FUCK, talk about going out at the top of your game, I forgot how awe-inspiring 'Swishas and Dosha' is starting off Underground Kingz, the DJ Screw sample, the restless guitars wailing over Pimp's classic Houston slow.loud.and.bangin production, insta-classic hook - then spitting hard-as-fuck and seething, seriously goosebump-inducing even without the tragic context... Bun B making you feel like an asshole for using social networking sites! The whole song begs the question of why you are such a fucking pussy that listens to such lame non-UGK music so much -
UGK - SWISHAS AND DOSHA
- and is there any doubt that Pimp's entrance on "International Players Anthem" was pretty much the greatest single moment in recorded music in 2008?? As well as probably the realest and hardest-sounding endorsement of safe sex in the history of public health advocacy! Goddamn -
UGK ft OUTKAST - INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS ANTHEM
- SIPPIN ON SOME FUCKING SYRUP!!!! Big Pimpin! Two of the unfuckwithably best rap singles of the past 10 years! The number of amazing tracks this guy was on is off the charts -
- Whoaaa nevermind this amateur highlight reel, NOZ is seriously paying tribute over at XXL, posts and posts of absolute bangers and some great old pictures of Pimp and Bun -
- wait on top of everything else can we agree that the DJ Screw/Pimp C/Bun B troika created the only truly new and awesome form of experimental music of the past 30 years? Not to mention the first truly 21st century music, like 15 years early? This is STILL so fucking next level, and it's so harsh to think that Bun is the only one left:
UGK - 3 N DA MORNING (CHOPPED AND SCREWED BY DJ SCREW)Has any local scene in music history witnessed so many triumphs and tragedies as Houston over the past few years? So much heaviness on so many levels -
