Second single off II Trill. Featuring Rick Ross, David Banner & 8-Ball & MJG..and the ghosts of Jo-Jo & K-Ci.

Best damn song on the album. Period.

Despite II Trill being Bun B’s second solo album, both have been Pimp C’s just as much as his own. 2005′s Trill was a vehicle to keep an incarcerated Pimp C on the mouths and minds of everyone within earshot as Bun carried the banner of U.G.K. and Port Arthur, Texas on his shoulders. Fast forward to 2008 and due to the untimely passing of Pimp C, II Trill is dually a Bun B solo album as well as an opportunity for other’s to stop by and pay their respects to the late Chad Butler. With the loss fresh on his mind, Bun put his nose to the grindstone as he lyrically keeps this album afloat overcoming too many guest appearances and questionable beat selections.

Starting out the gate strong with “That’s Gangsta,” Bun breaks down what it exactly means to be one for anyone unsure of the term. J.R. Rotem gives him a beat strong enough to match the intensity of his words as Sean Kingston provides a great hook performance as he prepares for the second act of his career. On “Damn I’m Cold,” Lil’ Wayne puts down the styrofoam cup long enough to give Bun an adequate sparring partner as the two go back and forth on coming up in the game. Bun connects with Lupe Fiasco on “Swang On ‘Em” to set the ground rules for visitors to the South. The marching band backdrop give the two emcees a versatile sound bed where they can both spit at a comfortable pace. Read the rest of this entry »

“Hey Mr. Politician, what do ya say?

I see ya out here trying to save yourself some people today

You telling us it’s time for a change, people is dying

And the current administration doing nothing but lying

You come down to my community and tell us ya goals

To clean the system up and get the crisis under control

Claiming you can get us on track, but let’s keep it true –

The main muthafuckas keeping us off track is you

Damn near everybody running is a member of the Senate

That voted to send us to war, so ya’ll got us in it

Now the shit done hit the fan, and you trying to say

You wasn’t down from the jump, but man the shit won’t play

Ya’ll some liars, stealer’s, philanderers, and all

Got Senators sucking dick inside of bathroom stalls

Naw, elected officials, letting the dick kiss you

You’s a dirty muthafucka (so), it’s time to get cha issue, c’mon.”

Bun B’s “Get Cha Issue” off the album II Trill

Whoa! You think he’s talking to anyone in particular? Guess we won’t be seeing the Bun at any “Vote Or Die” campaigns this autumn. The traditionally reserved Underground King seems to be filling in for the outspoken antics of the late Pimp C with this scathing attack on our legislative branch. The lyrics were blunt and concise but the message was II Trill! Shit!
