In 1991, UGK submitted a track called "Pregnant Pussy" to Jive Records prior to the release of Too Hard to Swallow.Although Jive was no stranger to the kind of explicit 'raunchiness' that rapper Too Short sold millions of records with, and despite the fact that Jive was not yet the label of Britney Spears, NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, label chief Barry Weiss declined to release it in any form.However, the decision didn't come easy and much internal debate ensued behind the scenes at Jive as to whether it was worth the public outrage that would have surely been the outcome of risking the release.The track was eventually released via the duo's Banned EP."Won't Let You Down (Texas Takeover Remix)" Chamillionaire (feat.Rapper Pimp C Found Dead in Hollywood Hotel Room.Accessed December 9, 2007.UGK Billboard Album Chart Positions.UGK's Pimp C To Be Released From Prison Within A Month.Jive Records Presents: UGK Chopped and Screwed.Rapper Pimp C Released from Prison.Con Pimp C Juiced For UGK Album, Says He Has Lessons To Teach.MTV News: November 13, 2006.UGK Dropping Double Album In December.Report: UGK Rapper Pimp C Found Dead In L.This page was last modified 03:49, 7 January 2008.SIGN ME UP FOR THE UGKs EMAIL LIST!UGK's official mobile fan club!Download HOT new UGK Music!Enter your number below to receive txt updates and more from UGK!Congratulations to Roderick Rudolph from Montgomery, Alabama, winner of the "Ultimate UGK Fan Pack"!UGK's Official Mobile Fan Club for updates on everything UGK!Shirt, UGK's 7 CD catalog to along with a copy of UGK's brand new album, Underground Kingz."Are you sure you want to delete this comment?"RIP PIMP CPLEASE CHECK 0UT:www.God bless you all, your families, and your friends this 2008 and all your years to come.IN EVERY CITY YEP THEY GOT THEM MESSY HOES!IF YOU KNOW SOME MESSY HOES..LISTEN 2 MORE GOOD MUSIC CHECK OUT MY PAGE!!!LISTEN 2 MORE GOOD MUSIC CHECK OUT MY PAGE!!!Gone but definitly not forgotten...Thank you for all the great years of music you provided us all.LISTEN 2 MORE GOOD MUSIC CHECK OUT MY PAGE!!!LISTEN 2 MORE GOOD MUSIC CHECK OUT MY PAGE!!!LISTEN 2 MORE GOOD MUSIC CHECK OUT MY PAGE!!!ESE6183 TRACKS AWAY FROM FINISH,THE MOST ANTICIPATED MIXTAPE IN STL WITH NO PROMOTION OR SHOWS, THE 3 TRACKS ONLINE SPEAKS FOR THEMSELVES!STOP THRU AND SHOW LOVE OR HATEWWW.Menace 2 society soundtrack.You will be miss greatly.Wishing u the Absolute Best for the New Year.HAPPY NEW YEAR UGK!MUCH RESPECT TO DA UGK AND CHADS FAMILY....RIP TO THE PIMP AND LET HIS SPIRIT LIVE....JAMO JAY OF TULSA+++THAT GODLY RAPPER GUYWHO R YOU?FOR YOU TO SEEK HIM FORWE TRUST IN GODNOT FALSE WARSBE BLESS........"Urgent Security Alert","Warning: You are submitting information to an outside site.Id + " Link: " + targetLink.Pimp C Found Dead in Hotel Room

appear?The last CD that UGK released as a group was 2001's Dirty Money.Prince Presents: Realest Down South, "Take It Off" which was on the "Corruptor" soundtrack, "Pimpin' Ain't No Illusion" which was on a CD single with a track called "Belts To Match", which was out atleast a year before "Dirty Money" was released and "Money, H***, and Power" which was on JD's "Instructions" CD.Purchasing "Dirty Money" made me go back and buy the rest of the UGK CD catalog: Ridin' Dirty,Super Tight...Wood", "One Day", "Pinky Ring", "F____ My Car", "Murder" and the title track being my favorites.UGK is definitely one of the pioneers of the Down South rap music scene.However, with Jive Records basically fumbling the way that "Dirty Money" was handled overall and Pimp C's troubles with the law, it was up to Bun B to keep the UGK name alive (not that it needed too much help with the other 4 CDs still on the shelves).Although he admitted on the track "The Story" from "Trill" that he struggled during this time, in the end he knew what he had to do.Bun B was also featured on a track called "I's A Playa" that was on Sweet James Jones Stories, a CD that Pimp C had been working on before he went to jail that Rap A Lot tried to patch together and create a full length CD from.Key" and a couple of other tracks there wasn't too much to talk about.CD Trill once he created enough of a buzz to keep the UGK name current with an assortment of talent from Down South.Ludacris, "Pushin'" with Scarface and Young Jeezy and the "Draped Up (Remix)"."White Girl" which was a track that also featured Juelz Santana, Bun B and Pimp C and "Chunk Up The Deuce" which was a track that had UGK with Paul Wall and Lil Keke.Finally, I started hearing a buzz that UGK would be releasing a CD on Jive Records before they made anymore major moves as a group.However, I felt like it was finally time for them to finally do right by UGK.This track was vintage UGK and after hearing the song and seeing the video on MTV Jams a couple of times I was ready to hear more.Shade 45 one night and they said that they had a new UGK and Outkast track and I was fortunate to hear the "Internaional Players Anthem" which definitely gave me a sign of what I should expect from the new UGK project.Andre 3000 basically sets the pace from the beginning of the track just like he did on Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's" (Remix) and on Devin The Dude's "What A Job" from his latest disc "Waitin' To Inhale" and UGK and Big Boi finish things off strong.When I found out that UGK was releasing a double CD of new material it just made me more anxious to hear the project.On August 7th, 2007, "Underground Kingz" was released by "Richard" Chaney and Tony Snow and if you have ever been a fan of UGK you will be impressed by the majority of the material.As soon as you hear the track, you will be reminded of your favorite tracks from Pimp C and Bun B from the past.MJG, Devin The Dude and Too Short and Bun B compliments the verse well as he is always known to do."Chrome Plated Woman" is a decent track but once you put together your favorite tracks from the CD this will just end up being an average track.However, things get better fast with UGK paying tribute to Too Short's "Life Is Too Short" on "Life Is 2009"."Like That" (Remix) is clearly better than the original track that was produced by Lil Jon on Disc 2 as reviewer "Enlightened" pointed out.In reality, UGK should have just made this version the original track and told Lil Jon that we're not going to put the actual original version on this double CD set."Gravy" continues the trend of A+ country rap tunes on Disc 1 as you will see why you won't want to wait 6 years before there is another UGK release like we did since "Dirty Money" was released.The verses work for me, as well as, the Pimp C beat.The track basically addresses snitches and fake "trill" n***** and what they should be subject to if the boys in the neighborhood find out about them."Quit Hatin' The South" is a smooth track that samples Lattimore's "Let's Straighten It Out"."Heaven" is a change of pace as far as the lyrical content of the track.Pimp C and Bun B wonder if there is a place for the hustlers in the street after their life of doing dirt is over.The first CD ends off on a good note with "Trill N***** Don't Die".The track takes the chorus from NWA's "Real N***** Don't Die" from their "EFIL 4 ZAGGIN" CD.Ro gives a nice assist to UGK on the track and the song has you looking forward to popping in the second disc.UGK wonders how long they can live and survive in the streets based on the life that they are living.Scarface produces another banger in "Still Ridin' Dirty".The track puts you in the mode of a track that would have been on Face's "Untouchable" or "The Diary" CD.UGK's lyrics are on point as usual and you will have yourself wishing that Scarface would have blessesd us with a fresh 16 bars on the track.However, Bun B's and Pimp C's lyrics will quickly help you forget that aspect of the track.He shoould just stick to saying this is a Jazzephizzleproductshizzle and saying "Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!!!"."Cocaine" is a track that has Pimp C talking about one of his favorite topics of choice.Rick Ross is also featured on the track and who better to make a guest appearance than the guy who was "Pushin' It To The Limit" all last year."Real Women" basically ends up being a remix to Raheem DeVaughn's "Guess Who Loves You More" that was featured on The Love Experience.Talib Kweli also blends in very well on the track.Talib Kweli also has UGK and Raheem DeVaughn on a track entitled "Country Cousins" that is supposed to be featured on his upcoming CD Ear Drum that is scheduled to be released on August 21, 2007.Scarface definitely impressed me with his production on this track as well.Jazze Pha shows up once again on "Tell Me How Ya Feel", eventhough, I originally thought that Mannie Fresh produced the track.You'll be glad that Jazze Pha stayed off of the microphone this time around.Now for a track that you would have never expected on a UGK CD: Marley Marl produces a track that has UGK, Big Daddy Kane and Kool G.This track is definitely nice, however, as much as I like UGK, I never thought that I would hear Bun B out rap Big Daddy Kane.UGK's performance on the track, as Kool G.Rap gives them a run for their money on "Next Up".Joe produces the track just as nice as the work that he did on early Scarface CDs and on my favorite UGK CD, "Ridin' Dirty".As a bonus, you get a version of "International Player's Anthem" with Three 6 Mafia, a chopped and screwed version of the same track, "Top Drop Dyne" with Cory Mo and a track entitled "Hit The Block" which features TI and is produced by Swizz Beatz."Hit The Block" may grow on you after awhile but you will clearly see why it was a bonus track.There are times when the CD gets repetitive, especially when Pimp C and Bun B start to rhyme similar lines in different songs, but there aren't enough faults on this 2 CD set to not give "Underground Kingz" a solid 4 to 5 star rating.My personal rating would be a 4.Overall, I have to applaud Jive Records for once for finally doing right by UGK.UGK had to do to get Jive to step their game up but the final product gives you over 20 tracks from UGK that are vintage "Ridin' Dirty" UGK and that's all I can ask for as a consumer with the rap game the way it is now.UGK and Jive Records deserves alot of credit for this release.If you like any of UGK's previous releases you should pick up this double CD set.Was this review helpful to you?Rap Veterans UGK (Pimp C, A.Ro, Scarface, Jazze Pha, Rick Ross, Dizzee Rascal, Pimpin' Ken, Talib Kweli Raheem DeVaughn, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, T."Gravy" are both on point contributions, found myself feeling the later more and more with each play.UGK rep southern rap with pride while talking to the haters on "Quit Hatin' the South", which features some soulful vocals from singer Charlie Wilson and an appearance from Willie D of the Geto Boys.On "Heaven", UGK contemplate on what the next life is going to be like for all the hustlers.RO who got out of prison last month.UGK talk to the lord on the disc two opening track ""How Long Can It Last", while Charlie Wilson delivers some soulful background vocals.Rick Ross and UGK provide a laidback track rhyming over some mellow production on "Cocaine".UGK then bring in English rapper Dizzee Rascal for "Two Type of B*****".The follow up track is a reversal of the former as UGK go on to pay tribute to the "Real Women" providing a upbeat quality track which features appearances from MC Talib Kweli and up and coming singer Raheem DeVaughn.Scarface laces UGK with smooth production on the laidback "Candy" which is track to cruise to.UGK delve deeper with "Shattered Dreams" feat.Kool G Rap on the Marley Marl produced "Next Up".Another standout track for me is the somber "Living This Life", UGK shine on this track rhyming about looking for a better life, in a track which samples the Goodie Mob and Al Green (Free).One of the highlights of this release for me was having many of the South's Rap veteran's on the same album."Underground Kingz" is a quality album worth adding to the collection.Was this review helpful to you?UGK album before now (i know...But i've been hearing about them for years on various tracks with Jay Z and others.Bun B but that couldnt be helped.Anyways i had knowledge of them and decided that i would buy the cd.While there are a few songs that i'm not feeling most of the tracks on the cd were on point even when it seemed kind of repetitive.UGK would come back with another hot track and hot rhymes as well.Its always great to see artists out there hustling and doing there thing for years despite the lack of backing by there label.But no more now UGK is up in this piece for real and they are as trill as they wanna be.UGK is here to set the rap game straight and the fakers as well.Underground Kingz is straight classic rap with some nice featured artists by UGK never get lost in any of that.Bun B in this piece for a long time.But you don't need to even question.Then buy Underground Kingz by UGK, you can't lose with this one at all.UGK has been through ups and downs in the game.They put out 4 classic album on Jive Records that were poorly promoted.Just want to start this off by advising that if this CD is not rap album of the year its a crime...Published 1 month ago by Delante A.CD a week ago from Amazon.UGK cd i've bought.THE LEGENDS ARE BACK 4.More country rap tunes for ya a**.Bun B and Pimp C been on the grind for a long minute.It's UGK what more can u say!!!Best Rap CD of 2007
I must preface this review by saying that I've never been a fan of either Bun B or Pimp C before buying this cd.Published 3 months ago by C.They did it Again
