6. UGK 4 Life (2009, as in, two years after Pimp C died)
I still give steady rotation to the top four. Neither guy's solo stuff compares to their best together. Mostly, Bun B is a better rapper but needs Pimp C as a counterpoint and producer.
Pastor Troy was never my thing, either. But Batty is right to mention 8Ball & MJG. I don't think anything, even Comin' Out Hard (pause) or Living Legends, necessarily is must-have-classic like Ridin' Dirty, but both of them have put out a ton of great music together, and their solo careers are good too. And it's all aggressive as fuck.
I'd also recommend all David Banner, but I'm pretty sure you already listen to him. The first two Mississippi: The Albums and Certified are great.
Forgotten Southern rap classic: Jim Crow, Crow's Nest. The whole album bumps.
