The song Ridin' Dirty and the album are totally different, so i think the online phenomenon should be moved to Chamillionaire's Ridin' Dirty. {{subst:Unsigned|

The Chamillionaire song is called Ridin'. He shortened the name out of respect for the album, which is one of his favorites. Therefore "Ridin Dirty" should redirect to the album, while "Ridin" should redirect to the song. A link is at the top in case they were looking for the song. I should also add that this is one of the most -In my opinion, the most- important albums to Texas hip-hop, even if sadly obscure elsewhere. I will try to improve it soon.

Ridin' Dirty the UGK album[edit]

Can anyone explain why "ridin' dirty" in lowercase redirects to the article Ridin' while "Ridin' Dirty" with capital letters redirects to the Ridin' Dirty album by UGK?

This album became popular with the help of Weird Al Yankovich doing a parody of the song called White and Nerdy. This version of the song got more popular than the song itself. Even the views on YouTube are quite drastically different in favour of the parody, which is actually still beneficial for this song and the album in general. The relation between the two boosted each other's popularity and therefore benefited one another through correlation. This proves that parodies can actually be beneficial for the parodist and the original artist by boosting popularity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Talyssaf (talk • contribs) 05:03, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion?[edit]

I haven't heard Ridin' Dirty yet, but it seems to be pretty influential. I've heard several prominent rappers mention it, and I've heard many hip hop fans describe it as one of the quintessential Southern rap albums. Can someone who has heard the album expand on it a little? It doesn't seem right that there's hardly any content regarding the album. StanHater (talk) 23:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, this article needs expansion bad. Problem is, there's not a lot of reviews on it from mainstream sources because it's Southern Rap from the 90s. I'm doing my best to ad to it right now! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gohornets2 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
