I voted undecided.

the negatives for me with UGK is a good amount of the verses are subpar. and this was before bun b ramped up.
8ball & mjg were better rappjng but the album dragged at times. also, the knock that I always had on 8ball & mjg is that their styles are too similar to each other.

REALLY easy for me. It's gotta be Super Tight. That record put me on to UGK.

How many times have you been high as shyt, hearing those little weird sounds on 3:16's thinking your phone was ringing????? Or is that just me?

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..

i mention be4 bout ricky royal bein bun b's ghostwriter...

bun n pimp pretty much looked up to rick n the flush..

his entire flow on murder..is rick...

listen to ricks flow on live wire connect



rick also was ghostwriting for bo$$



he wrote prolly 80% of her rhymes

they ended up in dallas back in the early-mid 90s on k104...n rick useta break every rapper in the city off ..off the head when the org had 6-10 slot


(this useta spin everywhere when he got back to rappin in dallas)






i remember gettin this cd

Both of these are my favorite album from either group. I'm leaning towards Super Tight tho.
