UGK – “Something Good”īall and G’s Comin’ Out Hard was a powerful debut on Tony Draper’s Suave House Records. Round 1: 8Ball & MJG – “9 Little Millimeta Boys” VS. With all that out of the way, let’s get into it. That’s not to say 8Ball & MJG didn’t enjoy their own success and their signing to Diddy’s Bad Boy South brought about hits such as “You Don’t Want Drama.” They have also featured on some of the South’s best club hits such as David Banner’s “Gangster Walk” and Three 6 Mafia’s “Stay Fly.” Unlike some of the other Verzuz battles, there was never any bad blood between the two and this was expected to be an exciting family affair. Their 2007 hit “International Players Anthem (I Choose You)” featuring Outkast is still a floor-filler 15 years later, and their feature on Three 6 Mafia’s “Sippin’ on Some Syrup” is a staple in both of their catalogs. UGK definitely has the advantage because they enjoyed more mainstream success. Despite Pimp C’s tragic passing in 2007, UGK’s legacy still shines bright with remaining member Bun B standing tall on the Verzuz stage. The two are both duos, so it makes sense that they’d go head-to-head. Still, it was a bit tougher this time around with 8Ball & MJG hailing from Memphis and UGK being one of the most successful acts out of Port Arthur, TX (although they are often seen as synonymous with Houston). Despite what the title says, I am actually very biased as a huge Southern rap fan. If you’ve read my previous round-by-round, you know the drill. If you blinked, you would’ve missed this historic matchup as it was only announced three days before it happened.
There are few things that can get me out of bed when I’m submerged in the plush memory foam, crochet project in hand with Detroiters on the television: my dog’s whining and a good Verzuz.
