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 (one of the first southern rap groups to gain notoriety).
Dirty South got its name from a song by Atlanta's Goodie Mob which featured famed Outkast and Dungeon Family affiliate Cool Breeeze who originally coined the term.
