While often credited for laying much of the foundation for the Dirty South movement, UGK (the duo of Pimp C & Bun B) danced to the rhythm of a different drum loop (an immensely unfair and inapt turn of phrase for an act as likely to employ live musicians as sample). From their earliest days in late-1980s Houston, the pair called on a vast and eclectic array of influences to create hip-hop as it had never quite been heard before. BEST OF captures a sly selection of UGK’s singles up to the unfortunate day Pimp C was incarcerated (he would ultimately die well before his time).

Southern gangsta rappers Pimp C and Bun B formed UGK (aka Underground Kingz) in the late '80s and signed to Jive Records for their major-label debut album, 1992's Too Hard to Swallow. After second album Super Tight., UGK hit the R&B charts with 1996's Ridin' Dirty, which ascended to the number two spot.

Dirty Money followed in late 2001. Pimp C began serving at three-year jail sentence in early 2002, putting UGK on ice until 2007, when the double album Underground Kingz appeared. ~ John Bush • ORIGIN Houston, TX • FORMED 1987.
