I had the honor of meeting PIMP after he was released. Our daughters took dance classes together and all of dad's of the class had to be do a father daughter dance. I met him back stage, and I can actually say I was on stage (during the father/daughter dance) with the legend Pimp C. Every person he talked to back stage, he ended the convo with a firm handshake, direct eye contact and a God bless you. I told him I was a long time fan and bought my first UGK album from Ted's record shop in P. A..... He said damn you really are a long time fan because Ted's closed down in the 90's. I'm 43 now and had been listening to them since 7 grade. He seemed like a genuine dude from that short encounter. Unfortunately he passed shortly after. R. I. P. PIMP
Husband has similar stories. He was a rapper with slim thug in the late nineties. I was still a baby but he was going out to meet with ugk because they knew cousins of my husbands family. Sadly my husband gave up that lifestyle. I still tell go back out but I'm his manager and body guard. I knew then he was perfect for me. Because I was jamming pimp at fourteen years old. Singing it in class. Who knew id marry out my race or age? I was sixteen when we met,married for twelve years,nineteen year age difference. I love the rubbernecking they do to us. No skeezers here sorry. Im homegrown 😂
It make take years to fully appreciate what PimpC brought to the world let alone UGK. He spoke the truth and didn’t bite his tongue and most of these celebrities can’t say the same………PimpC is more than a legend…he will always be an Icon to the ones that really “felt” where he coming from. 🔥💯#RestInPower
Pimp was a real one. He wasn’t excited about Jay and the Roc glitz and glamour and they were running the game at the time. He’s the opposite of clout chasing. RIP Sweet James Jones
To keep it within context....Jay-Z wasnt super duper huge and above the rap game at that time....that was the album that made him a SUPER ICON! He was still somewhat a regular rapper that was on the rise to super stardom so his peers still looked at him as one of them....
@@godofthisshit Thats true....but sales dont reflect who Jay was as a star! Even after selling that many records he still wasn't a mega star like we know today ....keep in mind that was 1999 Jay...he was still relatively new to a lot of people. He blew up as a NATIONAL star in 1998 with Vol 2....this was the follow up album to that....I would say by The Blueprint album is when he became that Global Icon that commanded respect from everybody including other stars! Thats why Pimp C didn't respect him like that....because UGK had been a big deal since like 1990 so they were actually bigger rappers than Jay from a seniority standpoint.
@@TheSupremeDunk He's more known today than back then, but he had the streets more back then. Most rap fans in 99 didn't know who UGK was. They just weren't that kind of act where the majority of hip hop fans, even if they don't rock with you, know who you are.
To keep it even Trill a group from Texas actually named themselves Texas Boyz they were independent and had some good music . I met them at a gentleman’s club in South Texas they gave me a cd was knockin . Pimp influence on the culture was strong
I'm from up North but I went to college in GA. Every summer I would come home with UGK, Pastor Troy, C - Murder, Drama, Three 6 Mafia. My friends would ask: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LISTENING TO? I'd laugh, and tell them they ain't ready for these country rap tunes.
Same here. I would go down south and come back bumpin UGK, Three 6, 8ball MJG, Old OutKast, trick.. same thing.. mfs be like man wtf is this country ass shit… fast forward few years later every1 listening to south shit

Bun is a legend, on one hand his verse on “Murder” is some of the hardest sh*t ever, but he also had the acumen to write hooks.

And he more than holds his own with the greats. #UGK4LIFE. PA’s finest.✊🏻
I love these interviews. It literally feels like sitting back and hearing that uncle I never had tell some legendary stories about the good ole days back when things were chill with a moral of the story intertwined somewhere in it.
I love when people say that! Like what would Pac say or what would Pimp C say.. The others Rappers are alive that came from that same time period so why they ain't saying anything??? Let me guess cause they are doing songs with them.. People kill me with this notion that someone will say this or that if they were alive! Who knows?! Pimp or Pac may have worked with these kids.. Everybody mind changes over time.. Nas worked with Lil Nas X for crying out loud and Nas really didn't need to do that but he did..
The sharpness of Pimp C mind is one of a kind 💯 T.V ain't got no temperature 🎯 Plus how he gonna be hot in 90° weather when he to busy being cool😎 Long Live Pimp C 😇
Jay was maybe the first NY MC to keep a open mind when it comes to southern artists. He did Juvies Ha remix, he was on Master P (I got the hook up) soundtrack, did big pimping, and has numerous scarface tracks. Jigga was early recognizing where the game was headed
There will NEVER be another like Chad. I love him and his music to the core. I listed to UGK since day one in 1992 when I was 14. Pimp helped me get out the game, taught me the game, and made me the G I am. RIP Chad
It's a number of people you can find speaking on it. Pimp was 100% on some "If 2Pac don't fuck with you, I don't fuck with you either." So even though 2Pac was gone at that point he still had that taste in his mouth for Jay-Z.
Pimp got cool with Jay later on. He never hated Jay Z. As far as Pac, he didn’t like Jay because Biggie dissed Pac on Brooklyn’s Finest. Also on Jay’s Dead Presidents video where they were playing Monopoly with real money, Jay said we gotta get some of that west coast money plus Biggie was in the video and Pac didn’t like that. Pac and Jay never met so the beef wasn’t that deep lol.
He wasn't a fan of Jay becuz he didn't like artist from NY (who were dissing the south) trying to get clout off legendary artists from the south. It could have been any artist from NY (at that time) it just happened to be Jay
@@bigA-cy3he 100%. To me, as far as Southern lyricists it goes Andre 3000, T.I., Slim Thug and Bun B. Curren$y is an honorable mention since he is still somewhat young.
A lot of high level people are. I mean the best people in any field are good storytellers. They usually need to cast vision to people for them to follow and support their movement.
I could listen to Pimp C stories for hours. But in the back of my mind I think Pimp C stories are like John Wick stories, I think they're watered down! RIP Pimp C! UGK 4 Life!!
I like dude's interview style. It's almost like he phrases the questions in ways that make them have to open up more about or be more descriptive. My guy be in there getting us details, u feel?
Its one thing to interview and it’s another to actually know the people you interviewing. He actually sounds like he running a regular conversation versus the ones who try to get main questions asked
I'm from NY and that song was my first introduction to the TX rappers. How they flow on the beat was crazy. I'm glad Pimp got on, he would have regretted missing out on that hit.
Bun & Jay got on that joint spitting bars Pimp got on there talking H -Town slang & it was CLASSIC so CLASSIC Jay had to do a 2nd verse for the radio & video 😂😂😂
Man I love hearing old stories about Pimp C. I wish the Pimp was still here. I remember the first time I heard UGK “Tell Me Something Good”. My uncle couldn’t find that record for 2 days. I snatched that mug up and burned a copy for myself on my karaoke take deck or whatever that mug was called. I bumped that record forever. Then pocket full of stones dropped. It was over. UGK Fan 4 Life after that. There will never be another.
The more I learn about Pimp C the more I understand why him and Master P could not coexist. Love them both but P definitely would not of had the same reaction as Jay-Z.
@@360westent to quote pimp c "our records always go gold!" ugk understood that they were not pop artist but they were cultural icons for the south and midwest...therefore by doing the song they then gave jayz instant validation outside of new york...
I really love that y'all just let Bun talk. I've seen too many interviews ruined by an interviewer getting in the way of the star. Excellent professionalism by knowing how & when to add to the interview and keep it moving. Kudos gentlemen.
I never liked pimps part because it felt like exactly what the last dude commented. This interview confirms that feeling. Pimp didn’t want to do this. He clearly did it for Bun. Hence only giving them 8.
@bocoy noiu it wasn't that he didn't like Jay but Pimp's Big Texas energy just didn't want no cosign. There was a lot of pride & ego (just being strong-minded men) at play Pimp wanted to "make it" on their own Accord. And one thing about it, back in the day, rappers out of certain States didn't need to be nationally known to go platinum, be millionaires in music to "make it". He gone speak on it in other parts of this interview. Texas/the south is one of those States and areas. That Texas mentality is something different tho😍🤩.... Big Gip tell a story about when Pimp C wind up giving Jay props. It's also said that Pimp eventually apologized for being do combative. Don't forget he was bipolar and possibly another mental health situation. He was just meant to move different. 🤷🏾♀️ Also, the lady friend was Aaron Halls baby mother... The tattoo of his name on her was famous 😉
@4:12 🇹🇹 That video was legendary especially since y'all shot it around Carnival time in my country! 💯💯💯 Pimp C and Bun B And (UGK) are on my top 10 list period!!!! I was too young to be in attendance 😂😂😂
Before it's all said and done, this will be a top 2-3 B High interview just off the strength of the Pimp C stories and UGK's status B High knows how to get the best out of legends that come to his podcast
Jay knew that Bun and Pimp was gon make AND take that song to where it is NOW. I like the east coast and third coast feel that was put together on the track. Producer got paid for THAT one 😎
Bun B Is one of my favorite Rappers for like 27 years. There are artists who rap complex bars, there are fast rappers, and 40 different types of rappers. But a lot of thoes lyrics are not what the artists lives are about. I do not doubt 1 lyric from any song in their catalog. He carries himself with so much respect and transparent and open honesty that it is refreshing for the past 27 years and counting that I can not name a bad song from UGK. Same with Ball and G, or Outkast. Mudra sealed the deal. I really like front-to- back. Pocketful of stones I heard on Menace II Society when I was like 11 years old. I'm from Flint Michigan, and I remember there was a group called top authority they came out in 1993 with the album that they got famous off of in the hoods across America. I had the white self-titled UGK, Wu-Tang Clan 36 Chambers and Top Authority something to blaze to. Dr.Dre came with The Chronic and I was listening to local music and everything oh, and my homeboy brought me that Ridin Dirty album. I'm pretty sure it was 1994. You hear the guys talking in prison, and then the song Murda starts and Pimp C set the standard for dope boy rap for my tastes with the Number flip." I got them pounds goin for 4 but you know I just paid 2, a nigga bought 30 so I front him 40 too! Keep on poppin 700 times 62, 24/8 is what I do, so nigga fuck what you do. If I told you cocaine #s you think that I'm lying! Young ass niggas 22 and talking about they retiring. In the game ain't no thang come in foreign with Benz, To weekend homes and apartments where I entertain friends. More bounce to the ouce cuz the Burm's the shit! I done got me 50 oz. Out of a bird in this bitch."
@@c-ro9710 Bro Its Crazy that our Cities say thank you are at opposite ends of the country and are so similar. That's one City that's on my list of places to go and check-out. That and actual New York City. I've lived in Los Angeles and quite a few major cities around the country. The only other City I felt at home instantly in was Oakland. I have a feeling that a lot of Texas will be the same way for me when I make my way through. I am a Hip Hop head so most of my vacation destinations are places in songs. S/o from Flint to PA and anyone rocking with the Real ones. They stopped making the fabric of the cloth people were cut from that era, in the early 2000's. Not knocking anything or anyone else before or after. I feel if you grew up with Ridin Dirty, ATLiens, Geto Boys 96 Resurrection, Sitting on top of the world, Something to Blaze to, or Dayton Family, then you more than likely carry yourself a little more reserved, mostly respectful, Stern and purposeful, hustle and grind to feed the fam no matter what hook or crook , and most people don't tend to cross your Line in the sand once it's drawn. I don't say that not being hard or tough. Just a realization.
@@stevensavage6919 All FACTS my brother. Real recognize Real. I agree with everything you said. If you come visit Texas ..don’t waste your time coming to PA..it’s just a shell of what it used to be🤦🏾♂️. Houston is one hour away from Port Arthur and I would recommend you visit there. Same vibe but a big city with lots of things to do and places to go. Stay up bro
@@c-ro9710 I have to see Horn park, and Roll Botany. It may not be what it once was, my city is voted the worst in the country on the regs. It's the feeling of Pulling up in the Calliope Projects in New Orleans , or Crenshaw Blvd headed to the concrete jungles in Los Angeles where they filmed Training Day. It's like being able to put a physical image of the stories we hold close to us in music. The imagery of the words is one thing, but to geographically be looking through the point of view of the artist somehow makes me feel like I have a more complete understanding. There have been things that I've gotten wrong, and when I went to the place figured out the proper pronunciation or things of that nature. And it's all culture. If people were to ask me what my nationality was I would probably say hip-hop, and mean it to death. I am a white Irish guy who grew up in the 80s in the hood. The way I looked at it as there was the religious people, the addicts and alcoholics, and then the people that was just trying to live, and we was all mixed together trying to get along and make ends meet with what we had. If that ain't hip-hop I don't know what it is.
@@stevensavage6919 Yeah. I heard about Flint. Port Arthur isn’t working exactly Mr Rogers neighborhood either. Google worst cities in Texas and you will see Port Arthur on the list sadly😢.. but if you do make it to Houston.. check out the DJ Screw house!
Jay-Z does what few rappers have the balls to do.....go into your world....that beat was tailored for UGK....his whole goal with that song was to gain more popularity in the south.....hes a business man 1st, rapper 2nd.
I was like 6 yrs old when that song came out. I could never understand anything Pimp C said on that song I guess because of that thick southern accent lol. Listening to it now though I can catch what he was saying. Him and Bun B went in on that song.

Bun is one of the best storytellers I know!
A lot of high level people are. I mean the best people in any field are good storytellers. They usually need to cast vision to people for them to follow and support their movement.
Yes
Pimp C was just prolific 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾!
I could listen to Pimp C stories for hours. But in the back of my mind I think Pimp C stories are like John Wick stories, I think they're watered down! RIP Pimp C! UGK 4 Life!!
Bun B absolutely destroyed that song! It was on LL radio just the other day....LOL
They don't give Bun enough credit. He kilt Jay and Pimp.
@@FrenchJae Facts
B, I like that interview with Bun speaking on Pimp C. UGK has to be in my play list. R.I.P
Pimp C. and big ups to Bun B. 💪🏾 "Already"...
Smokin out pourin up keepin lean up in the cup 🔥🔥🔥🔥 R.I.P PIMP THE GOAT 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
When Bun performed in Memphis in 2019, he literally let the crowd do Pimp's verse on Big Pimpin.
B high interviews THE BEST in hip hop IMO
As a fan he always ask the right questions and the vibe is just relaxed Respect !
I got goosebumps listening to when Bun was speaking about Pimp’s verse 🔥🔥🔥
I like dude's interview style. It's almost like he phrases the questions in ways that make them have to open up more about or be more descriptive. My guy be in there getting us details, u feel?
Yeah it’s amazing, he puts the question in a way that forces them to tell a story
Its one thing to interview and it’s another to actually know the people you interviewing. He actually sounds like he running a regular conversation versus the ones who try to get main questions asked
I'm from NY and that song was my first introduction to the TX rappers. How they flow on the beat was crazy. I'm glad Pimp got on, he would have regretted missing out on that hit.
Love hearing stories of Pimp C, that was my dude growing up. Some of that funny style rap definitely wouldn't be poppin if pimp was still here. 🥃
Bun & Jay got on that joint spitting bars Pimp got on there talking H -Town slang & it was CLASSIC so CLASSIC Jay had to do a 2nd verse for the radio & video 😂😂😂
Does Mr. Freeman have a podcast? Cus the stories he could tell about himself and Mr. Butler would be phenomenal ✌🏿
He have a youtube channel, don't think he be on it much
I told him he need to start one
He has a show on the rock the bells channel on SiriusXM I think it come on at 12 or 1 pm central time
He get more bread from college lectures
Yea the 2trill show on Xm radio
Man I love hearing old stories about Pimp C. I wish the Pimp was still here. I remember the first time I heard UGK “Tell Me Something Good”. My uncle couldn’t find that record for 2 days. I snatched that mug up and burned a copy for myself on my karaoke take deck or whatever that mug was called. I bumped that record forever. Then pocket full of stones dropped. It was over. UGK Fan 4 Life after that. There will never be another.
“If he up then watch him fall!” “ I can’t fuck with y’all!!!”
Pimp C delivered a cool performance in in a mink coat in 88 degree weather. One of my favorite videos from my days in middle school.
I could listen to Bun B read nursery rhymes and be quite happy. He's an awesome storyteller.
The more I learn about Pimp C the more I understand why him and Master P could not coexist. Love them both but P definitely would not of had the same reaction as Jay-Z.
Till this day i assert that that record did more for jayz than ugk...
What other song does ugk got on radio?
I mean it was Jay's record but it did put UGK on the mainstream level.
@@360westent to quote pimp c "our records always go gold!" ugk understood that they were not pop artist but they were cultural icons for the south and midwest...therefore by doing the song they then gave jayz instant validation outside of new york...
@@krischandler1343 real fans were already hip to ugk if you heard bun this was literally the second time he tried to make a song with them
@@righteousru9296 I knew who they were since 92. I'm referring to what you said about the record doing more for Jay
Classic. Legendary shit. R.I.P. PIMP C
Dope story bun Pimp c a legend Tv ain’t got no temperature
Lyrically, Bun B is a underrated beast! Best verse on Big Pimpin folks just cant keep up. Pimp C has the simplest easiest sing along verse
True but the most well-known verse on Big Pimpin
Yes he is!! He Murders everything he gets on!!
Right No slight to Jay but Big Pimpin was really Bun B's song
Like Bun said it took 2 months to get Pimp to agree to put 8 bars 😂😂
Pimp was a underrated fire ass producer too
Never get tired of hearing this story 👍
I really love that y'all just let Bun talk. I've seen too many interviews ruined by an interviewer getting in the way of the star. Excellent professionalism by knowing how & when to add to the interview and keep it moving. Kudos gentlemen.
I still think Buns verse was the hottest one on the record
I never liked pimps part because it felt like exactly what the last dude commented. This interview confirms that feeling. Pimp didn’t want to do this. He clearly did it for Bun. Hence only giving them 8.
@bocoy noiu it wasn't that he didn't like Jay but Pimp's Big Texas energy just didn't want no cosign. There was a lot of pride & ego (just being strong-minded men) at play Pimp wanted to "make it" on their own Accord. And one thing about it, back in the day, rappers out of certain States didn't need to be nationally known to go platinum, be millionaires in music to "make it". He gone speak on it in other parts of this interview. Texas/the south is one of those States and areas. That Texas mentality is something different tho😍🤩....
Big Gip tell a story about when Pimp C wind up giving Jay props. It's also said that Pimp eventually apologized for being do combative. Don't forget he was bipolar and possibly another mental health situation. He was just meant to move different. 🤷🏾♀️
Also, the lady friend was Aaron Halls baby mother... The tattoo of his name on her was famous 😉
@bocoy noiu and juvenile
I honestly believe Bun had the best verse on International Players Anthem! 🔥
@bocoy noiu Bun said that pimp c was a big 2pac fan and since pac didnt like jay he didnt really want to do it
I fuck with this channel heavy you have the artist I grew up on
Bun B a Living Legend and I love this story about how Big Pimpin came together. Pimp C was such a real gangster and true visionary.
This is one of the best interviews I ever heard
@4:12 🇹🇹 That video was legendary especially since y'all shot it around Carnival time in my country! 💯💯💯 Pimp C and Bun B And (UGK) are on my top 10 list period!!!! I was too young to be in attendance 😂😂😂
Rip pimp c from fort Worth Texas man that dude was our front line soldier for Texas .
This was a banger bro nothing like hearing epic stories from the legends in the game
This brother and Big Boy are my favorite interviewers in the game. UGK are just so legendary and ushered in the "Texas sound" in my opinion.
Before it's all said and done, this will be a top 2-3 B High interview just off the strength of the Pimp C stories and UGK's status
B High knows how to get the best out of legends that come to his podcast
Too Short gives a more in depth story on how he played a large part on helping Pimp C even deciding to show up to the video shoot.
Bun B should have mentioned he wasn't going to do that track out of respect and love he had for 2Pac!
Bruh these interviews are GOLDEN. TOP TIER PODCAST CLIPS.
I could listen to Bun talk alllllll day!!! Good shit! 😍😍😍
Pimp C made that song... Those 8 bars are LEGENDARY
Shit ain't the same when one's not in the game.
Real Spill
THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE FUCKIN STORY. TOP MARKS BUN B👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I swear the best rappers are also amazing storytellers. It's definitely not a coincidence.
Maaaan I can listen to Bun all day long! Knowledge... game... and more! 💯
I got chills thinking about PIMP C verse hardest shit ever (pause)
Jay knew that Bun and Pimp was gon make AND take that song to where it is NOW. I like the east coast and third coast feel that was put together on the track. Producer got paid for THAT one 😎
LONG LIVE CHAD BUTLER!!!!
Bun B Is one of my favorite Rappers for like 27 years. There are artists who rap complex bars, there are fast rappers, and 40 different types of rappers. But a lot of thoes lyrics are not what the artists lives are about. I do not doubt 1 lyric from any song in their catalog. He carries himself with so much respect and transparent and open honesty that it is refreshing for the past 27 years and counting that I can not name a bad song from UGK. Same with Ball and G, or Outkast. Mudra sealed the deal. I really like front-to- back. Pocketful of stones I heard on Menace II Society when I was like 11 years old. I'm from Flint Michigan, and I remember there was a group called top authority they came out in 1993 with the album that they got famous off of in the hoods across America. I had the white self-titled UGK, Wu-Tang Clan 36 Chambers and Top Authority something to blaze to. Dr.Dre came with The Chronic and I was listening to local music and everything oh, and my homeboy brought me that Ridin Dirty album. I'm pretty sure it was 1994. You hear the guys talking in prison, and then the song Murda starts and Pimp C set the standard for dope boy rap for my tastes with the Number flip." I got them pounds goin for 4 but you know I just paid 2, a nigga bought 30 so I front him 40 too! Keep on poppin 700 times 62, 24/8 is what I do, so nigga fuck what you do. If I told you cocaine #s you think that I'm lying! Young ass niggas 22 and talking about they retiring. In the game ain't no thang come in foreign with Benz, To weekend homes and apartments where I entertain friends. More bounce to the ouce cuz the Burm's the shit! I done got me 50 oz. Out of a bird in this bitch."
Respect! I remember Top Authority. We was bumping them down here in Port Arthur Texas. PA to Flint #standup
@@c-ro9710 Bro Its Crazy that our Cities say thank you are at opposite ends of the country and are so similar. That's one City that's on my list of places to go and check-out. That and actual New York City. I've lived in Los Angeles and quite a few major cities around the country. The only other City I felt at home instantly in was Oakland. I have a feeling that a lot of Texas will be the same way for me when I make my way through. I am a Hip Hop head so most of my vacation destinations are places in songs. S/o from Flint to PA and anyone rocking with the Real ones. They stopped making the fabric of the cloth people were cut from that era, in the early 2000's. Not knocking anything or anyone else before or after. I feel if you grew up with Ridin Dirty, ATLiens, Geto Boys 96 Resurrection, Sitting on top of the world, Something to Blaze to, or Dayton Family, then you more than likely carry yourself a little more reserved, mostly respectful, Stern and purposeful, hustle and grind to feed the fam no matter what hook or crook , and most people don't tend to cross your Line in the sand once it's drawn. I don't say that not being hard or tough. Just a realization.
@@stevensavage6919 All FACTS my brother. Real recognize Real. I agree with everything you said. If you come visit Texas ..don’t waste your time coming to PA..it’s just a shell of what it used to be🤦🏾♂️. Houston is one hour away from Port Arthur and I would recommend you visit there. Same vibe but a big city with lots of things to do and places to go. Stay up bro
@@c-ro9710 I have to see Horn park, and Roll Botany. It may not be what it once was, my city is voted the worst in the country on the regs. It's the feeling of Pulling up in the Calliope Projects in New Orleans , or Crenshaw Blvd headed to the concrete jungles in Los Angeles where they filmed Training Day. It's like being able to put a physical image of the stories we hold close to us in music. The imagery of the words is one thing, but to geographically be looking through the point of view of the artist somehow makes me feel like I have a more complete understanding. There have been things that I've gotten wrong, and when I went to the place figured out the proper pronunciation or things of that nature. And it's all culture. If people were to ask me what my nationality was I would probably say hip-hop, and mean it to death. I am a white Irish guy who grew up in the 80s in the hood. The way I looked at it as there was the religious people, the addicts and alcoholics, and then the people that was just trying to live, and we was all mixed together trying to get along and make ends meet with what we had. If that ain't hip-hop I don't know what it is.
@@stevensavage6919 Yeah. I heard about Flint. Port Arthur isn’t working exactly Mr Rogers neighborhood either. Google worst cities in Texas and you will see Port Arthur on the list sadly😢.. but if you do make it to Houston.. check out the DJ Screw house!
I'm like a kid in a candy store right now....
This story does never get old
Love his love he will forever have for his partner 🙏🏾. Great session.
Most legendary 8 bars ever
"My money look better on my wife." Real rap.
Pimp C part is my favorite part of this song - brings back some good high school memories
Can we be honest Pimp & Bun B killed that Big Pimping. Even harder than Jay Z.
Jay-Z does what few rappers have the balls to do.....go into your world....that beat was tailored for UGK....his whole goal with that song was to gain more popularity in the south.....hes a business man 1st, rapper 2nd.
@@AndrewJM That's great he still has s track record of getting killed on his own shit.
Bun not pimp imo
@@andrewmunlin2115 Neither of Jays verses are as memorable as Pimps especially nit his last verse. It was below average.
I fu&k$ with the platform. Detroit native, great grandma from Georgia 💯
Love me some Bun, his talent and how he takes care of his wife.
I never pushed the like button on a interview until now! #RipPimpC #RealStandUpGuy
I was like 6 yrs old when that song came out. I could never understand anything Pimp C said on that song I guess because of that thick southern accent lol. Listening to it now though I can catch what he was saying. Him and Bun B went in on that song.
@Phantom Freeze bus driver trill af 😆
Respect to Bun B. And Pimp C., that single was amazing.
Man I miss UGK! he had me rollin' talking about Pimp and the mink..🤣 Bun B one of my down South lyrical heroes, RIP Mr Chad Butler aka Pimp C👑🐐🙏
" Im up early ,cause my niggas dont sell dope after night time" I love Wood wheel and Bun went straight lyrical on that jawn
