As UGK, the Port Arthur duo helped elevate Texas hip-hop on the national stage and remain one of the defining acts of Southern rap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To commemorate the milestone, Bun B and his friends are hosting Been Ridin\u2019 Dirty, an evening featuring special guests including Chamillionaire, Lil\u2019 Keke, Killa Kyleon, Big K.R.I.T, Slim Thug, David Banner, 8 Ball &amp; MJG and LE$.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">More surprise guests are expected to be announced ahead of the event, which takes place Saturday, August 1, at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThis is something that we are putting a lot of thought into and trying to be very intentional about because it\u2019s a once in a lifetime experience. I\u2019m still putting it back a bit that this is actually 30 years. That\u2019s crazy that this album is still being celebrated after so many years,\u201d says Bun B, adding, \u201cI\u2019m excited to bring it to life on stage for people. I really am.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bun B says the anniversary \u201cpopped up on him\u201d and he knew he couldn\u2019t just let it go by as Ridin\u2019 Dirty is an album that represents a time that not only means a lot to him personally, but to generations of fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cLet\u2019s try to find a place where we can all come together and remember where we were at the time because music sometimes marks moments in your life. If we can get in this room and turn up with these songs and all those songs can bring back all those different memories and times past, I think we could have a really nice night of entertainment for people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Planning an event of this magnitude, Bun B and his team have been conscious about who they have chosen to participate and what each artist\u2019s catalog contributes to the themes of Ridin\u2019 Dirty while honoring Pimp C and Mr. 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThere are a lot of people who care about Pimp and miss him as I do so we are very careful about who we allow to be involved with this,\u201d says Bun B about his musical partner who passed away in 2007. \u201cIt can\u2019t just be a superficial thing; we have to make sure that we are complementing Pimp C in the right way and that we are complementing Mr. 3-2 in the right way as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That careful curation reflects the way Bun B has approached preserving UGK\u2019s legacy and the passion Pimp C brought since his passing in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">More than musical partners, Bun B and Pimp C balanced one another creatively. Bun\u2019s measured lyricism complemented Pimp\u2019s outspoken personality and musical instincts, a combination that became the foundation of UGK\u2019s sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAs far as music was concerned, one of the things that I can say in all of the years that we did work together is music was never anything that we argued about. We never had any real differences because he didn\u2019t wear the same kind of clothes, or drive the same kind of cars, we didn\u2019t like the same women so we never lyrically stepped on each other\u2019s toes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIf we were talking about a subject, I know how he was going to talk about it and he knew how I was going to talk about it. Our identities were very clearly defined on all the music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Though the loss of Pimp C and other friends and collaborators has left its mark, Bun B says the evening isn\u2019t about grief. \u201cWe are here to celebrate. We don\u2019t ever want to just sit down and be sad about these things. There\u2019s a lot that we were able to accomplish that we can celebrate and the love that we can contribute to people\u2019s lives and memories that we can and should celebrate,\u201d says Bun B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The album endures not only based on their beats and carefully placed samples but also because its themes remain universal\u2014from grief and survival to hustling for opportunity and questioning the authenticity of relationships. It is a thematic album painting a vivid picture of life in Houston and really representing it as a hustle town, filled with street stories from real life experiences of survival and community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAs kids growing up you\u2019re seeing things or hearing things and as you got older, you start participating in things,\u201d says Bun B describing growing up in a hardworking town with limited opportunities for adults and kids but never losing its sense of community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe felt like a lot of people could relate to that and if not, they would definitely want to hear about it or be interested in it. We just thought we could put that stuff to paper and tell some truth about living that life in a small town and it seemed to resonate with people.All we hear about is a lot of the major cities in America, there\u2019s hundreds if not thousands of small towns that we never hear about at allso we wanted to be one of those groups that tell some of those stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe were very ambitious as a group with this album. Pimp had big dreams about the music and trying to get it executed and N.O. Joe helped us execute that stuff and put it in the right studio and the right position to be able to make the best version of an album we could possibly make because that was our dream, to make an album that would be something that people would love,\u201d says Bun B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nearly three decades later, Ridin\u2019 Dirty remains one of Southern hip-hop\u2019s defining records. Even without any singles or videos to push it forward, Ridin\u2019 Dirty peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 67,000 copies in its first week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIt is a very singular album because not many albums are made like that anymore. It did have a theme to it and all of that was intentional from Pimp of what this album was supposed to be, how it was supposed to feel and how it\u2019s all connected, and it still resonates in the same way in a very real way to this day. We really were trying to make big music. We were young and you couldn\u2019t really tell us we couldn\u2019t and we didn\u2019t believe that we couldn\u2019t and it\u2019s only with that kind of audacity that you can create something that stands the test of time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a title=\"Hip-Hop hats, buckets, snapbacks, beanies.\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bun B credits his experiences in Houston with helping him become the artist and person he is today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019ve been given so much from this city,\u201d says Bun B. \u201cIt\u2019s helped me become the man I am, to have the family I have, the career that I have and to have been able to build up the bond with the people. All those things have been given to me and much more from this city.
