UGK easily distinguishes themselves from the pack. There have been plenty of rappers to ball, floss, earn money and get rich over the years.

Even when UGK couldn’t record or tour together, Bun B kept the group’s name in the public eye with lots of guest appearances on other records, shouting out “free Pimp C” every time. Nobody in the group has any legal problems right now, so other than an escalating feud between Lil Troy and Pimp C, there’s nothing stopping the group from touring and supporting a new album. They’ve long since been established as veterans of the rap game, so there’s little to no doubt that their sound and steelo work. In 2007 there are no such impediments to UGK’s success. Just when things seemed set to jump off after dueting with Jay-Z on “Big Pimpin'” the group went on hiatus as Pimp C had to do a bid in prison.
Unintentionally cursed by their own name, UGK was popular among hardcore hip-hop fans but seemed to always fall short of mainstream success.

UGK has been all about putting the ‘G’ in hip-hop ever since they first splashed on the scene with a “Pocket Full of Stones.” UGK defines their underground with country accents, raps about hustling and struggling, and a distinctive vocal pairing between the high pitched C and the deep voiced B. Before you argue that would be “UK” I think you’ll realize the rappers never wanted to be confused with the United Kingdom, so they had to put a G in it. Spell it with or without periods between the letters, it matters not to them, it’s an abbreviation for “Underground Kingz” either way. Whatever underground is one group has consistantly claimed to be it over the last two decades, and that’s the Port Arthur, Texas rap tandem of Bun B and Pimp C, better known as UGK. What IS underground? Does underground mean doing an album that’s critically acclaimed but sells poorly? Is underground a certain style of rapping and production that’s clearly antithesis of “overground” pop music? Do you actually have to BE underground to make underground music? Even if that last one seems patently absurd at face value, there’s people who will argue it’s essentially true, as the best underground records come from recording studios in smoke-filled basements. The problem is that “underground” is itself a somewhat nebulous term.
OutKast) (prod.Many rappers or duos have claimed to be kings of the underground in the last 25 years. After being shelved by Sony as a UGK and Three 6 Mafia collaboration, UGK was persistent and decided to tap OutKast instead. “Int’l Players Anthem (I Choose You)” served as the second single from UGK’s 2007 studio album Underground Kingz, and although it has gone down in Hip-Hop history as a bonafide Southern classic, it originally struggled to see the light of day. As one half of the beloved Atlanta rap outfit OutKast, Three Stacks earned his place in the hearts of Hip-Hop enthusiasts by truly being himself, and one song that truly exemplifies André’s individuality is UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem (I Choose You).” May 27 marks the 46th birthday of one of Hip-Hop’s all-time favourite Geminis: André 3000.
