Christopher wrote an excellent entry on UGK for this weird project being called ‘The Biographical Dictionary of Rap’. I really like how personal and honest it is and how that moves into some great comments on UGK’s very rarified sense of “trill”-ness:
“Like most people not up on southern rap, my first experience with UGK was in early 2000 when “Big Pimpin’” came out, and I kept thinking “Who the fuck is Ug-kuh?” At the time, I thought one of them was UGK and didn’t know which one. I also wondered why they were on the song, but stopped thinking about it when I heard Pimp C’s verse, which was pretty fucking great. It turned out to be a classic single, but I didn’t give the guys another thought, even after BET’s Rap City started programming a lot of southern rap around late 2000, until Spin did one of those “hip” magazine genre/sub-genre starter kits and name dropped a bunch of southern rap albums they thought were the best. The only ones I recall from the article were an 8 Ball and MJG record, and Ridin’ Dirty…”
I also wrote an entry on Big Moe; sort of an extension of what I said in my quick entry from Monday…
