DUSTY CRATES

Last night’s Bun B solo performance was damn near legendary. Shit, I’m getting goose-bumps just thinking about it. Warehouse Live filled to capacity with every colored Texas folks under one roof. After an excellent extended set by The Rub’s DJ Ayres (check out the Houston for Dummies mixtape below), the live funk/soul band Orgone took the stage. They became the backdrop for the pride of PA as Bun stepped up on stage.

For the next hour, Bun set off the place with all his classics (“Draped Up”,  “Pocket Full of Stones”, “Front Back, Side to Side”, “Get Throwed”, “Big Pimpin”, “International Player’s Anthem”), new jams off his latest album, II Trill (“You’re Everything”, “Gangsta”, “Swang on ‘Em”) and he even did his remix of MIA’s “Paper Planes.” Wow, indeed!

I paused to video tape the clip above. Throughout his performance, I kept thinking how incomplete it felt without Pimp C. Although, I’m sure it was an understatment for Bun. Midway through the show he very eloquently thanked his H-town crowd for their never-ending support and expressed how much he misses his brother. Bun went on to reassure everyone that Pimp’s spirit was in the building.

And the show went on as we all chanted “UGK for life!”
