Video: Bun B - “You’re Everything” (Feat. Rick Ross, David Banner, 8-Ball & MJG)

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Here’s the music video for Bun B’s “You’re Everything” alongside Officer Rick Ross, David Banner and 8-Ball & MJG. It’s definitely a celebration of southern swag.

Bun definitely came back hard this year, despite dealing with the difficult loss of his friend and partner-in-rhyme Pimp C. II Trill is still in rotation because of songs like this.

Termanology & Bun B - “How We Rock” (prod. by Premier)

Monday, July 28th, 2008


Termanology - “How We Rock” (Feat. Bun B)
Produced By: DJ Premier

“How We Rock” finds Termanology trading bars with B-U-N B, while legendary sound architect DJ Premier mans the boards. This is obviously every new rapper’s dream session. The OG, the rookie, and the Trill. To quote Bun, “With Premier on the beat and Termanology, you gotta love it.”

Term tells the backstory:

“Around the time when I released “Watch How It Go Down,” Bun B reached out to Premier and expressed interest in working with me. I ended up hanging with Bun at his birthday party in Houston and me Preem & Bun cooked up this track for my album.”

“How We Rock” is the first single from Termanology’s Politics As Usual, due out September 30th. I gather they’re also shooting a video for the song, so keep an eye out for that.

2. Trill

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Like Matt I was hoping to see Bun in the No.1 column this week, but he did fine landing at No.2. It’s not like I really expected II Trill to outtrill 3 Doors Down. Besides, 98,000 copies ain’t no joke these days.

Picking up right where we left off, I give you the 2nd part of my chat with Bun B where I ask him about the new UGK album and the possibility of collaborating with the legendary DJ Premier. Plus, you won’t believe who he picked to win the 2008 NBA championship. (User-submitted questions are in italics.)

Peep game. (more…)

Bun B Interview - Part I

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

What began as a regular interview translated into a protracted back-and-forth with Bun B when the topic drifted to Pimp C’s legacy. I made the mistake of asking Bun what measures he would take to keep his friend’s music from being exploited a la B.I.G. and Pac. I don’t know if it was his diplomatic tact at play or the hectic schedule he was working with that day (he was on a flight back to Houston for a Louis Vuitton/II Trill listening session), but for whatever reason Bun took issue with one question and passionately defended Pimp’s family over a crime they haven’t even committed.

Here’s a transcript of my conversation with Bun, raw and unfiltered. (more…)

Bun B - “Swang on ‘Em” (Feat. Lupe Fiasco)

Bun B - “Swang on ‘Em” (Feat. Lupe Fiasco)
Lupe does his best “Look, mom, I can rock a southern beat!” expression on this one.
You gotta love it though. II Trill hits shelves on May 13th.
