bin vom 2 Trill Album mehr als enttäuscht..1 oder 2 gute Tracks sind drauf, aber ansonsten ging echt gar nichts...

Hab sie noch nich gehört die neue aber die feats sind echt mal abschreckend.Die erste hab ich zwar in der Sammlung aber auch nur wegen dem Draped Up Remix , wirklich heiß finde ich die nämlich auch nicht.Werde die 2. aber irgendwie irgendwann mal hören , wenn da nur ein paar WIRKLICH gute songs drauf wären würd ich mir die zulegen

sooo schlecht isse nun auch wieder nicht.

keep it 100, underground thang, pop it 4 pimp, swang on em oder der bonus track von der best buy-version city of the swang mit thugga und dyke jones gehen ganz gut rein.
und you're everything wäre ohne die features auch ganz cool.

was fehlt ist irgendwie der pimp c/ugk einfluss, son countrymäßiger beat wie the story von der ersten und die ganzen hässlichen features müssten auch runter. keine ahnung was der sich bei diesem track mit mya gedacht hat...

mehr mr. lee und cory mo anstatt scott storch und jazze pha

so siehts aus

find ich auch

das Teil ist einfach nur übelst schlecht

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.
