I’ll be looking for the LP…
I met Bun in 1989! I was a senior and he was a junior in high school! We became good friends! He is a genius and a comedian by nature!He introduced me to groups like De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Divine Styler! He is a true "hip hop head"! Coming from a town like PAT, that's something I will never forget and will always give homage to the homie for that! Salute to Bernard Freeman aka Bun B! A true living legend!💯
What was he like as a person in his younger days? What was his character?
That's hella dope
What's up big cousin
Been a Kweli fan for years but being from Texas, UGK is my favorite group. I started watching this show because of the first Bun B interview
The endless knowledge that Bun B has is just insanity, and the fact he learned about owning his publishing in the first year of business is just that much powerful.
It kind of explains more about him. Gave me goosebumps listening to this one. Cant wait to see what yall got for 2023
Bun B is one of my favorite MCs. My top 5 easily. I love hearing the interviews of how UGK (RIP PIMP C) became the who they are. I’m from the DMV area but I got hip to UGK once Big Pimpin came out but I educated myself on the history of this group. And have been a fan ever since. Love Bun B, this man is as real as they come in hip hop
UGK!!! BUN!!! I was 9 yo when the album T.H.T.S. came out... my cousin's put me on, ridin around in Louisiana bumpin that tape! Been a super fan ever since! Never will there ever be another duo TRILLER = PIMP & THE BUN!
Salute to Bun and everything he has accomplished...and Jasmine got one gorgeous smile...
RIP Pimp C, respect to Bun for continuing to keep the UGK Brand alive. Great interview Talib keep up the great work.
He's back ! I still remember that first episode 🥲
Love Bun B interviews
Been here since the beginning with Bun B man!! love the show and conversations. Beautiful. And Rest In Peace to your friend Jasmin ❤️
I never knew Bun B was such a funny dude, only 15 minutes in and I can tell this is going to be a great conversation.
Great interview. I feel good growing old with my music idols.
Talib coming out strong this year 💪🏾 💯. Great content brother!
Such a dope interview! Can’t wait for the album in the meantime I’m cuing up some Talib and Bun joints. ✌🏽❤️
Tremendous interview 👏🏿!!! UGK is literally part of the soundtrack of my life 1992 on through!!!
Bun B is a lyrical GOAT but can we get a Chamillionare interview though?
I dont think it will happen. Cham doesn't do interviews.
I believe I commented on the 1st episode when y'all jokingly eluded to putting a project together and I audibly screamed. 😳 My 2 fav emcees! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm eagerly anticipating like the birth of a first born! 😬 💯 #TrillStar
The opening to “Murda” is and will always be my favorite opening ever. The way Pimp C hit you right in the face and killed the verse and Bun just kept it going makes the song flawless!!!!
Murder*
Another great interview with a REAL legend in the game who is still very relevant. Didn’t even look like Kweli was working because their conversation was so natural. Thank you for this one.
Can’t wait to hear that Madliberation 2. The first one was a mixtape favorite of mine!
Bun B is a real one. Love his interviews.
TX STAND UP!!💯 being from Dallas with an older brother I was rapping UGK in the 4th grade 😂
Im always listening when i see a new Bun B interview. One of my favorite personality in hiphop
extremely outspoken individual, Bun B is! Loved every second of this
Sorry for your loss Jasmine Leigh 🙏🏾
This is a great episode learn a lot and had a great time. Much love to y’all and everyone out there and your families. I have a huge crush on Jasmine much love to her as well and sorry for her loss 😢
Idek how to describe how great this was...I am...This was just...UGH!!! I'm just so incredibly grateful to hear these men--the greats of our culture speak on their evolution. I could listen to Bun read the telephone book. (Yeah, I dated myself, but idc.😏) Another great one in the books, Talib. 👌🏾
Shout out to Bun for keeping UGK alive and Representing for Chad Butler RIP Pimp Even though he's gone and it hurts him that his brother is gone,He has endured and stayed strong
Dirty Money is one of my favorite albums of all time, the amount of respect that is due to UGK can simply not be paid in full. RIP Pimp C.
All the episodes with the OG artists are really good. I loved this one. I don’t agree with stopping House of Cards in favor of Breaking Bad though. Haha
Bun B is freakin smart man
And so cool
And awesome podcast.
Always a great interview!👏👏👏
Pockets of stone 💎💎💎

Flatbush Misdemeanors is the show Jasmine referenced. Funny show

@@JasminLeigh we just finished the last season last week!
Thank you sir
Great interview 👍🏾
So humble. BUN B FOREVER. UGK4L.
Flatbush Misdemeanors is the show she was talking about
dope show... enjoyed it!
Met the BK MC back in 07ish in Houston ironically with Bun. We were out back @ Warehouse Live. I still got that pic somewhere. Being from BK myself living in Tx
Should be a dope episode
Another great one!!!
Because Im Paranoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could listen to Bun B all day erryday........My comfort sleep is always Frasier and The Larry Sanders Show. In my honest op........Larry Sanders is the coolest and most groundbreaking show to never clean up at Award ceremonies. The Wu ep and the Chappelle ep are reasons why Garry Shandling is the GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best interview ever.
Great show as always and jasmine hair is popping 👍
Love what you've been doing and need a Lil Wayne and Mack Maine track again #Celebrate shout out to Bun #Legend in his own right! Thanks for telling Birdman keep Wayne in that studio

We need to protect both of these black men at all cost !!!!
Lol u sound concerned..U think they tryna protect yo ass..DIDNT THINK SO ..calm down stop being easily influenced by WHAT..THEM 😆😆 sad
@@djstatz far from influenced slick …..all I was saying is that two intelligent black man should be held at a high regard sir !
@@Son1UPTu I agree when it's for the right thing but who says them to on the panel are standing up for us is what I'm saying open your eyes
@@Son1UPTu and reread what I said protection you think these rappers people you look up to are in the form of protecting anybody besides themselves I'm not a yes man I'm an understanding
@@djstatz dude I don’t care that they rap there two black men doing some positive stuff in the communities where they live and we need more young men to look at guys like this!
i love BB BERGERS 🎉♥️♥️ MUCH LOVE ♥️♥️❤️💯💪🏼💪🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼✌🏼♥️
The show is called Flatbush Misdemeanor
Respect....💯💯🤙
The most player part of Houston country rap tunes is how they used to take a bar from a song and make it the hook.
Talib you need to do that style again like you did on Real Women.. no lie fam, shit was 🔥🔥🔥
On your song the last ones with styles p, the first 20 seconds of the song would have been the perfect hook
Bun so genuine
31:30 hilarious 🤣🤣😂 BUN
Burgers 🍔 trill🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro I really wanna try one for real...I wish he would come to NC and set up shop...those burgers be looking delicious asf
Country Cousins!!
Bushwick Misdemeanor is the show Jasmine was talking about!
Ugk🔥🔥🔥
Bun talk that talk
He damn sho right about black folks find any excuse to get off the phone 😂 😂😂😂
I’m a new yorker from Brooklyn Jay z my dude but touched by UGK is better than 99 problems!!! ✊🏾
I have to admit I completely misjudged Bun B based on the content of a lot of his music. He's far more intelligent, humble and articulate than I expected. I'm happy to be taught a lesson not to assume a mam talking about pimps and hoes can't be a smart well-rounded man
He fooled all y'all..he ain't no Street nigga...Pimp Was..This nigga was teaching pimp math and bun got embarrassed when pimp said that shit..had that nigga embarrassed..he ain't trill he 🤓
Wish he would of asked about chamillionaire and him possibly being an underrated MC. Dope interview though.
So blessed to have grown up in Detroit where every house has a driveway, garage, and backyard where we could park our cars. We could park on the streets no problem as well...the only thing you have to worry about is someone stealing your shit though.😂
Yep! Lol! Only in the south and the midwest where we can do all that. Also me being from Texas, we always got to stay strapped because we worry about someone breaking into our house and stealing our cars.
@@SoulOfTheSouth Same here fam. Michigan, especially Detroit is an open carry state and city. Everybody strapped. Lol.
l think she was talking about Flatbush Misdemeanors tv shows
🐐🐐🐐🐐 of the south
Peaky Blinders def the joint.
Also: Top Boy
Hol up Talib Best Hamburger in the world Craig? Looking ass😃
The pimp and the bun .. my personal best
An interview with Q Tip or LL Cool J would be awesome
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love
Ol girl leather button up is too hard
1:10:47 is it tho hilarious 🤣🤣😂😂😉😉
That's a sacrifice...
23:39 WOW learn something new ERR DAY 👁️👁️ BLINK BLINK
11:30
Let me tell yall something, NY subway got rats while other Metros around the globe dont, it's New York that is a problem, not the subway.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥21GOOSE
🏆🏆🏆🏆
10:10 - “public transportation is so incredible” - Have Talib ever been to China?😂😂😂 Chinese public transportation IS incredible - no bums, no bombs, no freaks. It’s clean, fast, safe and air-conditioned
Yo son Seth is my man from my block. Crown street.
Let’s go💨💨💨💨
The Professor
If you don’t love the good brother Bun B, then I don’t trust you.
1:06:49 HELLO 👁👁 BLINK BLINK
Heads up eyes open is easily your best song. Second would probably be something off fuck the money. Anyone who says your later shit is whack is buggin because fuck the money was a dope record. And radio silence
🎉
Y'all got Black Trump on the podcast!!!
Nobody in my New York family drives.
Why did all the good hip-hop channels just stopp? I'm guessing too many numbers .now I see they not just trying to kill or hip-hop but now they trying to kill us too
If you are looking on TH-cam, they arent as common here, as they might be on Spotify or Apple because of an artist's deal. Also. TH-cam is censoring more n more, so hip hop probably gonna have to be careful on here.
Good shows in general are hard to come by,
but Danny Browns podcast is pretty funny
