So I Get Hated On For Calling UGK Overrated

How are they local legends? That mean their music never surpassed Port Arthur TX?

How did Jay Z hear of them? I guess he passed thru PA & seen Bun B rapping at the gas station?

I never been to Texas & I'm sure UGK are praised down there but lets not act like New York doesn't do the same for Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas. You go out west & Pac is respected the same way.
 
The fact that Bun B and Pimp C's influence has spread not only though the south but to rappers overall, I'd say calling them local is stupid. You can say you may not think they're that good and that's cool, but to say they're local is just straight up hating.
 
If UGK are local legends then so os Mobb Deep....Im in Florida. We bumped UGK alllllll the time....

UGK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobb Sleep

Pimp C and Bun are legends. Stop trollin...
 
Overrated/underrated are not terms I use about music. They dont exist its in the eye of the beholder. I let people think what they want and enjoy what they want unless they start it. Then I may respond. But yeah over/underrated doesnt exist, I like what i like. If the next person is tryin to prove somethin, thats their problem. People will think your hatin if you say somethin negative about what they like.

Niggas will say UGK is overrated and then call a CNN album classic knowing Nore was apart of that?

The War Report was classic though. If you're trynna say n.o.r.e is wack now I'll co-sign but besides that ???. Niggas are riding around bumpin lil mouse but then wanna talk about "quality" when I comes to the old heads. When people like a wack artist it's all about the beats, feel, and I don't care what y'all say everyone doesn't have to be a great lyricist, etc. but when someone else likes a wack artist then we want to talk about how skilled they are.....
 
Bun B is a solid emcee and Pimp C brought that "real nigga" factor to the group. There has been "better" groups from the south, but I give UGK their props for helping bring recognition to Texas hip hop.

fixed

also Pimp brought the production & came out with the hooks, concepts to the group. Bun B came with the lyrical 16s side of the group

Pimp & Bun hardly ever recorded together. Pimp use to record the production, hooks, concept to the song etc in the morning then Bun come thru in the evenings & drop his 16s on the track. Thats how UGK mostly recorded

How is UGK overrated tho? I can understand not liking them. But they are rated right where they should be. Texas legends and veterans in this music.

Who? I've yet to hear that nigga outside of the IC and on Dedication 4 and he's on that shit by default
 
Sorry but Legends are legends regardless of how u feel personally about them. Jay and a host of other credible legends respect them. Many of they songs get sampled and re-made.
