Ball n g gets this..

even though super tight is my favorite ugk album...n one of my favorite southern albums of all time..

reason why is..everything ball n g did on ototw was original...

super tight is a mixture of 2 albums..u can go back in listen to em...n tell me..i aint lying

wc n the mad circle aint a damn thang change... n the chronic...

its both of those albums with a texas twist..

"all the time im bumpin wc...kuz he the only one makin sense to me" pimp told u..

their first album was their version of ricky royal's n royal flush's album 976-dope (they idolized them boyz)..i spoke on gangsta rick aka cocoa budda bein close to bun during his livewire connect n rydin dirty days..n when they stopped fukkin with each other..bun bars fell off...

super tight is = the chronic n aint a damn thang change..

rydin dirty = was made like a screw tape...

dirty money = got scrapped n pushed back so much..thats jus a patched up album..

Def agree with this...I mean front back side to side is straight up west coast with a church organ..."I got 16 switches like Dre"

Pimp also said on another song (not this album) "Dr Dre of the south, ya better watch ya mouth..."

Texas and the west (esp Oakland) always had similarities.

But Super Tight is still the better of these 2 albums to me. Just cuz there's influences doesn't hurt it at all. Pimp killed those tracks...Return, Protect & Serve, Underground...just unbelievable beats. Everybody is influenced by everybody.

On top of the world is classic as well to me. And I think MJG is one of the most underrated rappers ever

"I'm thinkin bout hard times, freeing my mind, who in f*ck gon be my crutch, holding me up, helping me out, making sure that I stay in touch...:wow:

My nikkas, I was a 14 year old kid from NJ. I went down to kick it wit my cuz and unc for Spring Break when they were at school in the A. Had know idea that this was Freaknik, I was young and green. My older Cuz got acclimated to the southern culture and put me on to both groups while I was down there. But Ball & G stayed gettin played down there. Space Age Pimpin was my theme song for 2 years.

So few votes. People of The Booth, do yourselves a favour and listen to these albums. Super Tight is waaaay better IMO but On Top of the World is pretty good too.
