BALLERIFIC MUSIC REVIEW: UGK: UGK 4 LIFE

Whenever you pop in a UGK album, you know you're in for a treat. Classic riding music at its best. Bun B, the remaning member of UGK has returned with yet another instant classic with their sixth studio release UGK 4 Life.They are the best to have done it, hands down. Staying consistent with each album the UGK legacy will forever live on.

No matter what one says about UGK they make original gangstas look very classy. As raw as their lyrics come they breathe life to barren fields. The opening, very eerie, echos Pimp C, "Back from the Dead, still UGK 4 Life" is just a preview for whats to come for the remainder of the disc. With the lead single, Da Game Been Good To Me, they keep it 100, something they've been known for, which is why they're heavily respected in the game & South.

They have a signature sound that will never grow old. Go head & grab your favorite brown liquor of choice, you're going to want to savor each track. They definitely know how to please their fans & critics alike.

It just wouldn't be fair to give a blueprint of the entire album for I guarantee you its CLASSIC, features & all, minus Hard As Hell feat Akon, its less to be desired, for it doesn't flow. Not to mention Akon's voice is annoying. However, pay attention to The Pimp & The Bun feat Ron Isley, Swishas & Erb, She Luv It & Still on the Grind feat Raheem Devaughn.

Its hard to believe Pimp is no longer here in the present, but his spirit lives on through the entire album. Bun B does a magnificent job in holding down UGK. Others might try & emulate, but there will always be one UGK & one Pimp C, after all, they're UGK 4 Life!
