Complex caught up with Uncle Bun to talk about how the (really dope) UGK x 2pac x Trey Songz collaboration came about for his upcoming album, Trill OG.
It’s produced by Steve Bilo, a protégé of Pimp’s. It was originally recorded as a live verse and a chorus. My verse is from this year, Pimp C’s verse is from the 2000 decade, and Pac’s verse is from the ’90s. Pac’s verse was already there. We gave the producer the tempo. We stripped the track bare. It wasn’t like the track was created and the verse had to fit on it. So we just built a beat around the same tempo that the verse was already recorded to. If I had to guess, [Pac’s verse] had to be from before the Death Row beef or it has to be around when he started putting together [One Nation], when he had Boot Camp and all of those people. In the song he’s talking about being in New York, walking down 125th, and being at the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Really, it was killing me. It took everything in me to not leak just a piece of it during the Puerto Rican parade. I was just looking at it like, “Fuck, the song should’ve been out yesterday.”
You can read up on the rest of the Pac story as well as Bun’s thoughts on Thank Me Later‘s sales over here.
(2)DOPBOYZ or (A)DOPEBOY Conspiracy
I’m here to shed light on my theory of the “2dopeboyz” Shake & Meka.
We all have seen pictures of Meka, he is indeed a real living entity. How many of us have actually seen his counterpart “Shake”. Would it be so inconceivable to believe that “Shake” is nothing more than Meka’s alter ego that he uses. It is never Meka who responds to hate from the bloggers, it is Shake. This could be Meka’s way of taking out his frustrations through his made up blogging parter, Shake. Meka could very easily turn his alter ego in a virtual counterpart and allow this made up blogger to absorb the blows 2dopeboyz takes. Hate is always directed at Shake, making Meka seem as the favorite between the two when really Meka is the ONLY dopeboy. Could (2)dopeboyz merely be (A)dopeboy???
^ lol
I can’t wait to hear the track
You know the realest I never thought of it like that I have pondered many nights but ever had the right evidence to convince. I think your right though
@The Realist
People post pics of Shake in the C-Section all the time, and he always takes them down fast. Follow him on Twitter, you can always see pics of his white arm when he’s holding various alcoholic beverages. There’s no stupid conspiracy, Shake and Meka obviously just don’t want their personal shit all over the net.
SHAKE IS YOU REAL?
Lol funniest C-section convo ever.
Shake are you non-existant?? I knew it! Shake you dumbfuck you aint foolig no one!

Thumbs down for a rehashed 2Pac verse. The original version with Greg Nyce, L.S. and Snoop is dope though.
I never plan on hearing a track were a generic so called r&b artist is put on a track with one of the most prolific MC’s that ever lived I doubt Pac would agree with being on a song with this lame as “So Called R&B Singer”.
Damn I’m so glad I dug this up, this is the funniest C-Section convo ever.
