I met Bun in 1989! I was a senior and he was a junior in high school! We became good friends! He is a genius and a comedian by nature!He introduced me to groups like De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Divine Styler! He is a true "hip hop head"! Coming from a town like PAT, that's something I will never forget and will always give homage to the homie for that! Salute to Bernard Freeman aka Bun B! A true living legend!💯

Been a Kweli fan for years but being from Texas, UGK is my favorite group. I started watching this show because of the first Bun B interview

Bun B is one of my favorite MCs. My top 5 easily. I love hearing the interviews of how UGK (RIP PIMP C) became the who they are. I’m from the DMV area but I got hip to UGK once Big Pimpin came out but I educated myself on the history of this group. And have been a fan ever since. Love Bun B, this man is as real as they come in hip hop

Salute to Bun and everything he has accomplished...and Jasmine got one gorgeous smile...

Bun B is a lyrical GOAT but can we get a Chamillionare interview though?

Love Bun B interviews

UGK!!! BUN!!! I was 9 yo when the album T.H.T.S. came out... my cousin's put me on, ridin around in Louisiana bumpin that tape! Been a super fan ever since! Never will there ever be another duo TRILLER = PIMP & THE BUN!

The endless knowledge that Bun B has is just insanity, and the fact he learned about owning his publishing in the first year of business is just that much powerful. It kind of explains more about him. Gave me goosebumps listening to this one. Cant wait to see what yall got for 2023

He's back ! I still remember that first episode 🥲

Talib coming out strong this year 💪🏾 💯. Great content brother!

Great interview. I feel good growing old with my music idols.

RIP Pimp C, respect to Bun for continuing to keep the UGK Brand alive. Great interview Talib keep up the great work.

Tremendous interview 👏🏿!!! UGK is literally part of the soundtrack of my life 1992 on through!!!

Such a dope interview! Can’t wait for the album in the meantime I’m cuing up some Talib and Bun joints. ✌🏽❤️

Been here since the beginning with Bun B man!! love the show and conversations. Beautiful. And Rest In Peace to your friend Jasmin ❤️

Sorry for your loss Jasmine Leigh 🙏🏾

I believe I commented on the 1st episode when y'all jokingly eluded to putting a project together and I audibly screamed. 😳 My 2 fav emcees! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm eagerly anticipating like the birth of a first born! 😬 💯 #TrillStar

TX STAND UP!!💯 being from Dallas with an older brother I was rapping UGK in the 4th grade 😂

I never knew Bun B was such a funny dude, only 15 minutes in and I can tell this is going to be a great conversation.

Bun B is a real one. Love his interviews.

The opening to “Murda” is and will always be my favorite opening ever. The way Pimp C hit you right in the face and killed the verse and Bun just kept it going makes the song flawless!!!!

Idek how to describe how great this was...I am...This was just...UGH!!! I'm just so incredibly grateful to hear these men--the greats of our culture speak on their evolution. I could listen to Bun read the telephone book. (Yeah, I dated myself, but idc.😏) Another great one in the books, Talib. 👌🏾

All the episodes with the OG artists are really good. I loved this one. I don’t agree with stopping House of Cards in favor of Breaking Bad though. Haha

Another great interview with a REAL legend in the game who is still very relevant. Didn’t even look like Kweli was working because their conversation was so natural. Thank you for this one. Can’t wait to hear that Madliberation 2. The first one was a mixtape favorite of mine!

extremely outspoken individual, Bun B is! Loved every second of this

Dirty Money is one of my favorite albums of all time, the amount of respect that is due to UGK can simply not be paid in full. RIP Pimp C.

This is a great episode learn a lot and had a great time. Much love to y’all and everyone out there and your families. I have a huge crush on Jasmine much love to her as well and sorry for her loss 😢

Im always listening when i see a new Bun B interview. One of my favorite personality in hiphop

Always a great interview!👏👏👏

Bun B aka Triple OG !!! Trill Burgers all up in this bih !!! Tampa Florida in this bih !!! Luv n Respect ✌️

Great interview 👍🏾

why talib wont let jasmin sit at the table lol

Great show as always and jasmine hair is popping 👍

Flatbush Misdemeanors is the show Jasmine referenced. Funny show

Should be a dope episode

Best interview ever.

Bun B is freakin smart man And so cool And awesome podcast.

Love what you've been doing and need a Lil Wayne and Mack Maine track again #Celebrate shout out to Bun #Legend in his own right! Thanks for telling Birdman keep Wayne in that studio

Bun seems so chill and calm I would love to meet him

Met the BK MC back in 07ish in Houston ironically with Bun. We were out back @ Warehouse Live. I still got that pic somewhere. Being from BK myself living in Tx

Respect....💯💯🤙

So humble. BUN B FOREVER. UGK4L.

My condolences 🙏🏿

Because Im Paranoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could listen to Bun B all day erryday........My comfort sleep is always Frasier and The Larry Sanders Show. In my honest op........Larry Sanders is the coolest and most groundbreaking show to never clean up at Award ceremonies. The Wu ep and the Chappelle ep are reasons why Garry Shandling is the GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:50 finally thank you BUN B great representative back to the video 👁👁 BLINK BLINK

i love BB BERGERS 🎉♥️♥️ MUCH LOVE ♥️♥️❤️💯💪🏼💪🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼✌🏼♥️

Rip pimpC

Flatbush Misdemeanors is the show she was talking about

On your song the last ones with styles p, the first 20 seconds of the song would have been the perfect hook

Talib talks the same way he rap fast and saying alot of words at once

🐐🐐🐐🐐 of the south

Bun so genuine

Long live pimp

Let’s go💨💨💨💨

Ugk🔥🔥🔥

The most player part of Houston country rap tunes is how they used to take a bar from a song and make it the hook.

l think she was talking about Flatbush Misdemeanors tv shows

We need to protect both of these black men at all cost !!!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Burgers 🍔 trill🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bun talk that talk

Wish he would of asked about chamillionaire and him possibly being an underrated MC. Dope interview though.

Love

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥21GOOSE

Bushwick Misdemeanor is the show Jasmine was talking about!

31:30 hilarious 🤣🤣😂 BUN

I have to admit I completely misjudged Bun B based on the content of a lot of his music. He's far more intelligent, humble and articulate than I expected. I'm happy to be taught a lesson not to assume a mam talking about pimps and hoes can't be a smart well-rounded man

Country Cousins!!

The show is called Flatbush Misdemeanor

Talib you need to do that style again like you did on Real Women.. no lie fam, shit was 🔥🔥🔥

An interview with Q Tip or LL Cool J would be awesome

🏆🏆🏆🏆

Peaky Blinders def the joint. Also: Top Boy

So blessed to have grown up in Detroit where every house has a driveway, garage, and backyard where we could park our cars. We could park on the streets no problem as well...the only thing you have to worry about is someone stealing your shit though.😂

That's a sacrifice...

I’m a new yorker from Brooklyn Jay z my dude but touched by UGK is better than 99 problems!!! ✊🏾

Ol girl leather button up is too hard

Yo son Seth is my man from my block. Crown street.

The Professor

11:30 Let me tell yall something, NY subway got rats while other Metros around the globe dont, it's New York that is a problem, not the subway.

1:10:47 is it tho hilarious 🤣🤣😂😂😉😉

🎉

Heads up eyes open is easily your best song. Second would probably be something off fuck the money. Anyone who says your later shit is whack is buggin because fuck the money was a dope record. And radio silence

23:39 WOW learn something new ERR DAY 👁️👁️ BLINK BLINK

1:06:49 HELLO 👁👁 BLINK BLINK

The pimp and the bun .. my personal best

Hol up Talib Best Hamburger in the world Craig? Looking ass😃

Nobody in my New York family drives.

Someone please school me on the black flag with the 3 bars on it. I'm not familiar.

10:10 - “public transportation is so incredible” - Have Talib ever been to China?😂😂😂 Chinese public transportation IS incredible - no bums, no bombs, no freaks. It’s clean, fast, safe and air-conditioned

He damn sho right about black folks find any excuse to get off the phone 😂 😂😂😂

If you don’t love the good brother Bun B, then I don’t trust you.
