    Nah, p----'s better when you consider his singing and production, but Bun B's much better with rhyming, flow and delivery imo



    p---- could never really go off like this

    Let me amend that: Bun mastered flows and cadences really young. He might be the better rapper in a very limited sense, but I think p---- is a far, far more engaging writer, and that offsets it for me.

    Fair, p---- has more quoteables than almost any rapper, He's def the better lyricist of the two, but Bun excels in almost every other category. I guess it just boils down to what your looking for with them.

    @Fire Squad totally agree with you about the "it's like he's reading off a piece of paper" thing. I'm still not 100% sure why I don't like the album but for me.... I listen to drake cause his music sounds good and makes for easy listening. If the writing is particularly good it's a bonus. So when I find the production and his delivery uninspired... there's kinda no reason to keep listening. Was going crazy in the album thread when everyone was saying they loved it. Dunno where all this disappointment came from.

    Glad I didn't follow any of the album roll-out or anything

    Bottom line, I think we would agree that, like Outkast, the whole point of UGK is the interplay between the two. Great rap duos > great rappers in lots of ways

    That's just because all of these songs are new to us. Hype is just 6 God over some almost-Wundagurl production. Keep The Family Close uses the beat to make the second half of meme bars sound cooler the same way Know Yourself did. 9 is admittedly an improvement from the 10 Bands type s---, but a marginal one. Almost every song on Views would fit somewhere at the bottom of the top 1/4 of IYRT, but that's not saying much when it's essentially If You're Reading This 2: This Time With Dancehall!

    d--- was just about to make the point that they were both very different rappers and great in their own way, but the fact that their styles meshed so well together on a song was what made ugk legendary
