UGK was the exact opposite.
for starters, UGK werent stars, they were regional guys.
they didnt have any national relevance until like year 15 after 1,000 constant cosigns from texas, georgia & louisianna rappers. THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
ehh. if you think scarface had nothing to do with ludacris blowing up, thats cool. but you cant turn around and credit boosie/webbie to UGK, when boosie/webbie blew up in markets where people couldnt name a UGK song.
even i myself had no clue that pimp c was involved with trill ent until years after he died.:now as for luda, it wasnt really about the scarface cosign. it was about ludacris being the launching pad for def jam south in general. it was the def jam cosign.
and i do agree that ludacris wouldve blew up regardless, but his career arc wouldve been completely different. he wouldve made that novelty rap money for a few years and wouldve been long forgotten.
