Free Music Review: Best UGK Lp?
Hit: 5 Stars
Yeah- but you gotta burn a mix (after you buy it gotta support tha real). Every other UGK album knocks front to back (try me if you don't believe) but you gotta drop about 6 songs off this one then put it on one cd. After that, Tony Snoww and Dick Chaney rip this joint up just like they always do. Quit Hatin and Shattered Dreams are my favorite tracks but they all knock xept for a couple. They used Pat's beat (3-6 produced) on International Players Anthem and you can't really blame them for using the beat again that is on that peeemp tip. Best album to come out the south for a minute. Pimp C drops some more dope tracks on y'all haterz. UGK has been more consistent for longer than any group out there (Roots crew right up there too), even Scarface, 8ball and MJ fkn G, Goodie Mob all fell off from their peak albums but not these boyz (Outkast and 3-6 less so but they still fell off some). Their albums knock in every hood in the 50 states and can't everybody say that, think about it... and quit hatin Da South foooow!Free Music Review: Still got a pocket full of stones

UGK just like the geto boys helped to form hip hop in the south. Spittin for well over a decade the underground kingz are back with an impressive release. This double album has some good tracks and lyrics to entertain even a newcomer to the group. Filled with guest appearances that range from dope (kweli and big daddy kane) to wack as hell (rick ross) the album has something for everyone to enjoy. As with any double album you are going to find some garbageg that is on the album due to the number of songs on the cd. Roughly 85% of the album is dope though. My biggest complaint is some of the songs have repetitive subject matter, for example there are a couple of songs that are dedicated to their cars (chrome plated woman and candy). Some of the songs that have the same topic sound like the same song with a different beat. Other than that this album is a good release and worth buying.Free Music Review: Bout Time- A Return To Form By The Kaaaangz

Finally this long awaited album has been released, the first UGK collective since 2001's Dirty Money, and like that album, it was delayed for quite a while and pushed back. Dirty Money was hot, but I think this one may even be better, dare I say it. The whole 2 disc set features UGK stickin to the script lyrically, good rider anthems, fun pimpin joints(unlike the played out dry ones that plague the airways today), some good gangsta tracks, and some deeper tracks over high quality production (for the most part). The producers include, Pimp C on a big chunk, N.O. Joe, 3-6's Juicy J and DJ Paul, Scarface, Jazze Pha, Lil Jon, and a myriad of lesser knowns, and even though the album is in step with the times, for many of the songs have a mainstream crunk and bounce beats, others pay hommage to the old-school ways. There are some smooth funky joints that reminisce of the UGK of the 90's, many of which were produced by N.O. Joe, Pimp C and Scarface. There is more of a mainstream feel lyrically on many; guests include, Too Short, OutKast, Dizzee Rascal, Slim Thug and a few others. I will say, more mainstream or not, I love the vibe of this album. Too Short and UGK remake Short's Life Is...Too Short in "Life Is 2009," with a similar beat to the original, but with more twang and bounce. Marley Marl produces a funky beat with Big daddy Kane and Kool G Rap dropping some old school style rhymes on "Next Up." Juicy J and DJ Paul create a Crunk-soul atmosphere on the relaxed banger "Int'l Players Anthem (I Choose You)." UGK exclaim why they have the streets sowed on "The Game Belongs To Me" with a smooth Texas Swang N Bang beat. N.O. Joe creates a slow rollin and twangy beat on "Cocaine", and Pimp C discusses how he was maintaining until Cocaine entered his life; Bun B drops some knowledge and history about it, while Rick Ross hustles it. UGK and Willie D pump up the south and explain why it rules, and if you don't like it, tough; the South is on hit, and is here to stay. "Shattered Dreams" is another smooth joint by Pimp C with some deeper life philosophy, dropping serious knowledge. We have the obligatory funky fun rider anthems like "Candy," produced by Scarface, which are for the six-fo's. Some mediocre mainstream crunk joints like the Lil Jon produced "like That" and like "Hit The Block" with T.I. with a weaker Swizz Beatz beat are too mainstream for me. Even if they are not for you like it they are not for me, do not let joints like those deter you because the other joints are phat. Overall, the filler is not enough to overpower the good ones. This album is definitely a UGK album, and the beats and lyrics are vintage UGK, and remind you why THEY are the kings of Texas, the south, and the underground, and hopefully, they will rule the mainstream!!! Pimp C's and Bun B's flows aer in tact, and they never fell off in my opinion. I hope this album sells at least 5X platinum! This album is a fitting album and what the mainstream needs, some trillness! Let's hope we don't heve to wait until 2012 or 2013 for the next album. Maybe they will hook up with Rap-A-Lot, who won't screw them over, and release an album sooner with as much ambition and fire as this one.Free Music Review: Rap-A-Lot Mafia Life

This became a instant classic and I don't care what nobody says, definitely one of the hardest (double) albums of all time.
