With the untimely passing of Pimp C two years ago, most thought it was the end of UGK. However, surviving member Bun B carried on the group’s legacy and orchestrated one final album, the appropriately titled UGK 4 Life. Despite already being an established solo artist, Bun still found it difficult carrying the Underground Kingz crown without his partner in rhyme. The Port Arthur, Texas native pushes on, steadily promoting the album and making sure that fans don’t forget the Pimp C’s name. In fact, a full eight months after releasing the LP, Bun B just dropped a remix video for “She Luv It,” featuring Slim Thug and Killa Kyleon, last week. XXLMag.com caught up with the Texas titan, who’s completing his third solo album Trill OG, to discuss how he got his wife to agree to a strip club video shoot, how he knew 50 Cent before he got shot and respond to commenters labeling Pimp one of the funniest rappers of all time. XXLMag.com: How difficult has been promoting UGK 4 Life without Pimp being around?

Bun B: I think the biggest issue I had was the emotional factor. We were very fortunate that Pimp left a lot of good music. It was just important that we weren’t exploiting this project, that we did justice to it and weren’t taking advantage of the situation.

XXLMag.com: Y’all just dropped the “She Luv It (Remix),” which was shot in a strip club. How’d the whole idea come together?

Bun B: The idea actually came when I got a call from someone hosting parties at a strip club in Houston called the Player’s Club. I don’t normally do anything at strip clubs because I’m married, but it came to a point where they offered a lot of money and even my wife was like, “You can’t turn that down, it’ll be crazy.”
