Bun B Talks Life After Pimp C says "Trill OG" Album On Deck


UGK's Bun B recently discussed how he has been able to move forward nearly three years after the passing of his rap partner Pimp C and announced plans to release a new solo project called Trill OG.

For the Texas-based emcee, controlling his overall feelings after Pimp C's December 2007 death has been the most difficult.

"I think the biggest issue I had was the emotional factor," Bun revealed during an interview. "We were very fortunate that Pimp left a lot of good music. It was just important that we weren't exploiting this [UGK 4 Life] project, that we did justice to it and weren't taking advantage of the situation...I just started on a Trill OG, which is targeted for the first quarter next year to take advantage of the Superbowl weekend, All-Star weekend, MAGIC convention and all these opportunties where you can market and promote yourself to a lot of people in one time. At the Superbowl weekend you can touch 100,000 people in one weekend. We dealing with a lot of people, working with J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, Cool & Dre, DJ Premier, in-house producers... So I'm just gonna try and offer people music that makes sense for the club, car, iPod and at the stadium." (XXLMag)

Bun is also putting together a Pimp C solo project called The Naked Soul Of Sweet James Jones.

"We're trying to do this with as much respect as possible, you know?" Bun B said. "It's a very unique and genuine situation in itself. I'm not really sure if it's ever really occurred as far as hip-hop goes. We're carrying this one with the kid gloves on. I made a lot of mistakes in my life -- I'll probably make a lot more -- I'm just praying I don't make one right now." (MTV)

The rapper previously discussed the difficulty he had working on his first group project without Pimp C earlier this year.

"This is the first time I had to do so much on an album," Bun said during a listening session for the album. "I usually would just come to the studio, drop my verse and C would take care of everything else that had to be done with the record." (Ballerstatus)

Their collective UGK 4 Life effort landed on the charts last April.

Southern rap group UGK released their final group album UGK 4 Life which opened at No. 6. With seven days under their belt, the late Pimp C and Bun B's final disc sold 76,600 discs. (Sales Wrap)

No further details on Trill OG have been revealed as of now.

Miley Cyrus won’t be taking her boyfriend to the Academy Awards. The 'Hannah Montana’ actress – who is set to present an award at the forthcoming Oscars – is reportedly worried her appearance at the prestigious ceremony will be overshadowed if she is accompanied by Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. A source revealed: 'Liam’s a pretty low-key guy anyway, he doesn’t mind not going.' However, Miley won’t be walking down the red carpet alone at Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre on March 7. Her representative said: 'She’s taking her mom, Tish.' Miley and Liam have never officially confirmed their romance, though the 17-year-old 'Hannah Montana’ star has previously admitted her closeness to the 19-year-old actor has helped boost her confidence. She said: 'We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very down low. First and foremost, we are best friends, so that's what I tell people all the time "All you want is for on...

Lil Boosie Violates Probation, Judge Doubles Jail Time

Image
Lil Boosie is behind jail sooner than expected after failing to follow a judge’s instructions. According to Louisiana news network, WAFB, the Baton Rouge rapper showed up in court on Monday (November 9) for violating the terms of his probation, and a judge sent him directly to jail when his electronic ankle monitor revealed numerous infractions. As previously reported, Boosie copped a plea deal back in September for a drugs and weapons charge in 2008. In order to avoid trial in the case, he pled guilty and the judge agreed to only sentence him to two years, with him probably only having to serve one year on good behavior. Now Boosie’s jail time has doubled, with him having to serve at least two years behind bars. “I made some very foolish choices, but I was doing the best I could to provide for my family before I went away to jail,” he wrote in a statement. “Clearly I exercised terrible judgment and I hope to get the opportunity to prove that I can make great decisions for my family an...
