Album Description
It's been a while, and UGK has a lot to say! Underground Kingz is a special 2 CD set! Not only that, folks celebrating UGK's return are a veritable who's who of the inner circle, and they lined up to lend their talents for UGK's eighth. They include Three 6 Mafia, Lil Jon, Scarface, Too $hort, T.I., Rick Ross, Slim Thugz, Andre 3000, and more! In 2006, UGK is free and pimpin' again - just like you wish you could. Their highly anticipated, star studded, and no-holds-barred release is simply put...the perfect stocking stuffer!
Amazon.com
For starters, some props. Thanks to Scarface and especially Joshua Lopez, the pair of overly indulgent discs on UGK's 29-track opus boasts the best hip-hop guitar work since the turn of the millennium. Almost to the last track, Texans Chad "Pimp C" Butler and Bernard "Bun B" Freeman coax deeply visceral, classic soul-funk mojo from their collaborators on the six-strings. UGK once helped put the Houston rap scene on the national map, circa albums like Super Tight?(1994) and Ridin' Dirty (1996), but Underground Kingz celebrates Pimp C's release from a three-year incarceration. Fittingly, a various and pedigreed roster of guests drops respectful cameos, including Talib Kweli ("Real Women"), Too Short ("Life is 2009"), Outkast and Three 6 Mafia ("Int'l Players Anthem"), Big Daddy Kane ("Next Up"), and Dizzee Rascal. Lyrically, most of this double-hammer drops in verses short on skill and long on cliché. But there's an awful lot here, and moments really stick. The choral harmonies of "The Games Belong to Me," for example, move in impeccably languid cool, sashaying across the stereophonic spectrum in rock-solid testament to UGK's continued provincial dominance. --Jason Kirk

sweet jones
bun-b is one of the most respected cats in hip-hop and is crazy lyrical too. pimp c (RIP) had some of the illest swagger hip hop has ever seen (I pack an iron e'ry time and i aint tryin die...pssy ngga <--haha, i love dat sht!)
this is my favorite album from 07 hands down, and Int'l playas anthem was my favorite banger from the year too. It's groups like UGK that make me wonder how people hate on the south period
I love this album, it still gets pretty heavy rotation on my deck
One of the BEST rap albums of 2007
Hands down classic material, hardly any skippable tracks. You should check out every UGK album too, ESPECIALLY their solo albums. Pimp C and Bun B have been making classic material for YEARS.
These beats are full of country twang, and deep tight bass. The lyrics are very creative for typical rap topics, slick and witty. Both discs are full of great songs, especially the first. UGK REALLY shines on this album and you should REALLY pick it up if you like rap even a little bit.
The songs are especially great to ride to, they will make you feel like your on top of the world. Great old school/new school rap tunes. Their are a lot of guests but thats not a problem, Pimp C and Bun B have enough mic time and they SHINE.
For a quick taste peep "Swishas and Doja", "The Game Belongs to Me", and "My Candy". RIP PIMP C, cant wait for the new (and last) UGK album!
LAST HURRAH
Being this album is a double disc, there is bound to be some throw aways. But surprisingly there weren't too many. Most of the beats are great, both rappers don't slack off with the rhymes, you can tell they mean what they say. Too bad Pimp C died because loads of stuff on this album has become some of my favorite UGK material, they also would have made better stuff in the future so it's sad to see something like that end, he was a great producer and I loved his raps as well. The only thing I disliked was the guest spots, nothing great and it's better just the 2 of them.
