Ridin' Dirty (1996)

Port Arthur's UGK, Bun B and Pimp C, made swagger sound unhurried. Pimp C's warm organ and live-feel production soaks the record in Texas car culture and Gulf Coast blues, while Bun's authoritative baritone delivers hard street philosophy without raising his voice. One Day, about friends and family lost, is the track that shows how much tenderness sits under the toughness.
