20 years ago, Texas-bred hip hop duo UGK (Bun B & Pimp C) put out their first full-length album, Too Hard To Swallow. Since the release of their debut, UGK has gone on to influence two generations of emcees and hip hop heads alike. The legendary pair’s most acclaimed album, Underground Kingz, dropped back in 2007 and charted at number one on Billboard’s Top 200. There’s no doubt that Bun B and Pimp C have provided years of inspiration to the hip hop game. In their honor, UT-Austin film grad Sama’an Ashrawi has compiled a mini-documentary that explores the influence of UGK’s music outside of their home state of Texas.
