UGK Album: “Dirty Money [PA]”

Description :

UGK: Pimp C, Bun B. <p>Additional personnel includes: Kool Ace, Too Short, Devin The Dude, C-Note, Juicy J, DJ Paul, Jermaine Dupri, UGK, Eightball, MJG, Big Gipp. <p>Producers: N.O. Joe, Pimp C, J. Bido, Jermaine Dupri. <p>Recorded in Atlanta, Georgia and Houston, Texas. <p>A year after tasting mainstream success with Jigga on his hit single "Big Pimpin'" and five years after their definitive RIDIN' DIRTY, Port Author, Texas's own Underground Kingz (Pimp C and Bun-B) re-formed for their fourth major label release, 2001's DIRTY MONEY. With deep-fried southern funkadelic production that utilizes booming bass-lines, wah guitar riffs, and an array of compressed drum tracks, Pimp C's beatwork provides the ideal backdrop to the duo's back-and-forth lyrical onslaught. Largely overlooked (both commercially and critically) and under-promoted at the time of its release, DIRTY MONEY has stood the test of time and, in years since, has come to represent the best of that pure Dirty South G-Crunk before the region and its various subgenres became commercial goldmines. DIRTY MONEY features a thick guestlist that includes Eightball & MJG, Big Gipp of the Goodie Mob, Juicy J and DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia, Kool Ace, Too $hort, Jermaine Dupri, and Devin the Dude.

Rap does not get any better than this, UGK are the absolute kings of the dirty south. The album is a masterpiece, their best yet. They put Texas on the dirty map.

Buy It and buy it now! Awl'riddy!

UGK is back to drop another album in 5 years. This album has been delayed for two whole years. It was worth the wait cause this album is off da hook. They know how to keep it dirty south. I like all of the tracks. There are no other albums I own that I like every single song. My favorite song is Wood Wheel. That song is tight. Other hot tracks are Let Me See It, and the track wit 3 6 Mafia. I never heard their previous albums and everyone said they're a little better than this one but I don't care.

...the Kings done gave us 3 classic albums: too hard to swallow, super tight and ridin dirty...them three right there is about as dope as the south can get! some hard sh!t to follow fasho...and with this, they 4th full length album, they almost pull it off. almost. the production is crisp and clean, but only a few really give us that grit to sink our teeth into...this is gonna please a few folks, but compared to them dirt-tunes they done already hit us with this might leave some older fans feelin empty.

'choppin blades'and 'holdin na' are the sure-ones...and that song they got with juicy j and paul is a classic (too bad three-six dont bring it like this on a consistant basis with they albums).

this aint that fire i was waitin for, but it'll hold me over for a minute.
