When UGK member Pimp C was released from prison in late 2005, his anxiousness to get the group back in the game after three years off was obvious. Combine this with his partner Bun B's loyalty to UGK -- he begrudgingly released a great solo album in September of 2005, just to keep the brand going -- and it sure seemed like the late-2006 street ...
UGK's third album, Ridin' Dirty, is their first to be released by a major label, which gives you some sort of indication of how far the group has gone in four short years. In that span of time, UGK scaled to the top of the small but vicious hip-hop scene in the Southern United States, creating a distinctive gangsta hybrid in the process. UGK is ...
Five years passed between 1996's Ridin' Dirty and 2001's Dirty Money, and in rap, that is an eternity. Rap tastes can easily change from one year to the next, which is why a lot of talented MCs have watched their popularity fade after only two or three albums. At any rate, Dirty Money has no problem picking up where Ridin' Dirty left off; UGK's ...

Southern Rollers: Big Gamin' is a definitive look at Southern rap, complete with 16 tracks of some of hip-hop's most raunchy players. It's a tough and raw collection, and songs from Kurupt, Goodie Mob, Xzibit, and Too $hort bust out the shot callers just fine. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
DJ 007 from the well-revered Chop Shop crew handles the chopping and screwing on this hallucinatory collection of UGK's best. He uses an old Chop Shop trick to great effect on the collection: start things off mildly and get a little freakier with each progressive track. By the time "Take It Off" comes on, tempos are crawling, making the already ...

Over the course of two discs, J-Prince Presents: Realest Niggaz Down South tends to lose its momentum with too many mediocre contributions, but the sampler does have its fair share of good moments, which will make it worthwhile at least for some gangsta and Southern rap fans. Highlights come from Scarface, Goodie Mob, UGK, Willie D, Big Mike, MC ...
Five months before Pimp C died, it seemed UGK emptied the vaults with their two-CD Underground Kingz release, but UGK 4 Life proves the group was on the creative upswing right up to their unfortunate end. Feeling planned and fully formed rather than cobbled together, the album is filled with the usual high-quality hooks, the same stone-cold ...

"Getting crunk" is the hip-hop equivalent of the alt kid's moshing. It's a communal thing, mostly fueled by Southern-fried beats and rhymes. Get Crunk, the album, is a collection of Southern-stewed hip-hop by such stalwart crunkers as Three Six Mafia, Goodie Mob, Crooked Lettaz, Lil' KeKe, and Skull Duggery. Yet it's newcomers L.G.'s (Lyrical ...

The Source Presents Hip-Hop Hits, Vol. 4 doesn't have as many pop crossover hits as its predecessors, though many of these tracks will be familiar to the hip-hop faithful. Nelly's "Country Grammar," Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady," and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "The Next Episode" are likely already registered in the consciousness of most listeners, ...
Down South Hustlers is a various artists collection that spotlights No Limit's gangsta rappers, who all lace their hardcore rap with heavy doses of funky Southern bass music. Not all of the album is first-rate, but the best artists create a deeply funky (and very profane) variation of gangsta rap that will appeal to aficionados of the genre. ~ Leo ...

Highlights come from Scarface, ...
