T.I. once said that he, Jeezy and Ludacris were the foundations of Atlanta Hip Hop.

Luda himself talked about his influence but not just in Atlanta, on the entire rap game.

"I think I brought a certain light to Hip Hop that wasn't necessarily always talking about having to shoot guns or the street life," he said on The Mogul Mixtapes podcast. "It's also okay to smile and laugh and actually joke around. I think that I brought a lot of different styles and continue to bring a lot of different styles in terms of flow that bring inspiration into a lot of different rappers as well."
