I literally just moved Underground Kingz up to #2 on my tentative end-of-year list five minutes ago. And yesterday I turned in a blurb on the album for my paper's EOY list. I should probably go ask to rewrite it in light of this.

Yeah, but only two other sites report this, and they both cite that TMZ page as their source.

His 2006 solo album, "Pimpalation" reached No. 3 on The Billboard 200. But it was understood that his stint in jail affected the artist's mental and physical health dramatically, to the point where he was unable to promote "Underground Kingz" in a meaningful way.
anyone know what these health problems were?
― jhøshea, Tuesday, 4 December 2007 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link
to the point where he was unable to promote "Underground Kingz" in a meaningful way.
I didn't follow UGK before Pimp's lockdown, so I was never sure if his strange statements in interviews were just him being him or if they were the product of jail.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 4 December 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I think that was just him being him, the promotion they're referring to was probably extensive touring, more videos, etc.

My local station, which rarely strays from the Urban Top 40, just played an hour long block of UGK & Pimp's guest & solo spots. It was great.

I love almost everything UGK has ever released but that verse, and that song ultimately elevate Ridin' Dirty over the rest.
― turn in yer badge (San Te), Tuesday, 21 September 2010 13:36 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, it's powerful stuff.
that "MURDER" sample right after this somber track is always so jarring!
ridin dirty miiiiiight be my fave as well but I always go back-and-forth between it and super tight. basically, the one I happen to be listening to is my fave.

double album is great but I prefer the way bun sounds on the earlier records. also, no jazze pha.

album is solid. the Drake song is by far the worst but the rest is pretty vintage Pimp C with guests he usually guested with while he was alive. even the production was very in line with what he mighta done if he himself produced it.

as far as the production other than a few 'clubby synthy' tracks, a lot of it was some of that Texas soul'n'funk that he liked.
― it takes a nation of will.i.ams to hold us back (San Te), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 14:02 (thirteen years ago) link
the drake track, "since the 90's", "midnight", "hit the parkig lot", "colors" & even "massacre" are not really close to pimp's production style. That's half of the songs.
― sisilafami, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 14:24 (thirteen years ago) link
they're not note perfect but they're not that off in left field, some of them sound like what the guest producers did on the Underground Kingz album. they fit his style to me, *shrug*, it's not like the case of Bun B imo
