Free Music Notes for Underground Kingz
Free Music Review: LAST HURRAH
Hit: 4 Stars
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.

Hit: 4 Stars
The reason why I ask that is because it seems like the only time hot rappers release double albums is when they're about to pass on (Tupac, Biggie, and now Pimp C). At any rate, UGK's album Underground Kingz was pushed back for a while, but I'm glad it finally came out because it's a solid effort.
I'm not exactly sure why they need three versions of "Int'l Players Anthem" on here (one with OutKast and two with Three 6 Mafia), even though they all kick (although I'm not a big fan of screwed-and-chopped). Other notables include "Trill N's Don't Die" and also the interesting "Cocaine", where even Rick Ross drops a nice verse. There's also "Quit Hatin' the South", an otherwise played-out topic with a nice twist, not to mention a nice sample of Latimore's "Let's Straighten It Out".
There are a few too many guest stars on here, though (Bun's album Trill had that same problem); still, posse cuts impress, like "Take tha Hood Back"; and if "Next Up" doesn't get the party started, I don't know what's wrong. But Bun and Pimp also score with serious tracks, like "Shattered Dreams" and "How Can It Last".
Very rarely can you find a double album that doesn't have any mistakes, so there are a few of those on here. I didn't even understand the metaphors in "The Game Belongs to Me", and in the otherwise dope "Two Type of Bitches", Dizzee Rascal spends two minutes at the end doing some annoying talking. Also, while I was wondering what Jazze Pha is doing on a UGK album, his pair of productions ("Tell Me How Ya Feel" and "Stop-n-Go") actually work; but other mainstream tracks fall flat (see the two versions of "Like That").
R.I.P. Pimp C, but it's good that before he passed, he and Bun were able to finally convince heads that they really are the underground kings. Pick it up if you haven't already.
