UGK 4 LIFE
-
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

| UGK #1 Album in the Country! | | UGK REIGNS OVER THE CHARTS UGK (UNDERGROUND KINGZ) IS THE #1 ALBUM IN THE COUNTRY
Jive Records Tops The Charts For The Third Time This Summer
New York, NY ? Jive recording artists UGK, who are universally regarded as the true voices of the south, take their rightful place at the top of the Billboard?s Top 200, R&B, and Rap Album charts. This week, their 26-song, two-CD set, UGK (Underground Kingz) claims the #1 spot in the country as group members Pimp C and Bun B heat up the singles charts with their soulful smash hit ?Int?l Players Anthem (I Choose You)? featuring OutKast. Acknowledged for years by their peers (which includes hip-hop legend Jay-Z) and fans as the true ?underground kings? of the rap genre, this is the duo?s first #1 debut on all three charts simultaneously.
Houston Chronicle simply states, ??Pimp C and Bun B?s own dazzling dynamic should finally earn the duo its place among rap royalty.?
UGK?s double CD set recruits a cavalcade of superstars from the hip-hop and R&B universe including: T.I., Rick Ross, Slim Thug, Charlie Wilson, Raheem DeVaughn, Three 6 Mafia, Willy D, OutKast, Kool G Rap, and Big Daddy Kane. The star-studded collection showcases production by UGK?s own Pimp C, as well as, NY super producer Swizz Beatz, Scarface, Marley Marl and Atlanta hit makers Jazze Pha and Lil Jon. Regardless of the many guests and producers, the album can simply be described as ?original UGK material.?
UGK (Underground Kingz) will also be available in a limited-edition 26-song, two-CD set, with a bonus DVD. The DVD will contain their latest videos including ?Int?l Players Anthem (I Choose You)? featuring OutKast, in-depth interviews with UGK and special guest appearances from OutKast, T.I., David Banner, Rick Ross, Jeezy, Three 6 Mafia and much more. UGK?s current hit, the smash single ?Int?l Players Anthem (I Choose You)? featuring OutKast, is receiving strong support from radio stations across the country and the video, which contains cameos by OutKast, Three 6 Mafia, David Banner and Gipp of Goodie Mob, is in rotation on BET, MTV and MTV2.
UGK put the south on the map in 1988 with their first album release The Southern Way. Since then, the group has maintained a presence in the rap world with albums, mixtapes, indie releases and cameos on numerous prominent artists? tracks. In 2000, they made a high-profile appearance on Jay-Z?s ?Big Pimpin.? In 2005, Bun B released his first solo album Trill. The gold-certified CD debuted at #6 on Billboard?s Top 200 Albums chart and peaked at #1 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums Chart. Pimp C released his solo album Pimpalation in summer 2006. The solo effort debuted at #3 on the Top 200 and at #1 on the Hip-Hop and R&B Charts according to Billboard.
