In my opinion one of the best Southern rap albums ever. The list of great tracks: Hi-Life, One Day, Pinky Ring, Diamonds & Wood, Good Stuff etc.
One Day featuring Ron Isley is an absolute classic cut:
Another standout record is the smooth Diamonds & Wood:
Its an amazing album altogether though. The production is smooth all the way through, the hooks are catchy, and the lyrics are sharp and humorous.
What say you Allhiphop? Anyone else want to show appreciation for UGK Ridin ? ?

@CoolJoe mybad did'nt know it was posted

overrated album from the most overrated duo ever....
-
One day is one of the deepest songs in hip hop history smooth beat nd it makes u reflect man great album but dat song in particular hits home for me
-
"High Life" "One Day" "Diamonds & Wood" etc
This album is a definite classic. Went gold with no video.
-
I've heard on here that Bun's verse on "Murder" is one of the best in hip hop, but I always liked ? 's verse a lot more.
-
bun lost his damn mind on that track lol....but i also thought pimps verse was just as dope....they both have they're own strengths and thats what made the duo so cold
-
"Murder" is pretty raw period though. I personally thought Bun blacked out on that joint.
-
Yeah Bun's verse on Murder was saw as hell. He said he did it in one take.
Said he woke up to lay the track down and just went in
Jay Z said he bought this album about 6 times -
6 times??? lol @ anyone buying that weak ass album even once
-
? clownt that ? !

The financial success of the album without proper label promotion (videos) is a testament to UGK's ability to satisfy their audience.
If the boy Hov bought this album 6 times then I'm sure UGK was the influence behind "Big Pimpin". Jay-Z introduced me to UGK so I guess I should be thankful for that. Not many folks here in Detroit where really rocking with them. -
Alot of game was being spit on that album...

rip ? c

My conscience ? with me so much I can't eat or sleep
The other side of sellin' dope and out here runnin' the streets
And even though I'm gainin street fame comin' from this rap game
Lustful thankin' and compulsive drankin' is a normal thang
Some get erased and misplace tryin' to win the race
Some try to hold on to there place by smokin' wet lace
But see drugs and plastic thugs ain't gonna change the hood
I'm smokin' skunk and poppin' the trunk to make me feel good. -
goat record period. from beginning to end literally. the outro was one of the best songs on the album. only ppl that dont recognize this albums classic status are the typcal east coast haiting ass ? . them crab ass ? are born with hate jealousy and envy in their heart so they cant help it. but all the real ? outchea know a classic when we see it. RIP ? Chad
