Happy to take on a father figure role for the many rappers in and around his beloved Port Arthur, Texas, rapper Bun B has taken more hits than a heavyweight in a career spanning more than 30 years. 

In his lecture at the 2008 Red Bull Music Academy, the trill OG recounted his beginnings in Port Arthur, the lessons from UGK and why caring will always beat hating.

Despite that, he has never failed to be anything other than a true statesman for Southern hip-hop: a walking advertisement for his hometown and for rap’s ability to enact change in society. As one half of UGK, AKA Underground Kingz, Bun left an indelible mark on rap, and following the tragic death of his partner Pimp C he has continued to work and raise a new generation.
