I have really been thinking about this topic for a few days now and it just keeps coming back into my mind. In fact, im typing a paper for school but i had to make this thread because I simply cannot stop thinking about it.
The title might be a little missleading so let me explain it more. I have been really thinking alot about UGK alot lately. Yes im obsessed, dont care. It is a known fact that UGK is from Port Author, Texas. The south is also home to Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Mike Jones, and a slew of other rappers i really dont care for. Why is it that UGK is so unbelievably great and these artists just really can't seem to touch them with a 94 foot thousand foot pole?
When I hear UGK songs, they are songs, full length songs with deep beats. Layers of goodness moving throughout my viens. Beats that make me bob my head for years. Classics upon classics. Pimp C, the man behind the majority of UGK beats is strictly on that live instrumentation production. Not many computer sounding beats coming from the Pimp. Guitars, organs, deep bass, smooth flowing gangsta shit, oh yeah and the constant hi hat. Now on to the lyrics. UGK lyrics hyptnotize me.
But how come i can listen to Pimp C talk about wood this, rims this, coca this, bitch suck my dick and slurp that shit etc etc etc (oh yeah cant forget "When she pop it from the back you see the hairy asshole"). And when i hear another rapper talk about these sorts of things i automatically think that they are a below par rapper. For some reason when i hear pimp rap i just think its raw, its pimp, its always been pimp. But when i hear others rap similar lyrics i think they are corn balls.
Basically, my whole point of making the thread is are YOU a fan of a group a rapper in particular that breaks the mold of your usual listening requirements??????
