I don’t know how many posters on here actually old enough to remember tha 90’s musically like that but I’m sorry to tell y’all that UGK was always “regional” ...like not even southern but like regional regional...I’ve been in tha south for 30 yrs now and when no limit, 8 Ball n MJG and groups like that were “poppin” wasn’t nobody not from Texas, Louisiana and tha surroundings states talkin’ about UGK...I went to damn near every bike week, Daytona and Freaknik and nobody was listening to UGK...I don’t hate them but they didn’t gain any popularity until Big Pimpin’...no diss just facts...and while it’s common knowledge that Ridin’ Dirty is a regional classic, not many people outside of Texas and those surrounding states talked about them like that back then...y’all can claim it’s east coast hate but I’m dead ass serious when I tell you that UGK was NOT poppin’ like that anywhere else but regionally in tha 90’s and most of their fame now comes from nostalgia

brah, my issue with this take is this is the same one that we southerners use when discussing East coast artists that were popping up north but not down here, yet we get ridiculed for this exact train of thought

i said i didnt listen to a full jay project until 2001 and niggas acted like i called their mother a bitch or something

we just wasnt fucking with him like that

A lot of niggas in DC was listening to UGK riding dirty around 97-98. Also plenty of folks was listening to that shit at Del. St. when I went up there for there homecoming around that time.

Popularity is not equal to quality.

how are feelings being hurt b/c we disagree with you?

i personally have not called you or anyone that disagrees out of your names so explain this logic that disagreeing = catching feelings?

Im just not gonna let you just say nah, go back and forth with you and you provide NOTHING to back up your opinion.

Those days over b/c you come off as mad uninformed and just are saying they not b/c you personally didnt fuck with them.

Dont get it twisted, im all about the jokes and shit, but this feelings shit that gets brought up every time one of these threads gets made is tired

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

But there’s a difference in not fucking wit Jay because you just didn’t want to and not fuckin’ wit UGK because you didn’t even know who tf they were fam...you chose to be southern bias but we didn’t know UGK existed for tha most part..

Case in point Hay by Crucial Conflict is a bigger and more recognizable song than ANY UGK solo song!! Am I sayin’ they’re better?? Nah...but I know gay video was getting play on National TV shows at a point when y’all claimin’ a top 5 hip hop group EVER was makin’ “classic” albums...gotta prove my claim to them bein’ “regional-regional” right??

They're better than UGK

@Goldie ....this true fam?? I got niggaz from DC and Virginia who were not pumpin’ UGK at any point in 97-98...and I stayed at college homecomings up and down tha east coast...FAMU HC they’d be playin’ some chopped and screwed shit but it was tha Texas boys at tha school doin’ that

Don’t do this bruh...I’m not watching that clip but I see Rick Ross in tha thumb nail...at no point did I say they were complete unknowns to industry people and southern states in close proximity to Texas...ofc Florida, Alabama, Ga, Mississippi etc people knew who they were but not like they new other southern groups at that time...it just is what it is bruh...
