Dirty South got its name from a song by Goodie Mobb. They and Outkast are said by some to be the best that this style of rap music had to offer when the style originated; many believe that their more social-conscious lyrics are superior to Dirty South contemporaries like Master P's No Limit posse.
